AERO INDIA BOOTH CHANGE
Due to the enthusiasm of American suppliers for this exhibition, the Department of Commerce has secured a larger space on the other side of the Sikorsky exhibit at Hall J 1.11 We hope to see all our Indian friends there Sep 7 through 10.

Canyon Engineering Pump for Piaggio
At Allied International, we pride ourselves in being problem solvers for our customers. Recently our sales representative in Italy, Maurizio Klinger, asked us to help out Piaggio who were looking for a new supplier for the emergency landing gear pump for the Avanti. We contacted Canyon Engineering Products who had a virtual identical part originally designed for the MD95 (Boeing 717). Pictured here is one of the first production pumps which just arrived at Allied International and will be shortly on its way to Italy.

From the Allied International Archives, here is an other Allied News.
Still going strong for Allied are the Chatham Rectifiers now Champion Aerospace and
Southwest Products now RBC
as well as Ground Support Equipment.

ALLIED HISTORY
As the year comes to an end we reflect on our origins. According to a corporate brochure published in the 1960s our company was established in 1930 as "China Airmotive Co,, Fed, Inc. USA" by A L Pattersonn for Far East export of aircraft and equipment with headquarters in Shanghai. We moved to Hong Kong in 1937. The name was changed to Allied International Co. Fed Inc. USA in New York in 1937. The present name was adopted in 1951. In 1960, Allied merged with A E Ulmann and Associates ,European Marketing Specialists, and A E Ulmann was retained as President.

ALLIED JOINS NDIA
We are pleased to announce that we have been accepted for membership in NDIA The National Defense Industrial Association. membership in this body will enhance the visibility of our Honeywell LMB high reliability Mil/Aero fans and blowers which are have been selected by US defense contractors such as Northrop Grumman, Goodrich, BAe Systems, ACME, Boeing, and FLIR.

AEROMART
We will be participating in the Aeromart November 29 and 30 in Toulouse.

Eurofard Catalogs Now On Line
In preparation for their attendance at Electronica in Munich, Eurofard has up graded their web site to allow download of all their catalogs of capacitors and filters.

AVIATION INDUSTRY EXPO

We will be exhibiting at the Aviation Industry Expo Tuesday March 20 through Thursday March 22, 2007 at the Orlando County Convention Center, Orlando FL. We hope to see you at our booth 973 on the center aisle dividing the AS3 from the GSE. We will be displaying Tronair GSE, Honeywell LMB high reliabity fans and blowers, Eurofarad high reliability capcitors and of course our own acoustic media and fabrications such as the cabin air silencer for the Lear 45.

Eurofarad
ACTUAL SUCCESS STORY
EUROFARAD has been selected for specific Hold-Up Capacitor Design at EADS Defense Electronics.
This 220uf 600V Capacitor (size 125X90X32.5mm) is under test in the Power Supply Unit that feeds subsytems of the A400M Military Transport Aircraft.
This optimized design was selected based on price, weight/cost and reliability evaluation.
The capacitor incorporates Eurofarad's industry leading plastic film dielectric noted for:
* Small package size
* Self healing properties
* Low ESR and low inductance
* Light weight
* No variation of capacitance versus applied voltage and versus temperature
* High RMS current & Voltage gradient

SIC-SAFCO NEWS
The Radial solder range of Aluminum Electrolytic capacitors, manufactured in France by SIC-SAFCO and distributed in the North America by Allied International, ALSIC145 -55 +145°C, 10 - 100V, is enlarged with rated voltage 50V and ripple currents increased.

RoHS

European directive 2002/95/EC

Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances
in electrical and electronic equipment

Every product with restriction use (mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated flame retardants) is not present in SIC-SAFCO capacitors, except lead contained in solder coating of some capacitor ranges, manufactured before January 1st 2006 :

- Screw terminals capacitors (FELSIC ranges) are completely in accordance with the directive.

- New radial non cylindrical range CUBISIC is completely in accordance with the directive.

- Axial capacitors (PRORELSIC, PROMISIC, RELSIC, SICAL) are in accordance with the directive since January 2000. At this date solder coating was changed into pure tin coating.

- Radial capacitors with snap-in pins (SNAPSIC range) are in accordance with the directive since September 1st2005 (Ø 25, 35 and 40) or since January 1st 2006 (Ø 22, 30, 45). Pins are coated with pure tin coating.

- Radial capacitors with straight pins (CI-FRS range) or with wires (ALSIC ranges) are in accordance with the directive since September 1st 2005. Terminals are coated with pure tin coating.

We advise to follow pure tin soldering recommendations : temperature bath 260 – 265°C, 2 s, >= 2 mm from capacitor body without flux, according to IEC 60 068-2-54 (test Ta method 1).

Article codes are unchanged. But capacitors where lead is prescribed, have now special code number.

NBC BLOWER
Honeywell LMB pioneered a very specific design with one main blower and a scavenge blower, both driven by a single motor.
The main blower is used to blow air within the crew compartment whereas the scavenge one cleans the NBC (cyclone) filter. In order to avoid "dirty" air coming from the scavenge fan to the main blower, there is a magnetic coupling between the motor and the scavenge fan which is totally "sealed".

New Eurofarad Plastic Film Cap
EUROFARAD is extremely proud to include a new component in its family of capacitors for high frequency switch mode power supplies, the PM06. With values up to 220MF / 50V for example, this component is definitely at the top of the technology of film capacitors.



The PM06 features the remarkable characteristics of the range of EUROFARAD film capacitors for switch mode power supplies.



In operation:

- self healing: possibility to withstand some accidental peak of voltages;

- low ESR and inductance;

- wide range of operating frequencies;

- high RMS current and voltage gradient;

- high stability of the value of the capacitance versus temperature change (range of temperature is -65/+125°C);

- value of the capacitance does not change versus applied voltage;



From the design point of view:

- component is not polarized;

- light weight;

- small size;

- resistance to harsh environment.



The PM06 is definitely a component of choice for all new designs of SMPS.

Allied International is at your service for any more information you may need regarding this new component – or other components of EUROFARAD range!

SHUTTLE
Here's a picture Steve Skelley, Engineering Manager took from in front of the Acoustic Division factory. A little under one minute into the launch, you can see the flame and smoke trail in the middle of the picture. The space center is about 45 miles from there.
