Hot topic: Electric vehicle components get more sophisticated thermal models
The high electrical currents of fast charging are forcing designers to invent standard techniques for predictably modeling heat and cooling. Dr. Michael Ludwig, T&C Core Technologies, TE Connectivity The only way electric vehicles (EVs) will ever catch on is if consumers can charge them up quickly. Consequently, manufacturers are developing high-power charging (HPC) schemes which […]
Bridge brings better thermal transfer for high-speed, dense connectors
TE Connectivity (TE) is introducing its thermal bridge technology that can provide up to two times better thermal resistance over traditional thermal technologies such as gap pads or thermal pads. As systems like servers, switches and routers deliver higher speeds and grow more sophisticated, their power requirements are rising, leading to a need for new […]
High-voltage DC EV600 contactors available with 12- or 24-V coils
TE Connectivity (TE) released its new KILOVAC EV600 high voltage DC contactors. Hermetically sealed and designed for harsh environments, EV600 contactors are rated to handle more current than the widely-used EV200/LEV200 contactors without taking up additional space on the board. Rated for 600-amps, TE’s EV600 is the latest addition to the KILOVAC high-performance contactor line. […]
MIL-spec relays sport double-make contacts
Interstate Connecting Components, (ICC), a division of Heilind Mil-Aero, has added CII FC-335 Series relays from TE Connectivity (TE). Built to MIL-PRF-6106 specifications, TE’s CII FC-335 Series relays offer a rugged means of power switching in a variety of aerospace, defense and marine applications.
