FURTHER DEVELOPMENT 

THE BÜRKLIN 

ELEKTRONIK 

ONLINE SHOP 

CONVINCES 

WITH HIGH 

SPEED! 

By: CAREN JAEGER 

Head of eCommerce 

AFTER THE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED MILESTONE IN 2022 - 

WWW.BUERKLIN.COM SHINES IN NEW SPLENDOUR - BÜRKLIN 

ELEKTRONIK IS PURSUING ITS ROADMAP FOR FURTHER 

OPTIMISATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE ONLINE SHOP. 

The ongoing development of the 

online shop will be continued. The 

year 2023 is at the top of our agenda, 

so that we - dear customers - can 

meet your requirements. The well 

thought-out and comprehensive 

roadmap is based on our strategic 

goals and aims, among other things, 

to present the „best-in-class“ online 

shop. 

Thanks to the performance-oriented 

infrastructure and shop development, 

our online shop impresses 

with a very high loading speed! Our 

customers can find the products they 

are looking for very quickly, receive 

all relevant product information 

within a few milliseconds, and can 

complete their orders quickly and 

securely with just a few clicks. 

In order to adequately support our 

customers in design development 

and component production, we are 

offering a first new feature: For all 

our products, our customers can 

see at a glance for which items 

schematic symbols, PCB footprints, 

and 3D models are available for 

download. Our customers and 

interested parties can easily drag 

these into their own CAD system 

and process them there. 

Already in the first half of 2023, we 

want to comprehensively expand 

the customer self-service functions. 

The expansion of our eProcurement 

offering will also pave our way to 

becoming a digital distributor. And 

since the use of intelligent search 

is a decisive business value and 

competitive advantage for us, our 

search experts will also be working 

on the development of a new search 

engine. We are also making great 

strides in this area. 

As you can see - there is a lot going 

on at Bürklin Elektronik - the go-live 

of the new online shop was just the 

beginning of our transformation 

to a European/international digital 

distributor. To keep up to date with

POSSIBILITIES FOR REDUCING ENERGY DEMAND 

ENERGY 

MANAGEMENT 

How can technical components 

support energy 

saving? And: Which 

products are convincing 

in this respect? The most 

important information at 

a glance. 

Efficient energy management 

systems are increasingly 

in demand both in 

companies and in industry. 

No wonder - after all, 

companies are coming 

under increasing financial 

pressure due to rising 

electricity and heating 

costs. However, current 

projections show that there 

is considerable potential 

for savings in this area. 

In industry, for example, 

energy requirements could 

be reduced by up to 25 

percent with the help of 

adapted measures. For 

companies, experts are 

talking about up to 30 per 

cent. 

Reducing energy consumption 

and thus saving 

costs - that is the goal. 

But what measures do 

consumers need to take in 

order to achieve mediumand 

long-term success? 

We present ways in which 

companies can basically 

determine and control 

their needs, as well as 

technical components that 

support savings measures. 

ENERGY MANAGEMENT 

SYSTEMS: QUESTIONING 

THE STATUS QUO 

In order to sustainably 

reduce energy demand, 

the first step is to collect 

reliable data. This 

shows how much energy 

is actually generated (e.g. 

by photovoltaics or wind 

turbines) and consumed, 

and in which areas there is 

potential for savings. 

With the help of a standard-compliant 

energy 

management system in 

accordance with ISO 50001, 

comprehensive energy 

data collection is possible. 

At the same time, the key 

figures required for control 

and certification can be determined 

and the development 

of energy consumption 

can be assessed. The 

visualisation of electricity 

flows, consumption and 

development over a 

defined period of time provides 

a clear overview of 

the status quo and current 

developments. The success 

of individual measures 

to reduce consumption 

can be easily assigned and 

read in this way. Between 

10 and 25 per cent of the 

energy consumption can 

be saved with the help of 

efficient energy management 

in medium-sized and 

large companies - clearly 

an important tool in the 

demand reduction.

