Schurter’s new FPBB RAIL is an extraordinarily slim double-stage, single-phase filter, measuring only 25 mm in width. The attractive space-saving design integrates an optional fuseholder or circuit breaker. Additionally, an overvoltage varistor is available in all three variations. FPBB RAIL: three functions in one ultra-slim housing.

Space can be a scarce commodity on a panel, particularly panel designs in control cabinets for industrial machinery. Densely populated interference generating components, such as switching power supplies or inverters, can further complicate design when high performance filters are required to reach CE conformity. These filters can be large and can occupy premium space on the DIN-Rail. SCHURTER provides a solution with the FPBB RAIL. The new two-stage filter offers a very high EMI attenutation in an ultra-slim, space-saving housing.

Typical areas of application for the FPBB RAIL are industrial or machine controls, where downsizing and possible relocation of the control cabinet to a more accessible area can be realized. A backplane screw mount version is also available for further flexibility in design. The powerful, slim filters are also ideal for medical equipment according to IEC / UL 60601-1 and ICT equipment according to IEC / UL 60950, offering low leakage or standard current options. Further features include cage clamp terminals for particularly efficient, fast wiring.

A thermal runaway is an increasing threat to electronic devices where more and more power is packed in ever smaller spaces; it is a threat that is poorly dealt with using traditional means.

The causes of a thermal runaway are varied and often random in nature. However, the ever-higher power density in electronic wiring and the trend towards miniaturization are without a doubt of particular importance.

More and more functions are packed in compact modules, which then also have a correspondingly high power consumption. Even slightly excessive currents in power electronics with only a little power loss lead to elevated temperatures of approximately 200 °C. The possible consequences: damage or disconnection of surrounding components, damage to the printed circuit board structure or, in the worst case, the triggering of a fire.

* Ultra-compact design
* Suitable for very high EMI disturbances
* Various mounting options
* V-Lock cord retaining option
* Fuseholder meets latest IEC standard

Today’s electronic equipment is designed to deliver high performance in a compact size. Often this causes problems affecting the equipment itself or other nearby devices due to the inherent electro-magnetic interferences being generated in and between the different systems. To meet these EMC challenges, high performance power entry modules must also keep pace, and such is the case with the new DD14 series from SCHURTER. The DD14 series packs remarkable functionality into a new generation of compact power entry modules.

The new DD14 combines an IEC C14 appliance inlet with 2-pole switch and 2-pole fuseholder. EMC performance is further enhanced with a depth-saving 2-stage filter. Shielding is optimized by screwing the metal casing of the filter to the panel, using its horizontal or vertical flange. A snap-in filter version eliminates the flange, consuming even less panel space.

The DD14 integrates the EMC filter directly in line with the power input. The two-stage filter design suppresses interference voltages more effectively over a much broader frequency spectrum than single-stage filters, thereby having a positive effect on electro-magnetic compatibility. Standard and low-leakage medical filter options are available for use in commercial or facilities ICT equipment according to IEC 60950 and medical equipment according to IEC 60601-1. The series meets the new fuseholder requirements outlined in IEC 60127-6 for enhanced fire safety and is also suitable for use in home appliances according to IEC 60335-1. It is compatible with V-Lock retaining cordsets.

The DD14 is rated for current levels up to 10 A / 250 VAC according to IEC and 8 A 125/250 VAC according to UL / CSA. It is ENEC and cURus approved.

• Prevents power semiconductors from thermal runaway
• Supports up to 60 VDC applications
• Reflow solderable at 260 °C
• Customer-specific version with shunt or overcurrent fuse
• Smallest dimensions

Schurter introduces its new RTS. The RTS is a particularly compact overtemperature protection device using advanced SMD technology. It is suited for the highest demands of protection in power semiconductors.

RTS stands for "Reflowable Thermal Switch". It was developed to protect highly integrated power semiconductors like MOSFETs, ICs, IGBTs, Triacs, SCRs, etc. from overheating. Before mechanical activation, the RTS can be mounted using conventional reflow soldering techniques with temperature profiles up to 260 °C.

Mechanical Activation
After having the RTS reflow soldered on a PCB, mechanical activation arms the RTS for tripping at 210 °C. This activation can be done manually or by fully automated means. In contrast to electrical activation, the RTS activation status is clearly and immediately visible to the installer. Furthermore, the third additional contact required for electrical activation is thereby eliminated.

Compact Dimensions, High Load Capacity
The new type of overtemperature protection shines with the smallest dimensions and highest load capacity. Operating currents up to 100 A at rated voltages of up to 60 VDC can be handled by the RTS, which is just 6.6 x 8.8 mm in size. Customer-specific variants are available with an integrated shunt or an additional overcurrent fuse. These further integrated functions are resulting in less space consumed on the printed circuit board. The Reflowable Thermal Switch meets the high reliability requirements of AEC-Q200 and MIL-STD.

Protection Against Thermal Runaway
Thermal runaway refers to the overheating of a power semiconductor due to a self-reinforcing, heat-producing process. The reasons for this are the ever increasing power density and the trend towards miniaturization of electronic circuits.

RTS protects power semiconductors not through a logic circuit but rather through basic laws of physics. In case of a thermal runaway, the RTS reliably interrupts the circuit precisely at the well-defined temperature.

Technical Data
• Rated Voltage 60 VDC
• Tripping temperature 210 °C
• Operating current up to 100 A
