Editorial

Dear Readers,

Another year has come to an end. Wedo not normally present a review ofthe past year but prefer to concen-trate on the twelve months aheadwith all the challenges they hold forus.

But in 2001 we have experienced somany unexpected and unspeakableevents that it is difficult to look onlyinto the future. The world we haveknown for so many years has sud-denly proved far more fragile than wehad believed.

Our economy has proved much moresensitive to these inhuman attacksthan had previously been imagined.Our security needs are suddenlymuch greater and our unlimited free-dom and mobility cannot be taken forgranted in the same way as in thepast.

In these turbulent times it is good tobe able to work in a medium-sizedfirm with a high degree of continuityand a healthy customer base.

In 2002, Multi-Contact can celebratethe 40th anniversary of its founda-tion. This is something we can beproud of.

It is gratifying to know that many ofour employees and partners havefound fulfilment in our company andhave been loyal to us for decades.

Two of our field representatives inGermany will be retiring at the end ofthe year.

Mr. Reinhold Illies has served us formore than 30 years in Northern Ger-many. Mr. Rolf Barghorn has alsoworked for MC for many years in theFrankfurt area.

Both of them helped our company’sfounder Rudolf Neidecker to spreadknowledge of its products and exper-

20 Years of Multi-Contact (South East Asia) Pte. Ltd. Singapore

20 Years

Multi-Contact (South East Asia) Pte.Ltd. Singapore is 20 years old. ItsManaging Director Fred Binggeliwrites:On 4 January 1981 my wife and I,with three suitcases and a woodencrate (exhibition material) were givena send-off at Basel airport, completewith food and drink, by almost the en-tire staff of Multi-Contact (the firm

was much smaller then thanit is today). We shall neverforget the Münster cheesewe smuggled in our handbaggage, which began tosmell really “pungent” aftersuch a long flight!!

We expected to stay in Singa-pore for 2 to 3 years, longenough to get the new firmup and running. But those 2to 3 years have now become20. With a few exceptionswe have enjoyed almost thewhole of our time in Singa-pore and have had fun work-ing here.

We are happy to look back onthe successes of the last 20 yearswhich we naturally owe largely to ourstaff, almost all of whom have beenwith us for more than 10 years.

But very special thanks are also dueto the people in Basel (including themanagement) for the fantastic sup-port they have always given us.

And especially to “Big Bossy”, as heis called here, Dr. Peter Duss. He has

needed a great deal of patience withus half-Asians and Asians.

But we rarely get a visit from thepeople in Basel. They say it’s muchtoo hot here!!!!

The beginnings were not easy, for wehad no customers and had to start vir-tually from scratch. Today we enjoygood business relations with manylarge and small customers who are tobe found all over Asia from Indiathrough Pakistan to Thailand, Malay-sia, Indonesia, Taiwan, the Philip-pines etc. One development we areparticularly pleased about is the everstronger foothold we are gaining inChina. We confidently hope this willgrow even bigger in future.

We hope to expand still further in thenext 20 years. With the excellent sup-port it receives from the “motherfirm”, we have no doubt the “daugh-ter” will succeed in doing so.

Our warmest thanks once again to allwho have contributed to this suc-cess.

Probes — essential equipment for oscilloscopes

Isoprobe®��

Passive probe,high input impedance

Low impedance at high frequenciesdistorts input signal: square-wave

pulse with clearly visible overshoots.

The oscilloscope is one of the most important test instrumentsin electronics. Constant development has substantially enhancedthe performance of these devices and expanded theirrange of applications. In orderto display a test signal onthese instruments, an electricalconnection must be establishedbetween the oscilloscope andthe object under test. The aimin establishing such a connectionis to transmit the signal from thepoint of measurement to theoscilloscope with a minimum ofdistortion. Here, various factors must be taken into considerationwhich call for the use of special probes. Probe systems arebroadly classified into passive and active types.

by J. Göhler, telecommunications engineer At a frequency of 100MHz, the pas-sive probe shown in the example hasan impedance of only 100 - 150�.

