We are often asked if we stock C7 Polarised power cables or connectors.While we do not stock these we do have help and advise to find a solution that may suit your requirements. What is a Polarised C7 connector? Sometimes called C7P, it is a 2 Pole, asymmetrical connector, with one side squared. Unpolarized C7 connectors can be inserted into the polarized inlets; however, doing so might be a safety risk if the device is designed for polarized power. The polarized version of the C7 connector is designed to ensure that the live and neutral conductors are connected correctly, enhancing safety. Learn...

Schottky diodes are a popular choice in a wide range of applications, from power supplies to solar panels, thanks to their unique combination of low forward voltage drop, fast switching speeds, and high efficiency. Choosing the right Schottky diode is crucial for optimal performance and reliability. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the key factors to consider when selecting the perfect Schottky diode for your specific application. Voltage Rating (VR): The first step in choosing the right Schottky diode is determining the maximum voltage the diode will be exposed to in your circuit. Select a diode with a...
