A circuit arrangement for two serially connected semiconductor switches connected to a voltage supply is provided. Between the semiconductor switches a primary winding of a transformer is connected. A first diode is connected on an anode side to a potential of the voltage supply at a source terminal of the second semiconductor switch and on a cathode side to a first connection terminal facing the first semiconductor switch on the primary winding. A second diode is connected on the cathode side to the potential of the voltage supply at a drain terminal of the first semiconductor switch and on the anode side to a second connection terminal facing the second semiconductor switch on the primary winding. A first secondary winding of the transformer is provided, connected in series between the first diode and the first connection terminal, and a second secondary winding, connected in series between the second diode and the second connection terminal.

Asymmetric half-bridge with reduced switch load

A switched mode power supply is provided. The switched mode power supply includes a transformer, which includes at least one primary winding connected to a DC voltage via a switching element and a secondary winding connected to a load via a rectifier circuit including at least one diode, and at least one piezoelectric fan which generates an air flow at the transformer and/or at the switching element and/or at the diode. The air flow produced can be guided in a targeted manner onto the components to be cooled, with the air flow remaining low and therefore, no contamination by air particles arises.

Switched mode power supply

An electrical connector element for connection of a conductor to a circuit board, having a housing, at least one clamp connector for the conductor and at least two connector pins for preferably soldered connection to the circuit board, is disclosed. The housing has at least one separating element made from insulating material, projecting from the lower side, facing away from the circuit board in the assembled position, at least partly arranged between the connector pins and extending through the circuit board in the assembled position, in order to permit the connector pins of the electrical connector element to be arranged closer together.
