EMC Radiated Emission Measurements at 1/3/5/10/30 Meters

 

INTRODUCTION There are two principal types of emission measurements in the world of electromagnetic compatibility, conducted emission and radiated emission. The conducted emission measurements are either a voltage-capacitive tap type of measurement (typically on a power line) or they are a current-clamp type of measurement (typically on a signal line). Radiated emission … [Read more...]

New Small Coupled Power Choke Released

 

WE-DPC HV (Double Power Choke High Voltage) is a magnetically shielded, SMD coupled power choke with two identical windings and a high isolation voltage of 1.5 kV. It is the smallest product of its type in the Würth Elektronik eiSos portfolio. With this power choke in a 5030 package, customers can attain a 40 percent lower DC resistance than products on the market. WE-DPC HV … [Read more...]

Troubleshooting Radiated Immunity for Medical Products – Case Study

 

Introduction Companies making medical products have much more stringent requirements now that the new IEC 60601-1-2 (Edition 4) became effective June 17, 2017. One of the many changes included increased radiated immunity requirements in several specific wireless and communications bands (Table 1). Highlights of all the changes are included in Interference Technology’s free … [Read more...]

New Heat Shrinkable Tubing Technology Introduced

 

Zeus PTFE/FEP Dual-Shrink® tubing is constructed with an exterior of heat shrinkable PTFE and an inner layer of FEP. The PTFE outer layer shrinks tightly over inserted parts while the FEP melts and flows into a solid or near-solid encapsulation. The fit is so tight it can withstand the most severe stresses involving pull or vibration. Dual-Shrink® tubing is designed to provide … [Read more...]
