Emech & Enclosures

Würth Elektronik has created a stick-back tape that blocks or absorbs electric and magnetic fields across 100Hz to 25GHz. Called WE-EMIP EMI absorber sheet, is only 72μm thick and consists of a layer of aluminium, a magnetic absorber layer (100 permeability at 1MHz) and a polymer carrier layer. “It offers attenuation exceeding 40dB over a wide frequency range,” according to ...

Emil Otto has created a range of cleaning agents for solar panels. “Photovoltaic modules must be cleaned regularly to ensure maximum performance,” according to the company. “However care must be taken when cleaning as the use of chemical cleaning agents carries a considerable risk of damage. Aggressive chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents can scratch or corrode the sensitive surfaces of ...

Monolithic micro-speaker company xMEMS has created a cooling fan. XMC-2400, as it will be known, measures 9.26 x 7.6 x 1.08mm. Designed to have one of its flat sides in contact with the object to be cooled, it draws in air through holes in its other flat side, and discharges it through one of the edges. “A single XMC-2400 can ...

Cortec has created packaging paper that is both anti-static and anti-corrosion, positioning it as a replacement for plastic bags. The paper is recyclable and re-pulpable, and does not contain nitrites, phosphates, silicates or hazardous compounds. “This product eliminates static electricity build-up through the use of a coating made from soybean oil,” according to the company. “EcoSonic ESD Paper performs better ...

CUI Devices has added tweeters to its range of loudspeakers. Called the CTW range, there are six tweeters, measuring from 30.5 x 30.5mm to 58.8 x 58.8 mm, and between 13.5 to 24mm from front to back. Oval, rectangular and round frame shapes are available, some with ferrite magnets and others with neodymium types, with cones of and paper, polyester ...

Dow has introduced a range of solvent-less silicone conformal coatings to protect electronics components. The CC-8000 series, as it will be known, are dual-cure silicones where ultra-violet exposure gives a fast initial cure to ‘grab’ any loose parts, while exposure to moisture gradually cures areas from which the UV was obscured. “The ability to cure in seconds with broad spectrum UV ...

Kyocera AVX has created a series of waterproof poke-to-insert wire-to-wire connectors. It rates its 9289-000 series as IP67, and is aiming them at industrial, transportation, commercial and consumer markets. “These single-piece, three-position connectors are the sixth poke-home wire-to-wire connector series in the Kyocera AVX portfolio, but the first waterproof connectors in the range,” according to the company. which describes them ...

CUI Devices has announced single-position terminal blocks in blue, green, red, white or yellow, that can be snapped together to create custom colour-coded PCB-solder-mount screw-less terminal blocks. There are three types: TBL-0014-750 – 7.5mm pitch top-entry poke-in TBL-0015-750 – 7.5mm pitch side-entry poke-in TBL-0016-1000 – 10mm pitch side-entry lever-operated 7.5mm types are rated at 0-40A and 0-300V (UL), or 41A ...

Prusa has introduced its first industrial 3D printer, which includes a 90°C heated chamber and a 500°C print head for handling engineering polymers including PEEK and PEI, while still printing PLA for prototyping. Called ‘Pro HT90’, it has a vertical cylinder build volume, 300mm in diameter and 400mm tall. “HT90 supports a wide range of materials, from PLA to Ultem ...

Teknic has added an EtherCAT interface to some of its brushless servo motor models, creating the ClearPath-EC range. These come in frame sizes from NEMA 23 to 34 and powers from 38 to 429W, and the motors are sealed to IP66K or IP67 which enables them to be washed down. All feature an internal position encoder, and are programmable via ...
