ELECTRONICS: Vishay Intertechnology Inc. has enhanced its 101/102 PHR-ST screw-terminal power aluminum capacitors with larger 90 x 146-mm, 76 x 220-mm, and 90 x 220-mm case sizes, and 13-mm terminals.Featuring a cylindrical aluminum case insulated with a blue sleeve and pressure relief in their disc, the 101/102 PHR-ST devices are now available in 11 case sizes, ranging from 35 x 60 mm to 90 x 220 mm. The new large cases sizes allow for additional high capacitance/voltage combinations from 1F at 25V to 10,000 µF at 450V.
The 101/102 PHR-ST capacitors offer a high rated ripple current to 49.1 A at 85C, and a long useful life of 10,000 h to 15,000 h at 85C. The devices are now available with 8-mm terminals on the standard high-post M5 disc, or 13-mm terminals featuring the new high-current M6 disc. The capacitors are compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.
As polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors with a non-solid electrolyte, the 101/102 PHR-ST devices are ideally suited for dc-link capacitors in high-power switched mode converters and energy storage in pulsed power applications. End products include rail traction for trains and subways, single- and three-phase motor controls, inverters for solar fuel cells, UPS devices, and medical and industrial equipment.
Samples and production quantities of the 101/102 PHR-ST capacitors are available now, with lead times of 12 weeks.
As energy efficiency becomes more and more a concern for makers of electronics devices, researchers are coming up with new ways to harvest energy from sound vibration, footsteps, and even electromagnetic fields in the air.
The government wants to study your brain, and DARPA wants to use similar information to give robots true autonomy beyond any artificial intelligence developed to date. Sound like science fiction? It's not.
By refining topologies and using new fluid technology, Moog's new peak sine drive controller increases available power without increasing controller volume.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