LOAD MANAGEMENT: 

CONTROLLING ENERGY 

FLOWS 

In addition to intelligent 

monitoring, flexible and 

automatable control is 

also necessary to reduce 

energy demand. With intelligent 

load management, 

PV systems, charging 

stations, battery storage 

as well as heating and air 

conditioning systems can 

be networked and controlled 

efficiently and 

cost-optimised. Power 

peaks can thus be 

reduced, increasing 

energy efficency. 

TOPIC OF THE FUTURE: 

RENEWABLE ENERGY 

Especially in the fields of 

photovoltaics and e-mobility, 

energy meters, 

and energy management 

systems are of particular 

importance. Photovoltaic 

systems, charging stations, 

as well as wind and 

hydroelectric power plants 

can be optimally monitored 

and controlled by means of 

efficient energy management 

and on the basis of 

load systems. In the future, 

this approach will play an 

increasingly important 

role in both businesses 

and companies in order 

to reduce electricity and 

heating costs. There is 

sufficient development 

potential in this field. The 

share of renewable energies 

for heat generation in 

industry is currently at a 

manageable five percent. 

In the trade, commerce, 

and services sector, the 

figure is around ten 

percent. 

ENERGY HARVESTING: 

“HARVESTING“ 

ELECTRICITY 

The use of components 

with energy harvesting 

technology is already 

showing short- and medium-term 

success. With the 

help of special technology, 

small amounts of electrical 

energy can be obtained 

from external sources, 

such as ambient light, 

temperature gradients, 

vibrations, or electromagnetic 

radiation. This energy 

is continuously “harvested“ 

at a low level. With the 

help of ultra-low-power 

technologies, it is thus 

possible to operate various 

devices autonomously.

HERE! 

For example, the stored 

energy is used to supply 

wireless, electronic devices 

with low power consumption, 

such as microprocessors 

or devices in network 

communication. And the 

principle of energy harvesting 

is also used in components 

such as wireless 

switches and sensors, 

reducing not only energy 

consumption but also the 

associated costs.

BOURNS 

SWITCHING & PROTECTION 

SOLUTIONS FOR POWER 

APPLICATIONS 

Power conversion, isolation, and 

accurate current measurement 

along with overvoltage/overcurrent 

circuit protection are necessary 

elements in a power supply design. 

Not only are these component 

solutions needed to help enhance 

reliability, but they are also required 

for regulatory compliance 

to help increase safety and reduce 

downtime in these applications. 

To assist designers, Bourns offers 

advanced magnetics, resistive 

devices, and protection solutions 

that are typically required throughout 

a switch mode power supply 

(SMPS) that is used in many energy 

applications. 

IGBTs 

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors 

(IGBTs) are particularly well-suited 

to implement Uninterruptable Power 

Supplies (UPS) that provide power 

to AC line-connected equipment if 

the AC mains voltage experiences a 

failure. Between the time a power 

failure occurs and the back-up diesel 

generator kicks in, the UPS supplies 

the AC current for a few minutes. 

Instead of using MOSFETs, IGBTs 

allow the designer to specify a simplified 

and smaller heatsink because 

IGBTs have lower power loss and 

higher thermal conductivity. For this 

reason, Bourns ® IGBTs are optimal 

solutions for UPS functional blocks 

in data server installations, network 

and communication hub facilities, 

and for powering industrial manufacturing 

plant robotic operations 

and their communication networks. 

IGBTs are also beneficial in static 

UPS systems that are used in data 

centers to monitor the operations’ 

supply power and maintain battery 

back-up autonomy for power continuity. 

IGBTs are advantageous 

because they are smaller, have a 

lighter weight, and offer higher 

efficiency in static UPS systems. 

They also help achieve lower bill of 

material (BOM) costs, which typically 

results in fewer components to fail, 

higher backup operational reliability, 

and a higher Mean Time Between 

Failure (MTBF). 

