As far as history goes, the field of electronics cooling does not have a very long past. A rather quick look through my personal reference material that is strictly geared towards cooling electronics had at the earliest some US Navy documents from the 1950s [1]. Comparing the solution techniques available today to those available then shows that we have both much better tools … [Read more...]
New Capacitors with Low Insertion Height
TDK-EPC has developed a wide range of EPCOS MKP and MKT film capacitors with low insertion heights. The new capacitors with a lead spacing of 37.5 mm feature insertion heights of only 15 or 19 mm. These components are designed for rated voltages of between 63 and 2000 V DC or 250 to 400 V AC. Their capacitance ranges from 0.1 to 82 µF. Depending on type and technology (MKT or … [Read more...]
Precision High Voltage Modules
Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corporation’s new V6 high precision, cost-effective high voltage modules on a common platform include either AC or DC input, with analog or digital interface (RS232) capabilities. The V6 Series offers output voltages ranging from 500V to 30kV, and incorporates the high precision features of Spellman’s 600 Series (replacing the 602C, 603C, 605C … [Read more...]
Technical Brief: Design Considerations for High Performance Processor Liquid Cooled Cold Plates
The meteoric rise in cooling requirements of commercial computer products has been driven by an exponential increase in microprocessor performance over the last decade. The conventional way to cool microprocessors has been to utilize air to carry the heat away from the chip, and reject it to the ambient. Air cooled heat sinks are the most commonly used air-cooling devices with … [Read more...]
Thermal Modeling and Testing for LEDs and Luminaires
Mentor Graphics Corp. has introduced the T3Ster (“trister”) thermal transient tester for LEDs, board-level LED arrays and luminaires. Together with the company’s FloTHERM thermal simulation tool based on computational flow dynamics (CFD), lighting designers can model and improve heat transfer through the LED, printed circuit board (PCB) or luminaire system during design and … [Read more...]
