Applications & Case Studies: Ultrasonic Instrument
Ben Winstanley • September 11, 2019
Fitting Custom Connectors to Power Supplies
We approached a local manufacturer of an ultrasonic instrument, who had until then been sourcing off the shelf power supplies manufactured in China, albeit from a UK distributor. Their main issue was the need to fit a very small pitch ODU connector – as a result they had to use a very small gauge output cable, and even then the fitting of the connector was the main limiting factor in their production process.
We were able to offer an alternative power supply, which was the correct rating for their instrument, this removed the possibility of the power supply delivering more current under fault conditions than the cable could safely handle. However, the biggest benefit to the OEM was our ability to fit the connectors in house in a very efficient manner – meaning they saved cost, only dealt with one supplier, and crucially it freed up their labour to do what they did best – i.e. manufacture the instrument, while we supplied the completed PSU. This arrangement enabled an increase in production throughput, and was instrumental in allowing our customer to secure a large order on a short leadtime, which under the previous arrangement, they would not have had the time to do.

Switchmode Power Supplies vs Linear Power Supplies
The vast majority of low voltage external power supplies sold globally these days are switching (switchmode) units, as opposed to the original Linear technology, which is only considered appropriate for certain niche markets due to it’s inability to meet required efficiency standards.
In this article we will explore just some of the technical aspects & features and benefits of Switchmode topology vs Linear.
The micro USB connector has been the most common connector for plug top devices for the last few years, but as with everything the times are changing. This is where the Type-C USB has started to step in, with more and more pieces of tech coming with a Type-C charger rather than the old favourite. So the question is why? If the old micro USB isn’t broken then why ‘fix’ it?
The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking is a new UK product marking that will be used for goods being placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). It covers most goods which previously required the CE marking.