IsoMOV PROTECTORS 

The groundbreaking lineup of 

Bourns ® IsoMOV hybrid protection 

components combines the best 

breakthrough surge performance of 

its patented EdgMOV technology 

with an integrated Gas Discharge 

Tube (GDT) isolation structure. This 

enables IsoMOV protectors to 

provide high reliability and long life 

protection, including in certain harsh 

environments. The IsoMOV Series 

is an upgrade to nearly any MOV in 

power applications where premium 

performance and/or space savings 

are valued. The extended temperature 

range, low leakage, and superb 

energy handling density are especially 

advantageous to industrial 

surges. Plus, their unique and 

graceful end-of-life failure mode 

quickly and cleanly blows the 

line fuse, never leaving equipment 

unprotected and eliminating 

the need for any indicator 

circuitry. The IsoMOV 

protector family includes three 

unique series of devices; Model 

IsoM3, IsoM5, and IsoM8. With 

nominal surge ratings of 3 kA, 5 kA, 

and 8 kA, these revolutionary protectors 

offer performance usually found 

in larger MOV devices.

POWrFuse HIGH-POWER FUSES 

Bourns ® POWrFuse High-Power 

Fuses are industrial fuse links 

designed to UL 248, IEC 60269, and 

ISO 8820 standards helping designs 

withstand extreme ambient 

temperatures, high-cycling, and 

low level fault current conditions. 

POWrFuse High-Power Fuses are 

rated at extremely high interrupting 

currents, providing reliable overcurrent 

and short-circuit protection, 

and are housed in various mounting 

configurations to accommodate 

customers’ design requirements. 

These products are ideal for EV/ 

HEV, battery management systems, 

power supplies, DC-DC convertsers, 

telecom systems, photovoltaic 

power systems, industrial controllers, 

and charging stations. Along 

with Bourns’ overvoltage protection

POWER TVS DIODES 

Power protection components add 

cost to a design until a fault event 

proves their FOR worth. FURTHER If inadequate 

protection INFORMATION: 

is selected, the system 

may still be CLICK exposed to and could 

incur considerable damage. AC and 

HERE! 

DC power supplies used in exposed 

applications often require protection 

against potentially damaging power 

line surges and indirect lightning 

strikes. Avoiding damage by limiting 

the peak surge voltage to an acceptable 

level without short circuiting 

the line for an extended period of 

time is crucial to minimizing the 

downtime of critical systems and 

avoiding costly maintenance calls. 

Bourns’ advanced PTVS diodes are 

offered in an industry-first DFN 

package and deliver many features 

that make these devices optimal and 

effective protection solutions for 

multiple types of power and signallevel 

circuits. 

The Bourns ® PTVS1-xxxC-H family 

of high current bidirectional TVS 

diodes is designed to protect DC 

or PoE powered systems such as 

small cell or surveillance cameras 

that can be exposed to high surge 

events such as induced lightning or 

inductive power switching, while the 

PTVS2-xxxC-H family is designed for 

use in high power DC bus clamping 

application. These devices offer 

bidirectional port protection, feature 

1kA and 2kA ,8/20 μs surge capabilities 

(respectively) and are available 

with standoff voltage ratings of 22 

to 86 V.

maintaining a holistic perspective on energy. Janitza goes far beyond 

pure energy measurement and combines the aspects of energy management, 

power quality, and residual current monitoring into a holistic measurement 

solution in a single system environment. 

Power monitoring increases the 

transparency of power consumption 

and energy costs at all measurement 

levels. Critical deviations in power 

quality and residual currents (RCM), 

which load or even put systems at 

risk, can also be detected using 

fine-granular measurements. A 

major challenge today is consolidating 

data from all areas of a company. 

Standards and interfaces from the 

machine level to ERP systems and 

building management systems must 

be coordinated with each other. The 

UMG 801 features the appropriate 

communication interfaces as well 

as an option for direct data transmission 

via OPC UA. As a result, users 

benefit both from secure and futureoriented 

data transmission and from 

simple, cost-effective integration into 

higher-level systems. 

The UMG 801 basic unit features 

8 current measurement channels 

with 1/5 A inputs and 4 multifunction 

channels, which are optionally 

configurable as RCM, temperature 

measurement channels, or additional 

current measurement channels. 

Not only can power measurement 

data of several measurement groups 

be recorded with high measurement 

accuracy (V: 0.2 % / A: 0.2 % / kWh: 

class 0.2), but extensive voltage 

parameters can also be measured. 