This already causes distortion of asignal from a 50�-source. In order toreduce this distortion, the capacitiesof the coaxial lead and the scopemust be reduced.This is virtually impossible.

However, there is another solution:An impedance converter needs to beinstalled directly after the divider inorder to decouple it from the follow-ing components.

In this situation an active probe maybe a help.

Test conditionsInput impedance

Every oscilloscope has an input im-pedance which may be high or low[50�]. In the case of a high-imped-ance oscilloscope, the input imped-ance consists of a real component,generally 1M�, and a capacitativecomponent of around 8 - 30pF.

Vertical scaling

The maximum vertical scaling of anoscilloscope is usually 10V/div, whichmeans that a maximum amplitude of80Vss can be displayed. For the mea-surement of larger voltage ampli-tudes, a voltage divider is required.

Practicability

In electrical testing it is often neces-sary to quickly tap off signals from dif-ferent points. In this situation,time-consuming plugged, soldered orscrewed connections are not practi-cable.

Outside interference

In order to eliminate outside interfer-ence, the system consisting of theprobe and lead must be of coaxialdesign.

Principle of a passive,high-impedance probe

The example shows a probe with a di-viding ratio of 10:1. This enables sig-nals up to 800Vss to be visualised.

As a result of the capacitative compo-nent of the scope’s input impedanceand the capacity of the coaxial lead, ithas the drawback of a frequency de-pendence which must be compen-sated (Cv and Ckomp).

The input impedance of the probe isthus 10M� || Cin. In probes of thistype a typical value for Cin is around10 - 15pF (including stray capacities).

Limits to the use of passive probes

Today there are many suppliers ofpassive probes with bandwidths ofup to 500MHz. When using theseprobes at frequencies above 20MHz,however, one should bear in mind theinfluence exerted on the test objectby their input impedance.

Active test probesThe active test probe has the crucialadvantage of an extremely low inputcapacity. Thus the input impedance isalmost purely resistive and the loadupon the point of measurement issmall even at high frequencies.

Its main field of application is wherethere is a need for the undistorteddisplay of steep signal pulses.

The difference in the two signaltraces shown here is due solely to thedifferent capacities of the active andpassive test probe.

As a result of the smaller capacity,the inductive effect of the earth leadremains small so that longer earthleads can be used.

With a passive test probe, even withshort earth leads distortions in the

pulse gradient or even retroactive in-fluences on the test signals would al-ready occur at a relatively high sourceimpedance.

A further advantage is the possibility,with a standardised output imped-ance (e. g. 50�) A further advantageis the possibility, with a standardisedoutput impedance.

With a spectrum analyser and an ac-tive test probe, for instance, mea-surements can be carried out at al-most any point in a circuit.

Here it must be borne in mind thatthe dynamic range of a spectrumanalyser of more than 100dB, basedon 50�, cannot be attained with anactive test probe based on an imped-ance of 1M�, if only because of the

stronger coupling of interference sig-nals.

An assessment, for instance, ofwhere the signal limitation hasoccurred in a multi-stage amplifier iseffected at a level above -40dBm andcan be carried out more quickly andmore easily.

A drawback of active test probes isthe limited voltage range of ±15V, themaximum permitted voltage beingless than 50V.

Active test probes generally consistsof voltage dividers on the input side,low-capacity FETs and further ampli-fier stages (impedance converters).As a result, they require a powersupply.

High impedance with little effecton the test signal.

Very clean square waveform.

Multi-Contact USA Headquarters, located North of SanFrancisco, in Santa Rosa, California, has helped ease thestatewide energy crisis and increased productivity by in-stalling and operating a state-of-the-art, 11 kiloWatt pho-tovoltaic array.

Capable of supplying in excess of one third of its dailyenergy usage, this system enables MC-USA to maintainnormal business operations up to eight hours daily dur-ing the occasional energy outages caused by externalfactors and infrequent rolling blackouts.

