From industrial machines and medical devices to parking meters and vending machines: touchscreens are increasingly used to control these applications.
Perfectly suited for medical technology, sanitation areas, and the food service industry.
With the electrification of the automotive industry, the ambition quickly arose to transfer this to aviation to the same extent. Hydraulic systems give way to electric ones.
In contrast to conventional wired components for through-hole assembly (THT = Through Hole Technology), SMD components are fixed directly on the copper-laminated surface of the board by means of a solder paste and then soldered in a reflow process (similar to an oven).
Switching without touching. Switching without contaminating the surface with potentially harmful germs, viruses or bacteria.
2000 metres. This altitude above sea level represents the upper limit for applications of many passive components certified according to IEC.
Input systems via surface touch are widely used in industry and medical technology as well as in the public sector. However, touch intensive surfaces cause a health risk.
When it comes to presenting new electric vehicles, automobile manufacturers are constantly beating each other with increasingly shorter charging times and longer ranges.
Power connectors and power entry modules built to IEC standards for medical applications
A combined on-board network of 12 VDC and 48 VDC helps to supply the constantly growing number of electrical consumers in cars with energy.
The membrane switch is a control panel that has proven itself over the years as a very reliable solution for, among other things, standalone applications.
The fuseholder standard IEC/EN 60127-6 has been revised to improve fire safety.
This white paper from SCHURTER proposes solutions to reduce EMI from equipment, to reduce line noise coming in the systems, and to protect photovoltaic system equipment against overcurrent and overvoltage conditions.
This white paper from Schurter discusses IEC standards that enhance the safety of household and similar electrical appliances.
Pluggable appliance couplers according to IEC 60320 provide a great deal of flexibility and efficiency while complying with the strictest safety requirements and responding to the increasing need for user-friendliness and maximum safety.
This white paper from SCHURTER discusses factors that need to be considered when selecting rated currents of circuit breakers.
The focal point of this article deals with leakage currents and what is to be observed in connection with this.
