Thermally conductive graphite for best heat dissipation

Leadertech produces thermal interface material in sheets, also based on graphite. Graphite is used for its extremely good thermal conductivity, but only on surfaces that don’t need to be electrically isolated. The vertical conductivity is a decent 5W/m-K while the horizontal thermal conductivity is extremely high at 400W/m-K. Therefore, thermally conductive graphite can be used…

Practical Power Analyzer for inverters and power supplies

With the Power Analyzer DPA3011, Elab-Tools offers a practical and universal measuring instrument for electronics engineers who develop equipment that is connected to the mains, such as inverters, machines and power supplies. The Power Analyzer is used to measure the power factor, harmonics and distortion during dynamic current behavior. The DPA3011 records 8 signal parameters:…

Lightweight Flexible EMC Test Lab

The Shieldex EMI tents are made of self-produced yarns and textiles. This base material can be optimized to the desired radiation attenuation and frequency range. A tent is made up of several layers for the best measurement result, but also to guarantee functionality and thus create a robust, tear-resistant and practical workable solution. With these…

Handheld ESD simulator

Electronic equipment must have a certain immunity to electrostatic discharge, tested according to the international standard IEC 61000-4-2. The German equipment manufacturer Schlöder has a series of programmable ESD simulators guns, which can be used both on battery and mains: SESD 216: 16.5kV air and 10kV contact discharge SESD 230: 30kV air and contact discharge…

EMC shielding for medical displays

Display filters for medical devices have challenging characteristics, including EMC shielding, chemical resistance, as well as maximum readability. PSC has various solutions for this. Polycarbonate with indium-tin oxide coating: robust solution, small color difference possible, almost no noticeable loss in transparency Optical-grade acrylic with a cast steel or copper mesh: best optical properties, highest EMC…

Electrical and weather-resistant seals

Parker Chomerics has a range of seals made of conductive elastomers with dual functionality. Where the standard seals provide either an environmental seal against moisture, dust and dirt or provide an electrically conductive seal, Parker Chomerics has accommodated both functions in one seal. These flexible seals are used for opening doors, hatches etc. The field…

Digital EMC measurement receivers for every application

The FFT 3000 family of digital EMI receivers from AFJ Instruments support fast and accurate measurements according to CISPR-16-1-1. In conjunction with this, AFJ also offers calibrated antennas for these radiative emission measurements. FFT 3010 The FFT 3010 is the basic version with a measuring range 9kHz to 300MHz, equipped with FFT scan mode. Suited…
