Built for automotive applications, the A5 Series Relay comes with SPST N.O., SPST N.C. or SPDT contact arrangement. SPST N.O. arrangements have contact ratings of 40A at 14V dc, 20A at 120V ac and 15A at 28V dc, and both the SPST N.C. and the SPDT arrangements offer 30A at 14V dc, 20A at 12V ac and 15A at 28V dc. The series has a maximum switching power of 360W, a maximum switching voltage of 750V dc, 380V ac and a maximum switching current of 40A. The relays resist shock, vibration and high temperatures, able to carry a continuous current of 20 amps in 125C. They have both sealed American and European PC layout styles, with CE certification for the European version. They have a mechanical life of 10M cycles, and an electronic life of about 100,000 cycles. At sea level, they offer minimum coil-to-contact dielectric strength of 750V rms and contact-to-contact dielectric strength of 500V rms.
Inforbix is leveraging its CAD and product data access technology to power up a free iPad app that lets mobile users search and access engineering data.
Unlike his friends in engineering programs, blogger Jon Titus had little need for calculus except in a few of his college physical-chemistry labs and classes.
In the wake of the Chevy Volt fire investigations, sales are down, and General Motors' (GM) CEO Dan Akerson is blaming the downturn on a spate of bad publicity.
Thanks to embedded electronics, medical devices are getting smaller and smarter than ever. Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are now able to call physicians. MRIs, CT scanners, and ultrasound machines are gaining mobility. And the venerable Band-Aid may soon be able to detect illnesses ranging from fevers to heart arrhythmias. On February 21, join Design News senior editor Charles Murray for a wide-ranging discussion, "Embedded Angles for Medical Products," which will explore the latest developments in medical electronics. The discussion will examine advances in medical device technology and offer an inside look at the embedded electronics behind it.
