Halo Electronics: Smart connectivity for your most demanding designs
New VIA series of isolation amplifiers from Vishay: precise, compact, and robust isolation.
At RC Microelectrónica, we are committed to always providing solutions that drive your developments forward. That’s why today we want to introduce you in detail to one of our most established and highly specialized partners in connectivity: HALO Electronics.
In electronics, connectivity is not optional: it’s what enables your ideas to operate, communicate, and respond precisely. From magnetic transformers to integrated RJ45 connectors, HALO ensures that reliable, robust, and efficient connection your systems need.
Connectivity and protection, at the core of your design
HALO has been developing essential components for decades in sectors such as telecommunications, energy, industry, and instrumentation. Although not always visible, their solutions are at the heart of critical equipment, enabling the transfer of data and power with integrity and security. Their technical range includes:
Magnetics for telecom: transformers for T1/E1, CEPT, T3, DS3, E3, STS, STM, or low-speed digital lines. They offer modules like Tele-Pro™ with surge protection and integrated RJ45 Tele-Jack™ connectors designed for space-constrained environments.
LAN (Ethernet) solutions: discrete transformers and integrated RJ45 connectors (FastJacks) that comply with IEEE 802.3, including ultra-compact versions like the GEmini series and integrated solutions such as TNT for 10BASE2 networks.
Transformers for PoE and H-Bridge or Push/Pull topologies, with guaranteed isolation and optimized footprint.
Isolated DC/DC converters: SMD versions of 1W and 2W, featuring 1.5KV or 3KV isolation, short-circuit protection, and optimized efficiency for compact designs.
Digital audio transformers: high interference immunity (CMR), wide bandwidth (10 kHz to 200 MHz), and miniaturized packaging.
Power inductors: both shielded and unshielded versions for energy management.
RJ45 connectors: available in lower tab, upper tab, or vertical versions, with various gold plating options for enhanced conductivity.
RF transformers: broadband (0.04–500 MHz), ideal for radio frequency and advanced communications.
Their latest innovation: compact DC/DC converters with galvanic isolation
Modern electronic designs tend to be increasingly compact, but technical demands remain high: there is still a need to isolate signals, minimize interference, and protect sensitive components. To meet this challenge, HALO Electronics is launching a new range of unregulated DC/DC converters with SMD packaging, designed for projects where space is limited but reliability is non-negotiable. This family offers power ratings of 1W and 2W with secure galvanic isolation (up to 1.5 kVDC standard and 3 kVDC in the 1W version), all housed in an ultra-compact package measuring just 12.8 × 10.44 × 7.25 mm. Its low-profile five-pin design allows for direct replacement in existing layouts without the need for redesign, reducing validation times and costs.
They support common input and output voltages in power electronics (from 3.3 to 12 V), and dual versions with symmetrical outputs (+/-5 V, +/-12 V) as well as expansions up to 24 V will be available soon.
They include continuous short-circuit protection and are certified according to international standards (UL 94 V-0 and UL 62368), making them suitable for demanding industrial environments, even with operating temperatures between -40 °C and +85 °C.
They are especially recommended for applications such as isolated power supplies for sensors, RS-485/CAN interfaces, embedded electronics, industrial IoT equipment, or control systems with multiple voltage domains.
