On December 31st, 2009 Sypris Test & Measurement (STM) acquired Davis Calibration, becoming the largest single-source calibration provider in North America. Their integrated operations are creating numerous advantages, including a more comprehensive service offering.

The very high impedance, multi-turn FerriShield ferrite from Leader Tech offers a massive amount of EMI suppression in a very small 1.25 x 1.23 x 1.25 inch package.  The bisected, snap-on design offers three pass-through openings for cables with a diameter up to .203” (5,8mm).

Portable designers continue to look for solutions that offer higher efficiency in smaller and thinner form factors. To meet this need, Fairchild Semiconductor offers a portfolio of high performance MicroFET MOSFETs packaged in an ultra-compact and thin footprint (1.6mm x 1.6mm x 0.55mm).

A leading supplier of thermal management materials, adhesives, coatings and encapsulants to the electronics, LED and solar industries has announced the availability of a new low modulus, high thermal conductivity adhesive.

The Automotive EMC Laboratory Recognition Program (AEMCLRP) was established in 1998 by the three major automobile manufacturers in the United States, Chrysler LLC (Chrysler), Ford Motor Company (Ford) and General Motors (GM). These companies formed a committee responsible for the definition, documentation and maintenance of a set of EMC tests that an accredited and recognized test laboratory may perform in order to determine the EMC characteristics of automotive components that are integrated in vehicles by the three manufacturers. Since 1998, the AEMCLRP requirements document has been reviewed several times, and revision 4 (with an addendum issued in May 2007), the most current revision, has been used for the past four years. Future revisions are to be expected, due to improvements identified during the assessment process, feedback of laboratories or changes in underlying EMC specifications.