The integrated measurement data 

memory with 4 GB offers the necessary 

capacity. The device features 2 

Ethernet interfaces that can be used 

simultaneously, as well as an RS485 

interface. Comprehensive protocols 

and services (e.g. OPC UA, Modbus) 

are available. In combination with the 

GridVis ® software, it offers extensive 

options for the visualizing, analyzing, 

and documenting power measurement 

data. The device is equipped 

with a high-quality color graphic 

display with intuitive menu navigation 

for easy operation and displaying 

measured values on site. 

MODULAR DESIGN 

The 800-CT8-A current measurement 

modules allow the basic unit 

to be extended to up to 92 current 

measurement channels. Up to 10 

modules can be integrated via a 

click system, without external 

cabling between the basic unit and 

the current measurement modules. 

An integrated bus system supplies 

power and transmits data. In addition, 

remote measurement points 

can be connected with the 800-CON 

transfer module. In this case, the 

cable length can be up to 100 m. 

Easy integration into higher-level 

systems and expansion with compact 

modules make the new UMG 

801 a future-proof and an attractive, 

cost-effective all-in-one solution for 

power monitoring in buildings and 

data centers, as well as in industry 

and in power supply. 

A key factor for success for modern 

companies is transparency across 

all data levels. The acquisition and 

consolidation of data from all areas 

of the company is necessary for purposes 

such as optimizing planning 

for production processes, establishing 

safety measures to protect 

systems and machinery, and to 

save costs. 

With its modular expansion capability, 

the UMG 801 is optimally suited 

to cover the complete range of needs 

in an energy management system 

(according to ISO 50001). The compact 

Janitza UMG 801 power meter 

can be extended in modules to up to 

92 current measurement channels 

and offers various communication 

interfaces for direct connection to 

higher-level systems.

POWERFUL 

COMPONENTS 

FOR RENEWABLE 

ENERGIES 

The share of renewable energies 

is still increasing very rapidly. The 

reasons for this are obvious: on 

the one hand, it is about reducing 

CO2 emissions, on the other hand, 

it is about conserving valuable resources. 

Photovoltaics and wind 

energy are the two most important 

pillars of renewable energies. 

The further expansion of photovoltaics 

is a central core element of 

the energy transition. In addition, the 

need to balance supply and demand 

will result in increasing demand for 

storage systems (ESS), both in the 

domestic sector and on an industrial 

scale. These systems require inverters 

to convert the direct current generated 

by the photovoltaic system 

into alternating current so that the 

energy can be fed into the grid or 

into one’s own household. Inverters 

require passive components with the 

highest reliability and resilience with 

long operating times. 

DC link capacitors are key components 

for photovoltaic inverters. 

For this purpose, in addition to 

the proven aluminum electrolytic

capacitors with snap-in terminals, 

TDK now offers the ModCap HF, 

a modular capacitor concept for 

DC link applications that is able 

to work at very high switching 

frequencies. 

The six newly developed power 

capacitors of the B25647A series 

are available for rated voltages 

from 900 V to 1600 V and cover a 

capacitance spectrum from 640 µF 

to 1850 µF. Depending on the type, 

the rated currents range from 160 A 

to 210 A with a maximum permitted 

hot spot temperature of 90 °C. 

Thanks to the ultra-low ESL value 

of only 8 nH and to its flat ESR vs 

Freq evolution, that allows minimizing 

losses even at high frequency, 

ModCap HF is particularly well 

suited for fast-switching SiC-based 

inverters. The very low self-inductance 

prevents voltage overshooting 

on the power semiconductors when 

the current is shut off. As a result, 

generally, no snubber capacitors 

are needed.

TDK‘s ModCap HF capacitors offer 

extremely low ESL and are therefore 

very well suited for fast switching 

SiC-based semiconductors. 

In contrast to conventional cylindrical 

designs, the ModCap HF types 

are cubic in design with dimensions 

of 205 x 90 x 170 mm. Thanks to this 

design, the capacitors fit perfectly to 

the new generation of power modules 

improving compactness and 

maximizing power density. These 

capacitors are also suitable for wind 

power.

