Editor's Choice Polycase Introduces New Size of XR Series ABS Enclosures Polycase has extended their XR Series ABS plastic enclosures to include a convenient new size. The 5.75 by 3.75 by 1.97 inch XR-35 enclosures are suitable for a variety of electronics applications. Like many Polycase project boxes, the XR Series is available with or without surface-mounting flanges. The flanges feature round holes for permanent mounting and keyholes for temporary mounting. The XR Series also feature a screw-on cover with a recessed center, perfect for membrane keypads or graphic overlays. Molded from black flame-retardant ABS plastic, the enclosures are flame rated to UL94-5VA. PC board mounting bosses are standard in the base of the enclosures. VPT Adds Industrial Level VHR Series DC-DC Converter Line VPT, Inc. (VPT) has released the VHR series of industrial level DC-DC converters and EMI filters. Available in models ranging from 5 to 100 watts, the VHR series of DC-DC converters provides customers with VPT's renowned levels of product reliability for powering non-flight-critical programs in military, avionics, and unmanned systems as well as manufacturing equipment and controls. "Engineers aren't looking for a 'one converter fits all' solution, so VPT supplies a wide range of high reliability standard products that best match specific application requirements," said VP of sales and marketing, Monty Pyle. "Just as space programs utilize converters designed for rigid MIL specs and radiation exposure, programs on the other end of the spectrum are aligned to solutions, like the VHR Series, that are cost effective and highly reliable without requiring the extensive environmental screening that is necessary for flight-critical programs." The VHR series design leverages VPT's decades of experience in proven military, aerospace and defense solutions. For budget-driven programs, the series offers a wide input voltage range for nominal 28 volt input, an average 85 percent efficiency and low input and output ripple for reliable operational success, even in rugged environments. Designed to operate at full-load over a wide temperature range of -40°C to 100°C, the VHR Series also offers fixed frequency operation, soft-start, magnetic feedback, inhibit and current-limit protection. Additionally, the VHR series includes companion EMI filters ranging from 1 to 20 amps. 4 Fall 2016 * www.ElectronicsProtectionMagazine.com Volume 14, Issue 3 Editor & Publisher, David Webster Director of Content Nick Depperschmidt Senior Editor, Shannon Given Manager of Administration & Customer Service, Marsha Grillo Fulfillment Services & Circulation Marc Vang, Ross Webster Advertising & Sales Robert Schaudt, Sue Hannebrink, Scott Webster Production Jullie Hammond, Production Manager ELECTRONICS PROTECTION (ISSN #1544-7812) is a publication of Webcom Communications Corp.
