output, suitable for driving constant
voltage unipolar stepping motors.
Toshiba adopted DMOS FET output
drivers for its new products to
secure the high efficiency customer
requires to reduce power loss-
DMOS FET do not require a base
current, and can accept high current
density per device area, keeping
on-resistance low.
Main Features of New Products
High efficiency drive
TBD62xxxA series transistor arrays
cut power loss by about 38%[4]
compared with the TD62xxxA
series.
High-voltage, large-current drive
The absolute maximum output
rating is 50V/1.5A.
Packages to suit various needs.
The line-ups include a DIP
type, strongly demanded by the
equipment market for hobbies,
amusements and industrial fields,
and an HSOP type with a heat sink
that realizes both high current(1.5A)
drive and surface mounting.
Panasonic new FKS
series aluminium electrolytic
capacitors delivers more
capacitance while reducing
can size
Saves space; increases system
reliability
Panasonic Automotive & Industrial
Systems is launching a new series
of miniaturized, cost-effective,
aluminium electrolytic capacitors
that not only save space, but also
increase system reliability. New
FKS series features an increase
in capacitance of up to three times
when compared to Panasonic most
popular FK series in the same can
size.
For example, the new 25V 33µF
FKS capacitor, which comes in
a 4×5.8mm can size, uses just
62% of the space of previous
generation parts; in fact the highest
capacitance achieved by FK series
in a 4×5.8mm can is 10µF. So, one
of the new parts can replace three
of the FK devices.
Comments Dr. Martina Ciacchi,
head of Panasonic capacitor team
in Europe: “By increasing the
capacitance density we simplify
our customer´s design, enabling
a reduction in parts count and
therefore we increase the design
reliability. Additionally, the FKS
series features a price decrease of
about 10% when compared to an FK
product with the same capacitance
value. ”
Panasonic is launching 25 new
part numbers in the FKS series
aluminium electrolytic capacitor
family this quarter, in voltage
classes between 6.3V and 50V
and capacitance range from
33µF to 1800µF. Can sizes vary
from 4×5.8mm to 10×10.2mm.
Target markets include industrial
automation, automotive, power
management, audio and white
goods.
TE Connectivity’s UIC
series connectors, now
available at TTI, provide
robust reliability for railway
and mass transit applications
TE Connectivity’s UIC series
connectors, now available at TTI,
provide robust reliability for railway
and mass transit applications
August 2015 – Three new series
of heavy-duty interconnects from
TE Connectivity (TE), a world
leader in connectivity, are now
available in Europe through TTI
Inc., a world leading specialist
distributor of passive, connector,
electromechanical and discrete
components. TE’s UIC 552, 568
and 541 series of connectors are
designed for rail and mass-transit
applications.
TE’s UIC 552 series of high
power, single pole connectors with
automatic cover locking is designed
to connect the main line’s rolling
stock. This series includes a plug
with crimp contacts, distribution
box (back or lateral cable outlets),
junction box with safety lock,
intermediate derivation box and
dummy socket with cover. UIC
552 series connectors are robust
and durable, providing more than
500 mating cycles, while offering a
nominal current of up to 800A (with
185mm2 cable) and nominal voltage
of 3000V AC/DC. IP56 certified
against high-pressure water jets
and salt-spray resistant up to 96
hours, theses connectors can be
used in temperatures ranging from
minus 50 degrees Celsius up to 120
degrees Celsius.
Providing more than 500 mating
cycles, the highly durable UIC 568
series connectors are pull-apart
circular interconnects featuring
a painted aluminium socket,
