All semiconductors, including LEDs, generate heat as a by-product of their operation. The more power the component consumes, the more heat has to be dissipated. If appropriate thermal management is in place, the component will not exceed its maximum operating temperature. If the provisions for heat dissipation are inadequate, overheating will occur. In this case, […]
Thermally conductive greases and pastes have high thermal conductivity coefficients and are used to optimize the electrical conductivity of surfaces. Typical areas of application are the manufacture, assembly and repair of printed circuit boards, PCBs, sensors and other electronic and microelectronic components.
Partial translucency of a material (from lat. lux for light). Although translucent materials allow light to pass through, no objects can be seen behind them, as is the case with frosted glass, for example. Often confused with transparency (complete view or image transparency). The reciprocal of translucency is opacity (opacity).
Tunnel lighting is an elongated, tunnel-like variant of dome lighting. It is ideal for illuminating cylindrical objects made of metallic and shiny materials. Tunnel lighting from Büchner can be found here.
A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is a power supply with a battery that can supply connected devices for a certain period of time during a power failure. – AC UPS: An AC UPS supplies an AC voltage at the output to buffer the AC mains voltages. – DC UPS: A DC UPS supplies a direct […]
Abbreviation for ultraviolet light or radiation. Electromagnetic radiation in the optical frequency range with shorter wavelengths than the light perceptible to the human eye. “Ultraviolet” means “beyond violet”, the color stimulus with the shortest visible wavelength. Beyond UV radiation comes X-rays. The UV spectrum ranges from 380 to 100 nm (380 nm is the limit […]
For single-phase power supplies, a wide-range input is an input that covers the nominal voltages of 100-240 VAC without automatic or manual switching.
