The X0115ML is our first compact silicon control rectifier (SCR) for ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) and arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) that can withstand a surge peak off-state voltage of 750 V. Additionally, its small SOT23-3L package (2.75 mm x 3.10 mm) makes it the smallest thyristor on the market today. Engineers can thus gain significant space while providing a repetitive peak off-state voltage of 600 V for industrial applications. Moreover, its 1.1 mm creep age distance meets the UL 840 requirements for 120 V AC insulation without coating.

• Why design industrial GFCIs and AFCIs?
  • It’s a matter of life and death
  • It’s to prevent electrocution
  • It’s to prevent electrical fires
  • It’s to create smarter factories
• X0115ML and what to look for in the silicon control rectifier that will go in an industrial GFCI or AFCI?
  • Trigger Gate Current
  • Surge peak voltage
  • Package size and overall footprint

According to the 2021 US Bureau of Labor Statistics survey on fatal occupational injuries (the latest year on record), out of the 798 fatalities caused by exposure to harmful substances or environments, exposure to electricity is the second leading cause of death (152) after exposure to harmful substances (551). Put simply, electrocution is a real risk for plant workers and employees working in an industrial setting, especially if there’s water. The reason is that even a “small” current of 10 mA can cause a severe shock, and 50 mA can produce enough muscle contraction to stop the heart or induce respiratory distress.

To protect people, the US National Electrical Code started requiring GFCIs in residential installations and wrote new regulations in 2000 for high-voltage industrial settings (480 V to 600 V). Most are familiar with the traditional GFCI in circuit breakers. The system monitors the current at the hot and neutral lines to determine if the electricity going out of a socket goes back in. If both levels are equal, then all is well. If there’s an unbalance, the system assumes the electricity is going somewhere else, like through a person being electrocuted. In that event, the GFCI trips the circuit between the hot and neutral lines to interrupt the current flow.

On the other hand, AFCIs protect against electrical fires by monitoring arc forms and arcing amplitudes to detect dangerous conditions. Consequently, AFCIs are electronically more complex than GFCIs. An arc fault may result from loose or overheated wires or a current flowing through an unintended object. All these events will generate a high-intensity and massive surge in temperature, which, if left unchecked, will start an electrical fire. Corrosion or liquids can also cause an arc fault, which can have severe consequences in an industrial setting.

Beyond the national regulations that govern such products, makers are also designing smarter GFCIs and AFCIs by connecting them to the cloud, collecting more data on power consumption, and automating them. Resetting a circuit breaker remotely is hugely beneficial when trying to streamline maintenance. However, these features demand a lot more electronics, from microcontrollers to radios, sensors, and more. Hence, the new GFCIs and AFCIs must pack drastically more components on the same surface area as the previous models, which means that engineers looking to increase the overall density of their designs are on the hunt for smaller components. However, given the critical nature of the product, they cannot sacrifice performance or robustness for a smaller package.

The first technical characteristic many look for in the SCR that will be at the center of their GFCI or AFCI is its gate sensitivity. Traditionally, devices for industrial settings must not be too sensitive, or they will cause nuisance tripping, meaning that the protection device will think there’s a fault when there isn’t. The reason is that as the application uses significantly more power, normal current variations are larger than in devices designed for residential use. With its gate trigger current ranging between 30 µA and 150 µA, the X0115ML is sensitive enough to work in all applications while still being compatible with an industrial environment.

Another key metric is its surge peak off-state voltage because it will determine the thyristor’s robustness. Indeed, to be effective, the SCR must deal with very high voltage spikes, especially in an industrial setting. Traditionally, while devices for high power systems have a surge peak off-state voltage of 700 V, the X0115ML climbs to 750 V. Consequently, engineers enjoy greater headroom and can use the ST device in more settings. Moreover, we also included greater protections against EMI to increase its robustness over its life span.

Finally, size is an increasingly critical metric because of the proliferation of smart circuit interrupters that necessitate more electronics. Usually, SCRs used for industrial GFCIs, and AFCIs use an SOT-223 package. Hence, by moving to a SOT-23-3L, we can reduce the overall footprint by a factor of 5 without compromising performance or the UL 840 requirements. The X0115ML is even smaller than our X0115MUF, which has an identical gate trigger current and direct voltage surge but uses an SMBflat-3L packaging measuring 5.6 mm x 3.05 mm.

