Pulse Electronics Announces Catalog NFC Antennas


Selection includes ferrite-loaded, stamp, and wire-on-carrier NFC antennas

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Pulse Electronics Corporation (NYS: PULS) , a leading provider of electronic components, announces a new catalog selection of ferrite-loaded, stamp, and wire-on-carrier near field communication (NFC) antennas. These products are ideal for integration into point-of-sale terminals, security and access control panels, transportation payment devices, and consumer electronics. They enable superior data collection, data exchange, and authentication authorization applications as found in healthcare and other pairing/sharing applications. The NFC antennas allow for the wireless link between two devices, like a phone or security card; typically with a maximum distance of 100mm. The antennas operate at 13.56MHz and are meant for volumetric field strength efficiency rather than antenna gain like traditional antennas.

Pulse Electronics‘ catalog NFC antennas consist of three antenna families: the W3579 and W3580 ferrite-loaded antennas for tight-space integration in close proximity to metallic devices such as PCBs, batteries, and displays; the W7001 small stamp antenna for small-space applications; and the W7002 wire-on-carrier antenna, targeted to payment applications with mechanical features optimized to fit a display or keypad inside the coil. These NFC products can be integrated into a system for card emulation mode, peer-to-peer mode, or reader/writer mode depending on the needs of the end-application itself.

“Pulse is the first company to offer a variety of NFC antenna solutions targeted for multiple applications from payments to pairing, through distribution channels,” said Aaron Logan, technical product manager, Pulse Electronics Wireless Devices Antenna Division. “Pulse is the only antenna manufacturer, along with our distributors, to offer a selection of catalog, off-the-shelf parts. Pulse engineers recognized that no single NFC antenna meets every implementation need, and have risen to the mechanical challenges by creating a variety of solutions to meet those needs.”

The antennas, when integrated appropriately, can meet ISO/IEC 14443 A B (MIFARE), ISO/IEC 18092, JIS X 6319-4/FeliCa, NFCIP-1/ECMA 3-40, and EMVCo requirements. All parts have a lead time of 6-8 weeks after receipt of order. More information can be found on the data sheet for each antenna or on the Pulse Electronics website at http://www.pulseelectronics.com/CatalogNFCAntennas.

Pulse Electronics Introduces Press-fit RJ45 Connectors with Integrated Magnetics


Eliminates wave soldering for a more efficient and cost-effective assembly process

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Pulse Electronics Corporation (NYS: PULS) , a leading provider of electronic components, introduces press-fit RJ45 integrated connector modules (ICMs) with magnetics. Using a press-fit pin (also called compliant or interference pin) provides a pressure contact with the printed circuit board (PCB), eliminating the need for wave soldering. The JPB 2×6 1000BASE-T PoE ICM and JT5 2xN 10GBASE-T ICM families are available as press-fit ICMs. Eliminating the wave soldering process saves time, increasing throughput and reducing costs, and allows for rework of the ICM without damaging the customer’s PCB.

“A typical production process consists of a component placement process and then soldering the components to the PCB. When you have both surface mount and through-hole components you have to process the PCB through both a reflow solder process for the SMT components and a wave soldering process for the through-hole components. The ICM is often the only through-hole component on the PCB, so wave soldering is necessary specifically for that part,” explained Jonas Miller, product line manager, Pulse Electronics. “Pulse Electronics designed these press-fit pin ICMs in response to market demand to remove wave soldering from the PCB manufacturing process. In addition, having press-fit technology enables the manufacturer to rework the ICM more easily, without damaging the PCB.”

Pulse Electronics‘ press-fit RJ45 ICMs meet IEEE 802.3 specifications. Detailed process specifications are available to assist customers with the insertion and extraction of these press-fit pin ICMs. The ICMs are packaged in trays. Prices start at approximately $5.00/port. High volume discounts are available. Lead time is 8 to 10 weeks. Information and datasheets on Pulse Electronics‘ 2×6 press-fit ICMs are at http://productfinder.pulseeng.com/product/JPB-0010NL or for more information visit, http://www.pulseelectronics.com/Press-fitRJ45.

