Five Technology Trends and How They Impact Design and Manufacturability
May 5, 2011 12:56 pm | by Screaming CircuitsIn days past, power components tended to be sized more or less in concert with their power dissipation capacity. The more current passing through, the bigger the device. Such components were also all designed for easy application of heat sinking. They generally had (and have) a big, flat, metal surface to directly mate with the heatsink.

Five Things You Should Know About 3D CAD Software
May 4, 2011 2:24 pm | by PTCYou may be spending most of your time making design changes instead of creating new designs, but with the right 3D CAD software, you can solve this problem–and quite a few others.
Enclosure Design Basics
May 4, 2011 2:07 pm | by ProtocaseWhether you design your enclosure from scratch or make use of one of our simple template-based designs, knowing the basics of enclosure design will make your work easier. In this whitepaper you will find information on some of the basic concepts of enclosure and sheet metal design.
How To Design Enclosures For Motherboard Based Systems
May 4, 2011 1:58 pm | by ProtocaseToday, engineers who design custom electronic devices often integrate standard-form factor motherboards into their systems in order to take advantage of the powerful computing capacity and reliability that these boards offer at a very reasonable price point. This paper covers the key elements of designing custom metal enclosures that are capable of accommodating ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards, and provides important details such as dimensions, mounting the boards, and how to access to I/O connectors.
Upgrading To Lithium-Ion From Lead Acid
May 4, 2011 1:48 pm | by Micro Power ElectronicsBoth the Lithium-ion (li-ion) and Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) battery markets are expected to grow over the next several years. Applications with high voltage and capacity requirements are adopting li-ion technology because of its many advantages - especially the high energy density, small size and low weight. Recent innovations in li-ion chemistry has made it extremely competitive in markets that are weight sensitive and inconvenienced by SLA’s need for frequent maintenance. This paper will outline the technical and business considerations involved in converting an existing product from SLA to li-ion.
Using Lithium Polymer Batteries In Portable Devices
May 3, 2011 1:25 pm | by MicroPower ElectronicsLithium polymer batteries have become common in single-cell consumer applications like cell phones and MP3 players, but industrial and commercial applications are now putting them to good use as well. The thin and custom-shaped cells are now used in large, complex packs. This white paper is an overview of the advantages, disadvantages and guidelines for using Lithium polymer based battery packs.
Motion Control Terminology
May 3, 2011 12:46 pm | by Servo2go.comA review of motion control terms and definitions.
Insert Material – Brass vs. Stainless Steel
May 3, 2011 12:38 pm | by SpirolAssemblies made of plastic or other soft materials often rely on threaded metal inserts to secure fasteners and reinforce joints. Though stainless steel may be appropriate for use in some applications, it is often unnecessary. Brass inserts can satisfy the majority of performance requirements while offering significant cost benefits.
