Thermistors and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are both types of resistors, able to be used for measuring temperature by gauging electrical resistance in modern heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigerating systems. Despite falling into a similar category of products, the exact design of these parts and their uses differ. As such, this article will explore thermistors, RTDs, and their differences from one another that make them useful in varying applications.
Learn MoreAlternators are vital components that provide alternating current (AC) for the means of charging up a car battery and supporting a vehicle’s electrical system. They utilize mechanical energy and convert it into the electrical energy required by various vessels, More specifically, it is considered a critical part of the charging system of a vehicle, its battery, and voltage regulator. To better understand the complexity of alternators, we will cover their use, types, and functions.
Learn MoreBoth varistors and TVS diodes have the ability to protect sensitive circuit parts from high voltage surges, so how can one decide which is the right option for their circuit? Though these devices have a similar function, they vary in several factors of their design and characteristics. To learn more about choosing the right option for your circuit, read on as we discuss the core ways in which varistors and TVS diodes differ.
Learn MoreOf all the types of capacitors on the market, the ceramic capacitor serves as the most commonly used in electronic circuit applications. It is preferred over other types because of its compact physical size and immense charge storage capability. Ceramic capacitors earned their name due to the fact that they use ceramic as their dielectric medium.
Learn MoreElectromechanical relays are switches used to control high power electrical devices. They turn a small amount of power into a much larger amount. These relays use an electrical supply in order to perform a mechanical action, hence the name. Moving parts are used to connect contacts within the relay. Electromechanical relays are most commonly used to control a single circuit using a low power signal or to control multiple circuits with a single signal.
Learn MoreThey always sound so high tech that we hardly notice that our day-to-day lives always involve the use of sensors. From IR sensors in TV remotes to passive infrared sensors on automatic doors or LDRs for outdoor and street lightings, sensors are everywhere.
Learn MoreThere are plenty of electrical connectors used in the aerospace industry as well as many other industries. All of the diverse options make it hard to pick a suited connector for your custom application. In this article, we talk about the many types of connectors you can use to go with the best application for the job. One application that is mentioned often is the d type electrical connectors.
Learn MoreBinder, Connector and Cable Company, has increased their products to spread 3 into different types of industries. Ranging from different types of configurations and outputs, Binder adopts automation technology. It has placed a M12 Connector on the market that is precisely designed to handle power applications used for many other types of industries.
Learn MoreABB is known by many to be The World Top Bearing Manufacture. In a $60 million-dollar investment, ABB opened a new plant in Senatobia, Mississippi to expand production in the US. The 85,000-square foot manufacturing facility employs over 100 and has plans to increase that number to 300 in coming years. The US plant will focus on connector components that were previously manufactured overseas. Units coming out of the plant will also include products from recently acquired Thomas & Betts.
Learn MoreKeyKote’s Nickel-free Phosphating Technologies will revolutionize a number of industries such as aerospace, automotive, metalworking and oil/gas construction. Through the iron management KeyKote technology, consumers will be able to limit the iron content of bath solutions and reduce bath maintenance and new make-ups.
Learn MoreAmphenol Industrial Group has announced that they will now be offering a new medium amperage connection system that offers 70 A of continuous current with the ePower Lite offering an operating voltage of 800 Vdc. These connectors were designed for hybrid/electric vehicle markets and feature a lightweight plastic shell for compact design and to offer substantial weight/space savings in vehicle architectures across the industry. Featuring a 2, 3 and 4-way systems with optional HVIL/ EMI shielding, the ePower-Lite offeres improved safety and performance. Built to meet the ever-growing demand for medium voltage and medium amperage applications, the Amphenol’s ePower-Lite connector series incorporates 3.6-mm terminals with RADSOK technology patented by Amphenol.
Learn MoreBIW Connector Systems, the industry leader of manufacturing and designing of highly engineered connector solutions for the gas and oil industries, has recently debuted their unique seven-contact wellhead outlet which has been designed to connect reliably and safely to monitoring equipment in gas and oil production wells. ITT Corporation’s BIW Connector Systems brand has created this wellhead outlet in order to serve as the first of its kind for the upstream production market. This innovative penetrator system was designed for the demanding underground conditions which are often experienced in conventional as well as steam flood wells.
