  Knowles Precision Devices' brand, Voltronics, offers a range of non-magnetic trimmer to offer the medical industry a consistent source of supply, in the face of other companies ceasing or limiting supply   

Automotive is one of the strongest growing markets for electronic components worldwide. AEC-Q200 compliant components are consistently being designed into automotive systems such as EV power train and battery management, infotainment, engine control, air bags, lighting and more. The demand for ‘off-the-shelf', yet highly rugged devices is expanding fast, and in many cases outstripping supply.

Johanson Manufacturing branded Variable Inductors, from Knowles Precision Devices, combine small size and high performance with non-magnetic properties. Inductors and variable inductors are necessary elements of many RF products. They are used for matching and loading low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers and mixers, as well as for providing frequency- selective resonant circuits in variable-frequency oscillators.

Knowles Precision Devices has a range of EMI components, under the SYFER brand, that appeal to designers in the medical implantable and space sectors as well as industrial, automotive, aerospace and telecom applications. The increasing use of SMD filters over conventional panel mounted filters has simplified assembly methods, reduced production costs and enabled smaller volumetric efficiencies to be gained giving options to the designer - pa...
