Toshiba has upped the output of a photovoltaic generator to drive high-voltage power mosfets in galvanically-isolated solid-state relays (SSRs). The device is the TLP3910, with a minimum open voltage of 14V – double that of the earlier TLP3906. TLP3910 is also Toshiba’s first photovoltaic coupler with a minimum isolation voltage 5kVrms. “Along with the creepage ...

Smiths Interconnect has introduced a lower-cost variant to its Hypergrip range of medical connectors. Called Hypergrip Flex, the main change is a move from its >20,000 insertion cycle Hyperboloid socket contact to its >2,000 insertion cycle ‘MR’ socket – an 0.4mm diameter socket suited to “standard cycle life applications”, according to the company. Comparing Hypergrip and Hypergrip ...

Omron is aiming at power conditioning in micro power generators, inverters and UPS with a 800Vac 200A relay designed to create little heat. Called G9KA, its first heat reduction technique is to have a low contact resistance. Its cadmium-free silver-alloy contacts have an initial resistance of 200μΩ (200A for 30min) – contact gap is 4mm (applied ...

Inspired by the way certain insects grip surfaces, Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley have added electrostatic adhesion to the feet of their insect-scale robot. In 2019, the team demonstrated an externally-powered layered piezoelectric flexing cockroach-sized mini-machine that could scurry forwards at 20 body lengths per second (~1.5mph). Part of its secret is that it ...