Pulse Electronics’ EP13 Plus DC/DC Transformer Platform Provides >25% More Power Handling Capability


Catalog Series of Transformer Topologies in Industry Standard Package

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Pulse Electronics Corporation (NYS: PULS) , a leading provider of electronic components, announces its new EP13 Plus platform that delivers 25% more power handling capability than the industry standard EP13 platform in the same PCB footprint. This catalog series of 12 isolation transformers is designed for multiple input voltage ranges (9-57v and 33-57v) and can provide six different output voltage combinations from 3.3v to 24v. The transformers are used in DC/DC power supplies for Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+), datacom, telecom, and industrial applications.

Pulse’s EP13 Plus platform incorporates two innovative features that advance the wire-wound transformer technology. The first innovation is the use of a modified core with an increased cross-sectional area to reduce the number of turns necessary for a given output voltage, or to increase the output power by better utilization of the available winding window. The second innovation is a new bobbin lead shape which allows for an increased number of lead wire terminations. This helps avoid damaging the leads or causing solder bridges to adjacent leads during IR reflow. Optimization of the magnetic core combined with the modified lead design of the winding termination give the EP13 Plus 25% more power throughput and lower winding resistance.

Pulse Electronics‘ EP13 Plus series transformers are designed for either active clamp forward (PA3856.XXXNL) or continuous mode flyback (PA3855.XXXNL) topologies and offer 24 different output voltage and power combinations. The transformers come in an industry standard package of 14.0(h)x17.7(l) mm. The EP13 Plus series is used in a wide variety of electronic applications including wireless base stations, IP phones, security cameras, automation and test equipment, and networking gear.

“The innovative design approach for the new Pulse EP13 Plus platform offers designers the flexibility to create a more efficient design (less power loss) at the same power as the industry platform, or the ability to increase system power density or lower thermal loads in existing designs. In a market where power density and system efficiency are crucial, this is a significant improvement,” said John Gallagher, staff field applications engineer, Pulse Electronics.

Pulse Electronics’ DSL Splitter Module with Lightning and Power Fault Protection


6-pin module is interchangeable for all global telecom standards

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Pulse Electronics Corporation (NYS: PULS) , a leading provider of electronic components, introduces a central office (CO) VDSL2 splitter module with optional lightning and power fault protection. The module is designed with 6 pins, instead of the standard 4 pins. This enables a protective device, such as a sidactor, to be added on the board underneath the module and eliminates the need for a separate protection rack card, freeing up space for an extra multichannel card or to increase airflow for additional cooling. The pin location allows a fast-acting secondary over-voltage protector to be used to protect the filter from surge effects while maintaining good VDSL2 performance. The location may also help to meet ITU and Telcordia coordination requirements with any installed primary protectors, enabling selection of suitable secondary protectors to accommodate different countries and markets.

“Adding surge protection is becoming increasingly necessary as protection standards evolve, and being able to reduce the splitter module size is important as component density increases,” explained Ronan Kelly, Pulse Electronics broadband product manager. “Pulse’s new CO splitter module offers the customer a product to address these needs.”

Pulse Electronics‘ B8841PNL CO module is part of a family of products that have the same 6 pin footprint, so modules can be interchanged to address a specific target market without changing the rack cabinet connectivity. This pin configuration accommodates all global standards and is well-suited for use in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. It meets requirements for ETSI 600 ohm ADSL to VDSL2 applications and China YD/T 1187-2006 ADSL 600 ohms. The modules are used on a rack card in a DSLAM or within roadside cabinets to combine or split the POTS from DSL data.

The modules are sold in trays. Lead-time is typically 8-10 weeks. The part is production released and available for orders. More information on Pulse’s B8841PNL product family can be found on datasheet http://productfinder.pulseeng.com/products/datasheets/B1005.pdf located on the Pulse website at http://www.pulseelectronics.com/B8841PNL.
