An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release AC/DC power converters for medical applications from Bear Power Supplies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Bear's compact and rugged BP Series encapsulated AC/DC power converters are available for purchase online, simplifying OEM evaluation for commercial, industrial and medical applications. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Load board that assesses cooling systems from Elma Electronic: "Elma UK, a manufacturer of high-performance backplanes, has announced a new 6U VPX Load Board in a conduction-cooled format, to help test a system's cooling capabilities and to locate its hotspots.".
In December 2010, we covered the news from XP Power - take a look at AC/DC power supplies suit harsh environments which says: "XP Power has unveiled the ECC100 series 100W single-output, baseplate-cooled AC/DC power supplies targeted at outdoor applications such as wireless communications, lighting and information displays.".
Take a look also at the news release from Datasound Laboratories, ARM9-based compact, robust flat-panel PCs, as well as Ericsson DC/DC converter for radio applications from Ericsson Power Modules, and Connectors target space-constrained applications from FC Lane Electronics .
