Schurter, as a leading supplier of EMC products is constantly improving the use of its products. The Schurter common mode chokes datasheets now contain impedance diagrams and cURus approval mark.

Current compensated chokes are used to attenuate asymmetrical noise. Such common mode noise is typical for switch circuits such as switching power supplies or inverters.  The compact chokes guarantee efficient disturbance suppression on the printed circuit board. Very compact types for surface mounting are also available as are chokes with wire leads for easy assembling for high power applications.

According to the noise level design engineers can easily select the right choke using the impedance diagram.  This may help to avoid many costly and time consuming measurements. Impedance diagrams are now available for all common mode chokes.

A safety certificate can be obtained even quicker due to the new UL approvals for our chokes.  All Schurter common mode chokes have now the combined UL and CSA approval mark cURus. They were successfully tested according to the UL 1283 and CSA 22.2 No. 8 standard. Approval marks and standards are now listed on all the data sheets.

The Schaffner Group has expanded its product range by the single-stage FN9280 and double-stage FN9290 IEC inlet filters. The new EMC/EMI filter modules with type C14 IEC appliance inlet set the benchmark due to their ultra-compact design, patented combined switch and fuse holder unit, the versatile flange mount system for fast and flexible installation and are either deliverable with fast-on or spring cage terminals.

Despite the compact design of the filter with a height of only 46mm, the combined unit with dual fuse holder provides extra space for a spare fuse. The dual pole power switch disconnects all poles of the device from the mains and can be removed for maintenance thanks to the integration into the combined unit in order to specifically avoid accidental connection and power-on.

For cabling inside the device, the new IEC inlet filters are available with proven fast-on tabs or spring cage terminals for faster and vibration-proof wiring.

The new flange mount system with either horizontal or vertical mounting holes provides maximum flexibility for front or back mounting. Because of the RF tight joining of the flange frames with the deep-drawn steel housings an optimal shielding even against strong magnetic fields has been achieved.

The FN9280 series is equipped with proven single-stage EMC/EMI filters. The FN9290 series requiring the identical panel cutout has a double-stage EMC/EMI filter with an attenuation of up to 80dB and is ideally suited for applications with higher interference levels. The B versions of both series with a minimal leakage current of 5uA max. are suited for use in medical devices. The FN9280 series can optionally be delivered as E version with earth line choke for additional asymmetric interference suppression.

The new series are designed for currents from 1 to 10A with a rated voltage up to 250Vac. They are approved for worldwide use according to UL, CSA, ENEC and CQC and conform to RoHS and REACH. The B-versions comply with the requirements of the active third edition of the safety standard IEC/EN60601-1 for medical devices.

Schurter, the leading provider of fuse holders, is expanding its range to include a fuse clip designed for heavy duty performance. The CSO clip, designed for 10.3 mm diameter fuses, is suitable for applications with voltages up to 1500 VAC/VDC and currents to 32A. These unique characteristics are Schurter’s response to the present need for increasing photovoltaic system voltages.

The CSO clip is available in solder and screw/rivet versions. The solder version allows direct mounting on a printed circuit board by means of through-hole technology. The screw/rivet version provides additional flexibility for basic designs. Due to the special copper alloy both versions are characterized by a strong clamping force resulting in minimal power loss.

The CSO fuse clip is ideal for a wide range of PV and other DC applications including inverters, battery charge controllers, and string fuse holders. Furthermore, the CSO is well suited for applications in the emobility and industrial electronics sectors. The fuse clip conforms to RoHS specifications and is currently the only photovoltaic clip on the market with cURus approval.

Schurter also offers the ASO 10.3x38 PV fuse to fit the new CSO fuse clip. The fuse clip also supports other fuses with a 10.3 mm diameter of any length. This includes, for instance, 10.3x85mm fuses for higher voltages.

- High rated voltage of 1500 VAC/VDC
- High rated current of 32 A
- Minimal power dissipation due to strong clamping force (special copper alloy)
- Solder, screw or rivet mounting
- cURus approval

Finder’s popular low profile relay range has now been extended for use with AC supply voltages. The new 24VAC and 230VAC versions of the 41 Series are ideal where the use of a DC supply voltage proves unsuitable, or would incur additional cost.

Available in single and 2-pole contact versions, with rated switching currents of 8A and 16A, the 15.7mm high relay will find useful applications in electronics, control panels, machine and factory process control systems—particularly where space constraints place limits on height.

With a rated coil power of 0.9VA, the low consumption promotes energy saving, and the cadmium-free contact materials conform to current and future REACH and WEEE directives. It also features RTII environmental protection, making it flux-proof for automatic flow soldering.

The 41 Series low profile relay can be mounted directly onto the pcb, or into a pcb socket. It can also be used with a range of 35mm rail-mounted sockets, with screw or screwless terminals – all available with EMC suppression modules and with the option of a time-saving jumper link.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers, quality designer and manufacturer of a broad range of electro-mechanical and electronic  products for circuit protection, has introduced a new, simplified, low-cost, decentralised  electrical  power  distribution system, each module offering up to 10 outputs rated up to 8A/10A per channel. E-T-A  PowerPlex  Compact provides localised monitoring, control and reliable protection of safety-critical electrical circuits, at the same time offering reduced cabling costs and build time. Communication with the PowerPlex modules is via CAN-bus using SAE J1939 based protocols. Each localised module will handle up to 60A, providing programmable control based on up to 12 digital and 3 analogue inputs as well as programmable overload protection.

Currently available as a 12V DC version, E-T-A PowerPlex Compact is straightforward to install and can be used for  applications such as battery monitoring of split charging circuits, undervoltage monitoring and control, remote operations based on level and flow sensors, responding to limit switches in tail lifts, dimming of lights and for timed controls. It will switch loads and protect them and the electrical harness against overcurrent and short circuits. Featuring high-end power semiconductors with integral protective elements for switching and protection, there are no mechanical components such as relays which may be subject to wear, vibration and shock.

One or more PowerPlex modules are positioned as required around a vehicle to facilitate the local connection of  loads, switches and sensors. Each module can collect sensor data from level and temperature sensors, for example.  E-T-A  PowerPlex is an open system featuring two CAN-bus communication channels which enable control via an E-T-
A  touch  panel or  keypad(s), if required, to enable load switching, and monitoring and display of data from analogue and digital sensors.

The  initial programming of each module via a cable linked PC is straightforward, using configuration software  supplied with the product. It enables, for example, the linking of inputs and outputs, programming of timer  functions and activation of dimmers. The current ratings for overcurrent protection of the load circuits and time characteristics can also be programmed.
