Mouser launches high-voltage technology site

Mouser Electronics has announced the launch of its High Voltage Components technology site. The site provides developers with the resources they need to learn about the latest advances in this technology segment.

Many applications have traditionally used 600 to 1500 V as the nominal operating voltage because these higher voltages allow a more efficient transmission of electrical power over long distances. When dealing with voltages of 600 V or higher, it’s important to consider the right use of design, construction and safety guidelines, including the proper spacing of electrical equipment, the use of more robust safety procedures and the proper use of the correct test procedures.

The technology section provides an easy-to-understand overview of this field, including how high voltage is defined differently depending on the applications field and the importance of designing with safety in mind. The articles section discusses important considerations when designing at high voltages, including design guidelines for optocoupler safety. The technical resources section lists videos and application notes that discuss device selection and application considerations for high-voltage designs.

The featured products section focuses on key products that speed and enhance high-voltage designs. Products include the ON Semiconductor 1200 V NGTB30N120L2WG IGBT, Vishay 600-650 V E series MOSFETs and the Phoenix Contact 1500 V Sunclix connectors.
