ARISO LP Contactless Connectivity SolutionContactless Power and Data | November 2016

APPLIANCES

TE Connectivity (TE) introduces the ARISO LP contactless connectivity solution. This is designed as a contactless power and data link in appliances and other consumer-facing applications where power and/or data must be passed between a larger, stationary item and a movable part.

ARISO LP Contactless Connectivity Solution

Power up to 5W at 12VDC can be delivered from a transmitter (PTx) module to a receiver (PRx) module via inductive coupling with no physical contact.Data is also supported via 2.4GHz wireless duplex communication and a proprietary protocol.

Various coil pair configurations support rotating, revolving and sliding movement of lids, covers, shelves, drawers and other parts, as well as detachment of the items.

TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute.

What’s new?TE is introducing contactless power and data link solutions for appliances and other consumer-facing applications



APPLIANCES4

• Based on a custom TE specification focused on appliance applications

• Comprehensive module simulation system with integrated electromagnetic, circuit and thermal components

• Reliable, predictable inductive coupling• Transmitting coil generates an alternating magnetic field with the

magnetic flux passing through the coils, inducing current in the receiving coil to transmit the power

• Broadly implemented 2.4GHz wireless data link• Duplex transparent communication via UART, up to 38.4kbps• Proprietary protocol

ARISO LP contactless connectors are designed for a variety of appliance and consumer product applications with movable or detachable parts such as doors, drawers, shelves, lids, or covers, that need to have power and signal. For example:• Washing machine lid with integral user interface• Refrigerator shelf or drawer with integral LED lighting• Removable lid with sensor and display on countertop cooker.Wherever an application requires freedom of movement, unlimited mating cycles, exposure to high and low temperatures, resistance to fluids, dust, vibration and more.

What applications might use this?



APPLIANCES15

Development of the ARISO LP solution continues, but a demonstration kit is now available. It includes:• Base station• Plate, U-shape and nested ring coil pairs • Transmitter and receiver modules• Demonstration circuit boards • 2-position and five-position signal double lock connectors and

leads for making required interconnections• Power adapter• Documentation

What is available now?



APPLIANCES16

Sets of prototype parts are also available. These sets of parts, (2301579-1 for the set) include the same elements as the demonstration kit without including the base module.• Plate, U-shape and nested ring coil pairs • Transmitter and receiver modules• Demonstration circuit boards • 2-position and five-position signal double lock connectors and

leads for making required interconnections• Power adapter• Documentation

What is available now?



APPLIANCES


• Do you need a solution to make a power and/or data connection between an appliance or other consumer equipment to its door, lid, shelf, cover or other movable part?

• Is the power requirement 5W or less?

• Does the movable part need to be detachable?

• Is the connection subject to a high number of mating cycles?

• Is the application in a challenging physical environment (temperature, moisture, vibration, etc.)?

• Does this need to be washable?

If the answers are “yes,” ARISO LP contactless connector system could represent a great solution for the application.

Design-In Questions


APPLIANCES


There are other wireless connectivity options available on the market:

• TE’s own original ARISO contactless connectivity solution is a great product, but it is designed and manufactured for a very demanding industrial machinery environment. Consequently, is must be offered at a price point that is not appropriate for appliance and consumer applications. The ARISO LP product is focused on these applications at a lower price point.

• Numerous other wireless power solutions from other firms focus primarily on delivering power for applications such as battery charging for cell phones, tablets, etc. These typically support power only, while ARISO LP supports power and data at levels appropriate for appliances.