FOR EV FAST 

CHARGER 

With the global commitment to reduce 

CO2 emissions, e-mobility is increasingly 

gaining momentum. Only 

with a dense charging infrastructure 

can the accustomed level of mobility 

be guaranteed. DC fast-charging 

technology is an important element, 

providing drivers with enough energy 

for long distances in a short charging 

time, especially on long journeys. In 

the future, DC charging technology 

will also be available for private 

charging, on the one hand, to use 

the driver‘s own solar power, and 

on the other hand, to use the car as 

a storage medium. The efficiency of 

the charging station is an important 

performance feature. TDK offers 

components with minimal power 

dissipation for this purpose.

WAGO 

THE EASY WAY TO ACHIEVE 

MID-COMPLIANT ENERGY 

MEASUREMENT 

“KNOWLEDGE IS POWER” – THIS MAXIM APPLIES MORE THAN EVER WHERE ENERGY CONSUMPTION 

IS CONCERNED. RISING COSTS AND POTENTIAL CO2 SAVINGS ARE MAKING THE PROSPECT OF 

GREATER ENERGY EFFICIENCY MORE AND MORE ATTRACTIVE – BUT TO OPTIMIZE YOUR CONSUMP- 

TION, YOU NEED PRECISE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT IT, WHICH REQUIRES COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY 

MEASUREMENT. 

IT ALL BEGINS 

WITH MEASUREMENT. 

WAGO’s 4-quadrant energy meters 

(MID) make energy measurement 

particularly easy and accurate, and 

are also certified for billing-related 

energy measurement throughout 

Europe thanks to compliance with 

the MID Directive 2014/32/EU. These 

energy meters boast numerous 

features that make it even easier 

for users to quickly and reliably 

determine their energy input and 

consumption. In addition to the 

values for active and reactive energy, 

all the meters also record the mains 

frequency, as well as current, voltage, 

and power for all phases. This 

means the three-phase energy 

meters can also be used for three 

single-phase applications. 

STEP 1: 

FINDING THE RIGHT DEVICE 

Three versions of the energy meters 

are available. The direct meters with 

a width of 4 HP (72 mm) are available 

in two connection variants. The 

universal connection variants (4PU) 

have input and output terminals on 

the bottom of the device; in contrast, 

the devices marked 4PS have their 

input terminal on the bottom and 

the output terminals on the top. This 

allows the devices fit perfectly into 

existing systems too, and the selection 

can be based on the cable 

routing. The type 2CT transformer 

meters are only 2 HP (35 mm) wide, 

so they save space on the DIN-rail 

right from the control cabinet 

planning stage. 

Need more? If the energy consumption 

meters are insufficient for direct 

connection with currents up to 65 A 

on a typical three-phase power 

network, flexible transformer meters 

can be used. Depending on the 

transformer ratio, these can also be 

used for very high currents. 

STEP 2: 

FAST, SAFE INSTALLATION – 

WITH PROVEN CONNECTION 

TECHNOLOGY FROM WAGO 

The lever connection technology with 

push-in technology allows fast toolfree 

device connection. Solid conductors 

and conductors with ferrules can 

be plugged in directly; fine-stranded 

conductors are connected without 

tools by opening the lever. Another 

advantage of CAGE CLAMP ® connection 

technology is safe operation at 

runtime. While screw connections 

can loosen over time, this technology 

ensures a permanent contact, 

which keeps the contact points from 

overheating, for example. This can be 

particularly relevant in a high-vibration 

machine environment.

DAZU! 

STEP 3: 

STRAIGHTFORWARD DEVICE 

COMMISSIONING 

The free WAGO Energy Meter Configurator 

app (available in German 

and English) provides commissioning 

support. It can be used to set all 

the required parameters intuitively 

via a smartphone or tablet over a 

Bluetooth ® connection.

STEP 4: 

READING OUT VALUES 

FOR FURTHER 

INFORMATION: 

CLICK 

HERE! 

There are several ways to read out 

the values during operation: via the 

display, the app, or connected energy 

management systems. The energy 

meters’ large illuminated displays 

show users all important values at 

a glance; touch-sensitive operating 

elements allow them to operate the 

device directly on site as well. The 

WAGO Energy Meter Configurator 

app also displays the current values, 

which can also be saved in the app as 

a CSV report and sent via standard 

messenger services or email. All 

energy meters also have three integrated 

communication interfaces: 

M-Bus (Meter-Bus) FOR FURTHER and Modbus ® 

INFORMATION: 

interfaces and two S0 pulse outputs. 

