New Snap-in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors
TDK-EPC, a group company of TDK Corporation, has developed snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitors from EPCOS that enable optimal contact to heat sinks. This permits link circuit capacitors to be efficiently cooled, significantly increasing their ripple current capability and operating life. As a result, the new capacitors are especially suited for applications in frequency … [Read more...]
Resettable Thermal-Magnetic Circuit Breakers with Push-in Bridging
Phoenix Contact’s UT 6-TMC M thermal-magnetic circuit breakers protect electrical circuits from overload or short circuit damage, make wiring easier and eliminate time-consuming troubleshooting. One wire powers all the breakers, which means each circuit breaker does not have to be wired individually. With resettable circuit breakers, the push of a button gets the system up and … [Read more...]
