Electromagnetic compatibility is indispensable in today‘s products,
and EMC components are the key to ensuring it. This webinar presents
individual EMC solutions and shows how support with measurements works –
including on-site.
In this webinar the advantages of IGBT modules with integrated shunts
as an alternative to Hall Effect sensors will be introduced. The
attendee will learn why shunt modules enable a reduction of mechanical
components, inverter size, production effort and risks, which finally
leads to significant reductions in system costs of the inverter design.

MPD’s
new BK-57 surface mounting AA battery
contacts are an efficient and cost-effective way to add AA batteries to
a pcb. The
pair of contacts uses pressure to connect with one AA battery, and
multiples of
contacts can make a series or parallel circuit through the pcb for
groups of
batteries while providing excellent access for insertion and removal of
AA
batteries.
