Stackpole's SM8035 for High-Energy Pulse Applications

The SM8035 from Stackpole Electronics, Inc. is a 4W molded SMD wirewound resistor. The robust wirewound element is able to withstand much higher surge energy than other film surge resistors. The SM8035 in a 1 ohm value for example has the energy handling capacity of 43.3 Joules. The other SM sizes similarly have impressive pulse handling for their size. Pulse handling also typically increases for lower resistance values due to the necessity to use larger diameter wire.

SM wirewound resistor energy capacity examples: Part number SM2615__1R00 (1W/1 Ohm) is rated for 1.7 J. Part number SM4124__1R00 (2W/1 Ohm) is rated for 2.7 J. Part number SM6227__1R00 (3W/1 Ohm) is rated for 17.2J. And part number SM8035__1R00 (4W/1 Ohm) is rated for 43.3J. The SM series in general is a good choice for a wide range of power supplies and electric motor controls, as well as robotics, medical devices, test equipment, network equipment, and industrial automation.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules

Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure

Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
