Heilind Electronics has recently added Molex USB Type-C shielded I/O connectors and cable assemblies to its stock. The Type-C connectors offer a “more compact design” with “greater PCB savings, while allowing high-frequency mating in data, consumer, automotive, and industrial I/O applications,” according to Heilind. Heilind also said it’s “Type-C receptacles have a tongued … [Read more...]
Industry’s First Portable Measurement Equipment to Improve Thermal Efficiency
SANYO DENKI has recently developed and launched the first portable measuring equipment that measures the system impedance and operating airflow of devices. The San Ace Airflow Tester claims to “improve the thermal efficiency of a device” by “measuring the system impedance and operating airflow of devices” according to Sanyo Denki. It is compact and lightweight, and has the … [Read more...]
Software Update Leads to Device Failure by Overheating
(April 29, 2016) The new Nextfit Robin, an Android-based smartphone, experienced a major cooling malfunction after a recent software update which resulted in the phones overheating. The device normally heats up a bit when performing everyday tasks, and the update was supposed to improve its cooling process, but when users downloaded it and restarted their devices, they “failed … [Read more...]
Graphene Nanoflakes Better Dissipates Electronics’ Heat
(April 29, 2016) Recently, a team of researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a more efficient approach to cooling electronics using graphene nanoflake-based film. According to E&T, the team performed “experiments in which they managed to increase the efficiency of heat transfer by 76 per cent” – the kind of results that suggest … [Read more...]
BIG Thermal Test for the JWST Test Model
(April 22nd, 2016) The James Webb Space Telescope had an “observatory core” test model twin of itself constructed for the biggest thermal test Goddard mechanical integration technician, Chris Matthews, has ever had. Matthews’ team of technicians put together the model, according to Phys.org, which will “stand in for the real thing in an upcoming test at NASA's Goddard Space … [Read more...]