ASMPT, the global innovation and market leader in SMT and semiconductor manufacturing, will demonstrate further advancements in its Integrated Smart Factory concept. In addition to the proven SMT line hardware, the focus will be on new software concepts for intelligent data analytics and usage, optimized material flows, continuous process optimization, and effective personnel deployment.

ASMPT will once again be represented at the productronica fair, booth A3.377, with its SMT Solutions and Semiconductor Solutions segments as well as with its software division, MES specialist Critical Manufacturing. ASMPT will present its end-to-end hardware and software innovations for the electronics manufacturing industry that – from the line level, through the shop floor to the enterprise level. ASMPT Semiconductor Solutions will focus on high-end solutions for semiconductor manufacturing in the automotive sector, while ASMPT SMT Solutions, together with Critical Manufacturing, will demonstrate how electronics manufacturing can be successfully taken to the next level of the digital transformation.

“Automation is an important success factor for SMT manufacturers, but it is by no means the ultimate solution,” explains Waldemar Christen, Vice President CRM at ASMPT SMT Solutions. “That’s why our Open Automation concept with its standard industrial interfaces gives customers the freedom to choose what, when and to what extent they want to automate. The goal is not to have a ‘lights out factory’ with no people, but to run an integrated and sensibly automated operation as a systemic unit that is specifically geared to ROI-based aspects – a concept that we have already established together with our customers. With our productronica presentations, we are now taking electronics manufacturing to the next level by combining the data gained from the integration of existing hardware and software with ASMPT’s process know-how, which is unique in its breadth and depth, to build future-proof, intelligent solutions for more effective staff deployment, optimized material flows, and data transparency and analytics – always with the goal of achieving zero DPMO.”

In line with this new orientation, the trade fair presentation will focus less on individual products and more on electronics manufacturing as an integrated system. Accordingly, ASMPT will demonstrate highly networked production lines consisting of solder paste printers from the DEK TQ platform, the high-end Process Lens HD SPI system, and SIPLACE SX and SIPLACE TX placement machines. There will be two line versions: one for maximum efficiency and performance, and one for maximum flexibility. For the first time, we will also present fully automatic program changeovers that allow for the uninterrupted manufacturing of constantly changing products with family setups. And our hardware and software solutions for optimized material flows will show how the storage and transport of circuit boards, components, tools and a wide variety of consumables can be automated and perfected across all production facilities.

Software will be a special focus area at the ASMPT booth this year, with the SMT smart shop floor management suite WORKS playing a central role. The new generation of the WORKS applications has been improved and expanded with many intelligent functionalities, such as the WORKS Production Planner and the WORKS Material Flow Optimizer for planning and material flow management and the WORKS Command Center for the effective deployment of specialists on the shop floor. The WORKS Process Expert quality assurance and process optimization solution now monitors and optimizes the production along the entire line in combination with ASMPT and third-party SPI and AOI systems and reduces errors to a minimum for maximum yields.

Thanks to standardized interfaces such as IPC-2591 CFX, integrative data analyses for in-depth and comprehensive process optimization are now possible with the SMT Analytics software. And with the Factory Equipment Center for intelligent asset and maintenance management and the comprehensive Factory Material Manager and Factory Automation applications for the management of automated material storage and transport, ASMPT’s software now addresses the factory level in addition to the shop floor.

Also ubiquitous at the ASMPT booth will be Virtual Assist, the personal AI assistant for technicians that allows them to retrieve information about a machine quickly and easily. Virtual Assist helps scarce skilled workers and especially newcomers to solve problems quickly by letting them speak questions directly into their device.

“In today’s age of Industry 4.0, productivity is primarily information-driven,” says Sven Buchholz, Vice President Product Management at ASMPT SMT Solutions, putting ASMPT’s main focus at this year’s productronica in a nutshell. “Anyone who collects data throughout the entire production chain, analyzes it, processes it intelligently and makes it available to operators, technicians, logistics people and decision-makers will have a clear economic advantage even in the face of increasingly fierce competition. At the ASMPT booth, productronica visitors can see what this looks like in real life by viewing our exhibits and talking face-to-face with our experts.”