This makes CLICK 

the energy meters true 

communication HERE! professionals and 

allows them to be evaluated remotely 

and via integration into an energy 

management system as well. 

Comprehensive energy measurement 

is important in many areas: 

Whether you’re measuring energy for 

EV charging, determining the energy 

consumption of individual production 

cells, or billing the bakery in a shopping 

center (shop-in-shop), WAGO’s 

energy meters (MID) are always the

RAFI 

THE NEXT GENERATION 

OF TACTILE SWITCHES 

MICON 5 S / SL 

VERSATILE. DURABLE. 

Microswitch with a big effect: Tactile 

switches of the MICON 5 family 

convince with an extraordinary tactile 

feed-back. The built-in gold contacts 

guarantee reliable key operation. 

With unchanged external dimensions 

of only 5.1 mm x 6.4 mm and 

a mounting height of 3.85 mm, the 

new generation of short-travel 

keyswitches achieves protection 

class IP54 or IPX7 thanks to an 

optimised sealing system. Thanks 

to the increased IP protection class, 

the MICON 5 S (sealed) short-travel 

keyswitches can be used on printed 

circuit boards that are made robust 

against environmental influences or 

contamination by means of potting, 

conformal coating, or nanocoating. 

In combination with the 

extensive range of accessories, 

the MICON 5 becomes a universal 

solution for almost all applications. 

Various lengths, designs, and versions 

with lighting options are available. 

The MICON 5 S can be reliably 

used with various actuating forces 

from 1.5 - 8 N up to one million 

switching cycles and is available 

both as an SMT and a THT version. 

MICON 5 SL 

The new MICON 5 SL series is the 

answer to applications in which the 

short-travel keyswitches are actuated 

particularly frequently. With a 

service life of up to ten million actuation 

cycles, the MICON 5 SL (sealed & 

extended lifetime) is ideal for use in 

joysticks or other operating devices 

that are subject to particularly high 

stresses. The SL variants are available 

in SMT and with two different 

actuation forces. High-quality gold 

contacts and small housing dimensions 

of just 5.1 mm x 6.4 mm and 

3.85 mm height ensure high switching 

reliability with minimal space 

requirements. In addition, the new 

MICON 5 SL is characterised by a 

temperature resistance of -40 °C 

to +125 °C and, due to the IP54 

protection class resp. IPX7 predestined 

for potting, conformal coating, 

and nano-coating. 

MICON 5 SAFETY 

COMPACT. DUAL CHANNEL. SAFE. 

The MICON 5 tactile switches are 

now also available in the MICON 5 

SAFETY version with a dual channel 

MEHR contact system. With a base of just 

5.1 DAZU! x 6.4 mm and a height of 3.85 

mm, the MICON 5 SAFETY tactile 

switches have the same dimensions 

as the MICON 5, but integrate two 

isolated NC and NO contacts. These 

features enable a particularly economical 

and space saving design 

for applications that are developed 

according to industry-specific functional 

safety standards – such as: 

- IEC 61508 Functional safety 

- IEC 62061 Safety of machinery 

- IEC 60601 Medical equipment 

- ISO 26262 Road vehicles

RACON ST 

VARIABLE. ROBUST. 

CONFORMAL COATING 

DIP COATING 

The RACON ST fits into your operating 

system as if it were tailor-made. 

The product family offers the right 

tactile switch for every project: The 

RACON 8 ST and RACON 12 ST series 

differ in their dimensions and operating 

forces. The tactile switches are 

available with dimensions of 12 mm 

x 12 mm or 8.4 mm x 8.4 mm and 

as SMT or THT variants. For different 

demands on tactile feedback, 

the tactile switches are available in 

variants for operating forces from 

2.5 N to 9.7 N. 

Like the MICON 5 S, the RACON ST 

(sealed & extended temperature) 

is also sealed and can be used on 

printed circuit boards that are made 

robust against environmental influences 

or contamination by potting, 

dip coating, or conformal coating. 

