Avionics and Space
"Zero Defects": Absolute reliability under the most extreme conditions in avionics and space
Selected products for the avionics and space industry
The Space Fuse
SCHURTER is the first Swiss company ever to have with MGA-S fuse a component included in ESA's QPL (Qualified Parts List).
HCSF: Space fuse for high power applications
After the MGA-S, the HCSF is the second certified fuse for space applications. The SMD 3220 thin film fuse is designed for high power applications and ESCC QPL listed.
MGA-A: no tin whiskers, no tin dendrites
SCHURTER extends its successful MGA / MGA-S line of 1206 dimension SMD ceramic fuses with an aviation version that is tin whisker free and completely dispenses with leaded coating.
UMT-W: suitable as a Fail Safe Device
A pulse-proof SMD ceramic fuse with super time-lag tripping characteristics, which is particularly suitable as a fail-safe device in demanding applications.
SMD solid-state fuse for the most demanding applications
SCHURTER's new High Current Fuse, HCF, is an extremely robust SMD fuse, designed using solid-state / thin-film technology. The HCF is especially suited for use in particularly harsh applications.FRM-A and DRM-A for demanding requirements
Very small, light and robust: These are increasingly important requirements of the Avionics
industry for the components of their suppliers. SCHURTER addresses this need with the FRM-A and DRM-A fuse holder/fuse combination.
An optimised unit for demanding requirements:
Designed and optimised for Avionics applications
FRM-A: Ultra-compact, light and made for
harsh environmental conditionsDRM-A: Whisker-free ceramic fuse with fast
tripping characteristics
Common Mode Choke DKCV-1
SCHURTER is launching a new, vertically mountable choke family for PCBs with very high inductances. The DKCV-1 current-compensated chokes are designed for currents from 0.5 to 10 A. Thanks to their nanocrystalline cores, the new chokes have very high inductances with particularly compact dimensions.
Powerful applications in the energy sector are becoming increasingly compact. This compact design combined with high energy efficiency leads to an increase in electromagnetic interference in modern electronic devices. Powerful filter elements are required to suppress this interference. Due to the compact dimensions, the integration of the filter elements on printed circuit boards is an ideal solution. The new DKCV-1 choke series is particularly suitable for applications that require high attenuation.
High performance in a compact design
The nanocrystalline cores enable very high currents with extremely compact dimensions. Thanks to the vertical choke arrangement, they also require very little space on the PCB. All variants of the DKCV-1 family have the same footprint on the PCB.
Applications
The new chokes are ideal for demanding applications that require high inductance with compact dimensions. These include switching power supplies, industrial, medical, laboratory and test equipment. The chokes are suitable for currents up to 10 A and voltages up to 300 VAC or 450 VDC and have ENEC, cUR and UR approvals.
For higher power applications, the DKIV-1 series of chokes is available with rated currents up to 50A.
FPBB RAIL DIN rail filter
Filters for DIN rail mounting have been known for some time. It is important to achieve maximum filter performance with minimal installation space. Since the filter for EMC protection of the controller is located very close to the power supply of the device or system, it also makes sense to integrate overcurrent and overvoltage protection here.
The FPBB RAIL was developed precisely to meet these requirements and thus represents a unique concept that combines the expertise of EMC protection with that of overcurrent protection. This makes it possible, to use this filter in an optimal way for space-saving installation in the control cabinet thanks to its compact design.
Absolute reliability under extreme conditions
For obvious reasons, specifications in Space & Avionics are significantly higher than the regular international standards. SCHURTER provides zero defect solutions to meet the highly specific requirements of electronic systems used on aircraft, satellites and spacecraft.
«Too important to fail» is the guiding principle in the manufacturing of components for the use in the area of Space & Avionics. SCHURTER is proud to meet standards such as defined in the ESA Internal Requirement Definitions or in Military Standards (e.g. MIL, NF, NNO, GAM T1) and Aviation Standards. As an experienced partner of the European Space Agency (ESA) we focus on the safety for power systems and develop customer specific fuse designs for over-current protection under extreme conditions. A proven example is the SCHURTER MGA-S, a surface mount fuse for space application.
SCHURTER solutions guarantee you long-term stability and highest reliability under extreme environmental conditions. They have a extreme operation temperature range and come into use where components have to work perfectly even under severe mechanical stress (e.g. vibration, shock), fast pressure increases or cosmic radiation.
The certification of our products, the manufacturing and the logistics are audited regularly. A product lifetime of up to 30 years, a guaranteed and documented life cycle as well as lifelong information and service add to the trustworthiness of SCHURTER solutions.
Safety is our business
Qualified supplier of high-tech solutions
The cooperation between the ESA and SCHURTER has created two outstanding products with the MGA-S and the HCSF. As a result, to date SCHURTER has been the sole European supplier of qualified fuses by the ESA. Accordingly, SCHURTER has provided an impressive demonstration of the necessary technologies during both development and production. We are proud of the products that have been qualified by ESA and are ready to provide competent solutions to similar circuit protection challenges identified in the area of aerospace, and other applications requiring specialized circuit protection.
We are also using our broad-based expertise and the current aerospace technologies for our customers in the industrial sector, for example, when carrying out other specialized qualification processes. We welcome the opportunity to find the optimal made-by-SCHURTER solution together with you.
SCHURTER is a leading innovator and manufacturer of passive and active electronic components ensuring the clean and safe supply of power and ease of use of equipment.
