DKCV-1 Current-Compensated Chokes for Vertical PCB Mounting

  • Very high inductance
  • Compact design with a small footprint
  • Open structure for optimized cooling
  • Optional customer-specific versions
Schurter Dkcv 1 Pic

Schurter is launching a new, vertically mountable choke family for PCBs with very high inductances. The DKCV-1 current-compensated chokes are designed for currents from 0.5 to 10 A. Thanks to their nanocrystalline cores, the new chokes have very high inductances with particularly compact dimensions.

Powerful applications in the energy sector are becoming increasingly compact. This compact design combined with high energy efficiency leads to an increase in electromagnetic interference in modern electronic devices. Powerful filter elements are required to suppress this interference. Due to the compact dimensions, the integration of the filter elements on printed circuit boards is an ideal solution. The new DKCV-1 choke series is particularly suitable for applications that require high attenuation.

High Performance in a Compact Design
The nanocrystalline cores enable very high currents with extremely compact dimensions. Thanks to the vertical choke arrangement, they also require very little space on the PCB. All variants of the DKCV-1 family have the same footprint on the PCB.

Applications
The new chokes are ideal for demanding applications that require high inductance with compact dimensions. These include switching power supplies, industrial, medical, laboratory and test equipment. The chokes are suitable for currents up to 10 A and voltages up to 300 VAC or 450 VDC and have ENEC,
cUR and UR approvals. For higher power applications, the DKIV-1 series of chokes is available with rated currents up to 50A.

Schurter OGN Adapter - Combined Fuse Cover / Extractor

October 29, 2024
Image

Plugging Aid and Protection Cover for all OGN Fuse Holders

  • Easy placing and replacing of 5x20 fuses
  • Approved as a cover in operation
  • Glow wire tested
  • 1:1 replacement of current plugging aid
Schurter Ogn Adaapter

For the Schurter OGN fuse holder, which is available in THT, SMT and THR technology, Schurter offers a variety of different covers in addition to a dedicated plugging aid. Schurter launches the OGN Adapter for easy mounting and removal of fuses and at the same time serves as a cover for the OGN fuse holders.

The currently available OGN plugging aid is a very useful tool for placing 5x20 fuses into all types of OGN fuse holder. It makes placing and replacing of fuses much easier, especially on densely packed PCBs.

It is often the case that the plugging aid remains in place together with the fuse, which means that the plugging aid also remains in the appliance during operation. However, this is not permitted for safety reasons. With a rated power consumption of 2.5W/10 A, the plugging aid is endangered to overheat. Schurter is now taking this into account with the launch of the new OGN Adapter. At 4W/16A, it is significantly more heat-resistant and has also been tested for glow-wire resistance. It can therefore remain in the device during operation with a clear conscience (VDE approval) and serve as a cover.

The new OGN Adapter can therefore replace two products at once: the cover and the plugging aid. The OGN Adapter is going to replace the existing OGN plugging aids. They are not recommended anymore for new designs and will fall out of the product range soon.

Schurter TA35 / TA36 Thermal-Magnetic Circuit Breakers

September 26, 2024
Image

TA35 / TA36 Thermal-Magnetic Circuit Breakers

  • Thermal and magnetic tripping for protection against overcurrent in accordance with IEC 60934
  • Super-fast tripping in the event of a short circuit
  • Finely graduated rated currents
  • Wide range of design options
Schurter Ta35 36

Schurter has a long tradition with circuit breakers. In addition to their thermal release (bimetal), the classic TA35 and TA36 are now optionally equipped with an additional magnetic module, which promises reliable protection within milliseconds in the event of very high overcurrent (short circuit).

Thermal Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers are usually designed according to the thermal principle with a bimetal. If a defined temperature is exceeded due to overcurrent, the electric circuit is interrupted. Once the bimetal cooled down, the appliance is ready for use again. However, if a short circuit occurs, the bimetal cannot react fast enough. For this reason, thermal circuit breakers are usually combined with a fuse.

