MALVERN, PA — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH), a leader in electronic components, unveiled its latest innovation this week: a series of low profile, space-grade planar transformers designed for power conversion applications. The new SGTPL-2516 series offers significant advancements over traditional planar transformers in terms of cost, size, and power density, meeting the stringent MIL-STD-981 class S requirements.
Tailored for use in switch mode power supplies along with DC/DC and AC/DC converters, these devices are engineered to withstand the most demanding environments. They are capable of operating across a frequency range from 80 kHz to 300 kHz and sustain high temperature up to +130 °C. Their robust design ensures reliability under extreme conditions, featuring molded windings that provide high dielectric withstand voltage up to 1500 VAC and minimal leakage inductance.
The groundbreaking aspect of the SGTPL-2516 series lies in its unique winding structure, which achieves a higher copper fill factor, leading to smaller package sizes while enhancing efficiency and power density. This technological leap allows for customization without the need for up-front tooling charges, enabling specific adjustments to voltage, inductance, and power requirements to cater to diverse design needs.
The introduction of these transformers marks a pivotal moment for the aerospace and defense sectors, where equipment must operate flawlessly in harsh environments. The SGTPL-2516’s blend of reduced size, increased efficiency, and customization capability makes it ideally suited for next-generation satellites, spacecraft, and military hardware, potentially revolutionizing power conversion technology in space and beyond.
By offering a combination of durability, performance, and adaptability, Vishay’s latest offering not only meets current industry standards but sets new benchmarks for what’s possible in electronic component design for critical applications. This development signifies a step forward in supporting more compact, efficient, and reliable systems in the world’s most challenging operational theaters.