Thanks to its extreme temperature 

resistance from -40 °C to +125 °C, 

the RACON ST is ideal for automotive 

applications or similar outdoor 

applications. A tight, robust, and 

gold-based contact system makes 

it additionally resistant and switchsafe. 

The result: operation is absolutely 

reliable for at least one million 

operating cycles. 

MEDIAROBUST ELECTRONIC 

In order to become robust against 

environmental influences such as 

condensation or contamination, 

there are various ways to protect the 

printed circuit board. In this context, 

our customers and also we at RAFI 

often rely on potting, dip coating, or 

conformal coating of entire circuit 

board assemblies. There were always 

challenges with the previous tactile 

switches, because they were not 

designed for the application of such 

circuit board protection methods. We 

have optimized this and offer a new 

generation of MICONs and RACONs 

that are equipped for such applications. 

In conformal coating, a distinction 

is made between dip coating and 

selective coating with a spray head. 

With selective coating, only critical 

components and contacts can be 

painted, thus saving costs by using 

less material. Painting protects 

against condensation or contamination 

and also provides ESD protection. 

In the case of MICON and 

RACON, the flexible pressure piece 

should be left out during coating, as 

otherwise paint particles can flake 

off when the button is subsequently 

actuated. 

POTTING 

In potting, the printed circuit board 

is partially or completely filled with a 

medium and offers not only excellent 

protection in constant humidity but 

also mechanical protection in case of 

vibration and improved heat dissipation. 

This can significantly extend the 

lifetime of the electronics. The new 

generation MICONs and RACONs 

(sealed) can now be completely 

enclosed up to the defined potting 

height without hesitation and continue 

to function reliably thereafter. 

Dip coating is usually applied in an 

immersion process in which the 

assembled circuit board is immersed 

in a basin. The coating material has 

the task of penetrating into every 

corner of the assembly in order to 

provide the best possible protection 

for the circuit board. A thin layer 

of just 400 nm is sufficient here to 

reliably protect the electronics from 

malfunctions and moisture. For the 

tactile switches, on the other hand, 

it is a great challenge to resist this 

coating – but MICON as well as 

RACON are ideally suited for exactly 

this purpose. 

AVAILABILITY 

Both the new MICON 5 S/SL/SAFETY 

and the RACON 8/12 ST tactile 

switches will be available in series 

in the second quarter of 2023. If you 

would like to receive samples of the 

different variants in advance, you can 

already submit sample requests now.

slope and module inclination during the measurement, 

installation, or adjustment of a system. Whether working 

on a roof system or a large installation, the handy IRR1- 

SOL measuring device should be in the tool bag of every 

solar installer and technician. 

USE THE IRR1-SOL FOR: 

Planning and measuring photovoltaic systems 

The solar irradiation is determined taking into account 

the shading in order to determine the expected energy 

production at the respective installation site. It is measured 

in full sun hours, the number of hours per day in 

which 1,000 watts are generated per square metre of 

the photovoltaic system. Location, time of day, season, 

and weather conditions affect the full sun hours. Use the 

Fluke IRR1-SOL to determine the actual solar irradiance 

(W/m²) and shading at the mounting location to establish 

reference values. 

Measurements 

After installing the system, make sure it is working as 

intended by measuring the electrical characteristics and 

the actual output power of the modules. The output of 

a photovoltaic system is calculated from on its current/ 

voltage curve (I-V curve). Use the IRR1-SOL irradiance 

meter to determine the solar irradiance required to 

calculate the I-V curve of the output power. 

Comparison and diagnosis 

Even when installed correctly, a photovoltaic system 

may not produce the expected electrical output. To get 

the expected output power, the system must receive the 

right amount of energy from irradiation to generate the 

DC voltage to feed into the inverters. 

The meter has slim pliers that allow you to access cables 

in tight junction boxes. The test leads are designed 

for work up to 1,500 V DC and are specified according to 

CAT III 1,500 V. 

For AC measurements, the supplied iFlex flexible current 

sensor gives you excellent access to cables in confined 

spaces. It can be routed through extremely small 

spaces and delivers precise measurement results.