Additional Magnetic Module
Schurter is now upgrading its 2-pole classic TA35 and TA36 models with an additional, optional magnetic module. From now on, no additional fuse is required when using a thermal-magnetic type. Depending on the application, the magnetic modules are available either with a slow or a fast acting characteristic.

Both models are designed for snap-in mounting and with finely graduated rated currents. A variety of colours and lighting options make the designer's choice easier. The Schurter TA35 has a more classic style, while its TA36 counterpart comes in a more modern design. A circuit breaker with a short circuit protection is mainly meant for applications, where a full protection on the primary side is required.

Schurter Logo

FPAC RAIL 3-Phase DIN Rail Filter

  • Slim Housing
  • Suitable for many applications thanks to high voltage resistance
  • Metal Base Plate for optimum ground connection to the rail
  • Variants with standard (ferrite core) and high attenuation (nanocrystalline core)
Schurter Fpac Rail

Schurter launches a new 3-phase filter series for DIN rail mounting. Thanks to the slim housing (44 mm), it takes up very little space on the mounting rail in the control cabinet. The single-stage filter is available with standard or high attenuation. A metal base plate ensures an excellent ground connection to the rail.

Space is almost always at a premium in control cabinets for industrial applications in the 3-phase range (e.g. motor drives, control systems). Schurter addresses this problem with a complete new filter design that is just 44 mm in width. The new, single-stage filter series is constructed with a printed circuit board in a plastic housing. It has screw terminals for the three phases and a terminal on the metal base plate for the earth connection.

Standard and High Performance Versions
In the standard version with a ferrite core, the new filters already offer very impressive attenuation behavior. The high performance versions withn nanocrystalline cores achieve up to 8 dB more attenuation.

Low Leakage Currents
The new filter family has particularly low leakage currents of just 1.3 mA. This applies to all versions!

Applications
All versions can be used from -40 °C to 100 °C. The filters are designed for currents from 3 A to 32 A at a maximum of 520 VAC in accordance with IEC and UL standards. They feature ENEC and cURus approval and are suitable for applications in accordance with IEC 62368-1. FPAC rail filters are recommended for devices with high EMC loads (switching power supplies, converters, etc.).

Typical areas of application are therefore industrial or machine control systems, but the highperformance, slimline filters are also ideal for laboratory, telecom and IT devices.

  • First connector system in accordance with IEC TS 62735 and IEC TS 63236
  • Rewirable connectors, appliance inlets and outlets
  • Hot plug-capable for disconnection under load up to 2.6 kW and up to 105°C operating temperature
  • Use of bio-based plastics on the appliance side
Schurter 400vdc Connector

After launching the first 400 VDC connectors (GP21 and GS21) in accordance with IEC TS 62735, Schurter is now adding models GC21 and GH21/GI21 on the device side - of course IECcompliant. From the network to the device: The Schurter 400 VDC family is the first DC connector solution available worldwide to be complete according to IEC TS.

With the GP21 and GS21 connectors, Schurter launched the world's first DC connector systems standardized according to IEC TS 62735-1 for efficient power distribution in data centers, for power distribution strips and UPS applications back in 2019.

The GH21 and GI21 appliance Inlets are brand new. The GI21 model is designed for pure DC operation, while the GH21 is a hybrid version and can therefore accept both AC and DC current. SCHURTER also offers the rewireable GC21 Connector to match the appliance Inlets. A cord retention system developed from scratch ensures safe operation in everyday use. All three new products are made from a bio-based plastic (Green Plastic).

The Advantages of DC
With a pure DC supply, cost-intensive and failure-prone transformations and conversions, including their components, are completely eliminated. Operational reliability increases with improved efficiency. And climate-friendly technologies that generate direct current are becoming established in energy generation.

IEC TS 62735-1 / IEC TS 63236
Due to its properties, the standards for direct current (2.6 kW) require a more complex connector connection design as DC arcs must be avoided when disconnecting the supply. Another highlight is the extended temperature range of the connector pins from -5 °C to +105 °C.

Matching Cables
Under the designation SPC1, Schurter now also offers suitable, customized DC power cables for all connection options on request.
