Electrical & Power Electronic Systems

• Solenoids & Planar Transformers Planar Transformers: Power supplies have limited the minimum size that electronic systems can attain, relying as they do on large transformers with large ferrite cores and magnet wire windings. By their very design, planar transformers ease this limitation and allow designers to achieve the low profiles required for pc-board mounting in space-constrained applications. Planar transformers are so compact because they are made from copper leadframes and flat, continuous copper spirals instead of copper magnet wire wound around conventional ferrite cores. High Power Density High Current Capability Large Power Capacity High Efficiency Good Thermal Conduction Solenoids: A solenoid is simply a coil of wire connected to a DC or AC voltage source. It is just like an electromagnet, except the VEM solenoid line has been solving problems for over 40 years. VEM is expert at designing solenoid solutions for complex actuation requirements at Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and many other aerospace system manufacturers. VEM reputation is built on providing solenoid actuators that survive harsh environments and are reliable for years beyond normal expectations. Often, as the sole-source provider, VEM offers innovations and customer support found nowhere else. You get the advantage of VEM's best engineering at competitive prices.
