    WS-MITV Micro Switches from Wurth Elektronik

    WS-MITV Micro Switches

    WS-MITV is designed to be a coffee machine’s safety guard. It is as if a “mechanical sensor” is detecting each step of brewing coffee, making sure parts are well attached and positioned so as not to damage the machine.

    For example:

    • If the portafilter is not precisely attached to the group head, the process might not continue
    • If the bean hopper is not accurately placed, the beans won’t grind
    • If the brew group is not well positioned, the brewing won’t start

    WE-STAR-GAP Snap Ferrite from Wurth Elektronik

    WE-STAR-GAP Snap Ferrite

    The STAR-GAP snap ferrite series from Würth Elektronik is the world-first split case ferrite with "defined air-gap". This ensures a low magnetic saturation of the material even in DC current applications. A pre-fixing and cable protection system allowing for quick and easy assembly.

    Especially for connected appliances, EMC have to be analysed also in the GHz area. These ferrite sleeves are ideal for RF applications and are suitable for high-speed data lines as well as power lines. Their Nickel-Zinc RF material effectively suppresses EMC effects caused by pumps, actuators or grinder motors.
