Power Integrations unveils space-saving, ultra-slim auxiliary PSU reference designs for NVIDIA Kyber 800 VDC AI data centre
Power Integrations, the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-effcient power conversion, has introduced two new ultra-slim, compact auxiliary power supply reference designs for 800 VDC AI data centres. The single-output, 15 W design is only 30 mm by 30 mm with a 7 mm profle, while the isolated, six-rail, 35 W design is only 80 mm by 60 mm with an 8 mm profle. Optimised specifcally for the NVIDIA Kyber liquid-cooled, blade-rack architecture, these ultracompact solutions free up approximately 30 percent space on densely packed main power distribution boards (PDBs) with an estimated 30 per cent reduction in the BOM count—streamlining design and improving overall reliability. These designs are highly effcient with at least 88 per cent effciency across line and load.
DSCBM series mixed-density Combo-D connectors now available through Powell Electronics
Positronic’s SCBM connector series, a highperformance mixed-density D-sub connector family engineered for demanding spacefight and harsh-environment applications, can now be sourced through Powell Electronics. The SCBM series is part of Positronic’s proven Combo-D product line and enables engineers to combine signal, power, coaxial, high-voltage and fber optic contacts within a single connector platform. Designed to meet stringent aerospace and defense requirements, the SCBM Series delivers rugged mechanical performance, high current capability, and low-outgassing materials suitable for mission-critical systems. The connector family conforms to applicable material, dimensional, and performance requirements of GSFC S-311-P4, GSFC S-311-P10, and DSCC specifcation 85039, while also meeting ASTM E-595 outgassing standards for spacefight applications.
Pickering launches Test System Architect
Pickering Interfaces, the leading supplier of modular signal switching and simulation solutions for use in electronic test and verifcation, has announced Test System Architect, a free online graphical toolset designed to simplify signal path design for electronic test systems, allowing engineers to design, confgure, and visualise complete test architectures before deployment.
“Pickering is already recognised as the value leader in PXI. But hardware typically represents less than half of the total cost of an automated test system,” explains Kyle Voosen, Product Marketing Manager at Pickering. “The greater challenge for our customers lies in the engineering, integration, and assembly effort required to deliver those systems into production. Test System Architect directly addresses this challenge by making the signal path explicit and architecturally visible earlier in the design process, resulting in faster system development, fewer integration errors, and a more predictable deployment schedule.”

anisense, the leader in highaccuracy current sense transducers for demanding applications, is introducing its new compact MBC4000I fuxgate AC/DC current transducer offering high-precision current measurements of up to 4000A and more. The device delivers measurement performance levels up to 10 times higher than conventional Hall-effect transducer solutions currently on the market. Built on Danisense’s stable closed-loop fuxgate technology, the product provides exceptional accuracy below 0.05% over the temperature range from -20°C up to +85°C, ultra-low sensitivity drift and reliable current output performance. Featuring a large Ø121mm aperture for busbar applications, a 1:5000 primary-to-secondary ratio, and minimal offset drift over temperature, the transducer is ideal for demanding high-current measurement environments.
Pickering guide highlights the benefts of reed relays for EV and chargepoint testing
Pickering Electronics has published an application guide for engineers taking high voltage (HV) measurements and performing insulation testing in electric vehicles (EVs) and charging points. The guide explains why high-isolation reed relays are ideal for use in instrumentation and test equipment intended for measuring high voltages and verifying the integrity of electrical insulation in EVs and charging points.
The electrifcation of drivetrains in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids (HEVs and PHEVs) is made possible by the presence of high voltage batteries, battery management systems (BMS), power inverters and powerful motors. All these high voltage components are ‘foating’, meaning that none of their power terminals are earthed to chassis. Accordingly, all HV components and high current-carrying cables must be heavily insulated. The design and manufacture of EVs – as well as the associated charging points – therefore require specialist equipment and procedures to ensure safety. www.pickeringrelay.com/contact/
Panasonic Industry launches new fbre amplifer with practical features
Panasonic Industry Europe is introducing the new FX-250 digital fbre sensor designed to support users in their daily working routines as effectively as possible.
The FX-250 offers a large, high-contrast OLED display providing excellent readability and shows not only numerical values, but also fully written text. This makes menu navigation intuitive and signifcantly reduces the risk of operating errors, especially for less experienced users or teams working in shifts. As a result, settings can be checked and adjusted quickly even from a distance, helping reduce set-up time and machine downtime.
A particularly practical feature is the new two-step limit teaching, which no longer requires manual adjustment of the emitted light. By simply pressing a button twice, the sensor reliably learns the switching threshold—even under challenging lighting conditions such as refections or incident light saturation.