Featuring 76 of BP Solar’s latest technologymonocrystalline silicon solar modules rated at150 Watts/each, prewired with MC-connectors,2 computer-controlled Trace Engineering 5,5kWSine Wave inverters and 2 banks of 8 each Con-cord sealed Gel storage batteries, this systemkeeps the back-up batteries fully charged at alltimes and feeds back excess power to the localgrid.

On the many days of low power usage, duringwhich (thanks to the Bay Area’s Mediterraneanclimate) neither cooling nor heating is necessary,our electric meter is actually running backwards!

During a power outage, this system maintains the integ-rity of all of MC-USA’s business infrastructure: 2 serversand networks, always-on wireless DSL connection, 42workstations, 18 printers, 4 copiers, 4 fax machines and25 phones connected to their own PBX system (includ-ing satellite-fed DMX)as well as all essentiallighting.

Incandescent lightbulbs have been re-placed with ultra-lowenergy consuming min-iature fluorescent andhalogen units.

Installation was simplified with the use of touch-protected Multi-Contact UL®- recognizedphotovoltaic “Plug-n-Play”™ connectors, enhancing service friendliness and reducingtime-consuming stripping, splicing and hardwiring.

Website Updatesn this year’s News weagain have plenty to tell ourreaders about new and,above all, innovative devel-

opments in our web activities. As an-nounced in News 2001, a fifth lan-guage (Spanish) has been added tothe Multi-Contact Website to makeits information accessible to ourmany Spanish-speaking customers.

For us it is a matter of great impor-tance to constantly build up and ex-pand our international presence in allfields of communication. That meansthat in future not only our catalogues,flyers and News but also the MCWebSite will continue to be pub-lished in several languages. In view ofthe rapid growth in the number ofwebsite hits, we have increased theupdate frequency to a maximum oftwo per week.

MC’s new product lines you will have learnedfrom the preceding pages,Multi-Contact has restruc-tured its complete product

palette and introduced productgroups with more meaningful names.The various product groups are col-our-coded and subdivided into prod-uct lines.We now offer a CD which containsthe catalogues in PDF format and anavigation system programmed inFlash 5.0 to help you find the wayfrom the old designations (Ho2, Lab1-4) to the new product lines (Power-line, Medicalline etc.).

www – news and the new e-catalogue from Multi-Contact

The catalogues and the website arebeing gradually adapted to the newform of presentation, and we shallalso be placing a light version of theabove-mentioned Flash tool on thewebsite.

The new E-cataloguelthough the wave of IT net-working euphoria has nowebbed away and the busi-ness world is again relying

more upon tried and tested struc-tures while the IT sector has failed tofulfil its early promise and earn thepremature acclaim it received, wecannot ignore the far-reaching ad-vances that have been made in thefield of communication.

Here it is crucial to find an investmentpolicy that constitutes a happy me-dium. Multi-Contact has therefore de-

cided to embark upon a new and in-novative path, and in the first quarterof 2002 will be able to announce theintroduction of an electronic, web-compatible catalogue.This will begin with the product line“Plug Connectors for Automation”,

followed by the other lineswhich will be successivelyadded. We are endeavouringto offer a degree of interactionbetween SAP/R3 and theInternet that goes beyond thenormal standard, which for usmeans enormously expandingthe master database and en-gaging in extremely work-in-tensive data maintenance op-erations.

In this project too we are start-ing with a test phase and hopefor your approval, support, and,of course, creative criticism.

The decision to develop anelectronic catalogue entirely“in house” was taken in re-sponse to the ever-growingnumber of requests for data ofevery kind from customers

wanting to develop their own solu-tions. With the E-catalogue from MCwe can offer you up-to-date data at alltimes. You do not have to concernyourself with data maintenance, andwe guarantee constant support andthe further development of our E-cat-alogue.

o meet the growing net-work demands upon theMC website and now uponthe E-catalogue, we have

trebled our leased line capacity.

We are looking forward to the futurePh. Michel — Desktop Publishing
