ELECTRONICS: Tech9 Corp.’s 1A buck-boost dc to dc power converter accepts input ranging from 6 to 70V while output remains constant. The power converter can be ordered in 3V, 5V, 9V, 12V and 15V output models. Other outputs are available on request. These power converters are designed for use in mobile and portable devices in industrial, commercial, medical, military and process control as well as telephone applications. The new power converter offers + 2 percent output voltage tolerance with excellent line and load rejection characteristics (60DB typical). The units are short circuit proof. The power converters can be operated in ambient temperatures as high as 85C. Extended input range down to 4V is available. Extended temperature range is also available.
The company offers power converters with other voltage outputs down to 1.5V dc and other amperage ratings, including 0.5A, 1.5A and 3A and special orders. The power converters are available with or without enclosures, and the enclosures are available with or without flanges. The unit measures 2.13 x 3.27 x 1.21 inches. Add 1 inch for unit with flanges. Distributor/rep inquiries are invited.
New disc magnet motors fit into the design trend of stepping up to closed loop performance while maintaining the cost advantage of stepper motor technology.
At the Design News webinar on June 27, learn all about aluminum extrusion: designing the right shape so it costs the least, is simplest to manufacture, and best fits the application's structural requirements.
A new battery design, which replaces lithium with abundant and low-cost elemental sulfur, is still in its nascent stages but shows real promise for giving batteries more energy potential.
The push to achieving more intelligent, integrated manufacturing is putting a strong focus on networking and connectivity as key enabling technologies.

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
