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.
The Department of Defense and the Office of Naval Research are funding the design of Web applications that will help protect and police coastal waters.
This year, when Indy teams search for a competitive edge on the track, they're going to have to dig deeper into the mechanical aspects of the car than ever before in the history of the race.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
