• Designing to beat the heat
  also has better surface aesthetics than its die-cast counterpart. The compliant nature of thermally conductive elastomers lets them serve as gaskets, shock absorbers, and interface materials. They have low thermal resistance, and come in electrically conductive or insulative grades in a wide range...
• Conductivity Level Switches
  Conductivity switches are solid-state devices that detect the presence or absence of electrically conductive liquids. They do so by sending a small current through their probe tip. Current flowing between the sensor and some reference (often the metal tank holding the liquid) is compared inside...
• 10 tips to better heater efficiency
  is the most frequent cause of heater failure. As heaters expand and contract during thermal cycling, they often draw in organic or conductive materials through the area near the terminal ends. This can lead to arcing failure between individual heater windings, or between heater windings...
• Keeping cool with carbon
  materials. Composites make race-car bodies, tennis rackets, aircraft parts, and masts for yachts light and superstrong. We've also known that regular carbon fiber is electrically and thermally conductive, which makes it perfect for some automotive applications and perfectly wrong for others. Not as many...
• Thermoplastics cure design ills
  . Electrically conductive modifiers added to thermoplastics permanently protect against static accumulation and electrostatic discharge (ESD). Conductive thermoplastics continuously dissipate static rather than let it accumulate and discharge rapidly. ESD can damage sensitive electronic components...
• Keeping cool with carbon
  long been aware of the sexy applications of carbon-fiber composite materials. Composites make race-car bodies, tennis rackets, aircraft parts, and masts for yachts light and superstrong. We've also known that regular carbon fiber is electrically and thermally conductive, which makes it perfect...
• Sensor Sense: Magnetic inductive flowmeters
  , and the speed that the wire moves through the field. Magnetic inductive flowmeters work on the same principles. An electrically conductive fluid flowing through a magnetic field acts just like the moving wire. A voltage is generated through the fluid at right angles to the magnetic field. The amount...
• Keeping coax safe
  Special protectors dissipate potentially dangerous transient currents in coaxial cable. When voltages on the center conductor exceed a specific value, the gas in the gas-discharge tube ionizes to discharge the buildup to ground. Even though the quarter-wave stub is electrically grounded...
• No-static plastics
  build-up. This is referred to as triboelectric generation and is the most common form of uncontrolled transfer of static charge. However, an electrically conductive path to ground will harmlessly dissipate charge from the material. Electrical charge also dissipates into the air, a phenomena...
• That's a Wrap
  A creative wrapping technique builds structurally stable and well-insulated coils for a new fusion reactor. A challenge faced by Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) researchers was to devise both electrical isolation and structural support for conductive coils that will see 2 kV when...
