Custom Design Lowers Total Installed Solenoid Cost
Much of the cost of a component part of a high volume manufactured assembly may be found in the time required for installation-unless special design measures have been taken. Here is a new example of how Bicron has designed a solenoid specifically for a computer manufacturer's laptop lock assembly. The solenoid body, plunger design, wire connection, and electrical characteristics were...

Bicron Solenoid with a Body Size of Only 0.1 Cubic Inch For Tough Jobs
A DEPENDABLE FORCE IN A SMALL PACKAGE is just what was needed to put mechanical energy into a small locking device. With a body size of only 0.4 x 0.4 x 0.6 , the solenoid shown was specially designed to require minimum space to satisfy our customer's design requirements. The sturdy D - frame gives it maximum stability throughout many years of operation. Bicron Electronic's solenoid DESIGNS FOR...

IGBT Drive Transformers enable reliable motor control.
Operating from 500-3,000 V and up to 350 VA and 500 kHz, IGBT power control transformers may be used where high power and harsh electrical environments coincide. Products are custom-designed using circuit simulation and magnetic modeling techniques to control parasitics such as dc winding resistance, winding capacitance, and leakage inductance. Corona values are less than 10 pC @ 3.3 kV, HIPOT at...
