UK capacitor manufacturer Syfer Technology has announced that all of its standard ranges of radial lead capacitors are now available with tin terminations, in place of the traditional tin-lead terminations on the leads. All internal solder joints are also lead-free to meet the requirements of the new directive. For customers required to demonstrate compliance, Syfer’s part numbers have been modified and clearly labelled with an additional ‘...

Howard Ingleson has been appointed as Managing Director of Syfer Technology Limited in Norwich, UK. Howard, a graduate of York University with a BS in Physics, joined Syfer in 1995 from Oxley where he was the Business Manager of the EMI filter division.

Syfer Technology hopes to reduce lead times for its planar arrays by a third thanks to what it calls a lean manufacturing programme that will look at all elements of waste, including time, within its manufacturing processes.

Syfer Technology’s commitment to workplace safety has led to the Norwich-based electronics component manufacturer achieving a significant safety quality standard.

Syfer Technology has developed a range of high voltage capacitors in smaller packages to help product designers meet ever-tightening constraints for increased performance in a reduced form factor.

Syfer Technology has announced the availability of an extensive range of solder mount feedthrough EMI filters designed to be fully RoHS compliant.

Syfer’s balanced line X2Y three terminal chip range provides simultaneous line to line and line to ground filtering using a single ceramic chip. Such a device typically replaces two or three capacitors to deliver both differential and common mode filtering.

Syfer Technology has entered into a strategic distribution partnership with Mouser Electronics, one of the fastest growing electronics distributors in North America.

Syfer Technology has made available a range of ceramic chip capacitors designed specifically for use in the snubber circuit of high frequency ballasts for fluorescent lighting systems.

Somewhat against the industry trend, the latest designs of surface mount chip capacitors available from leading UK passive component manufacturer, Syfer Technology, can be supplied with traditional tin/lead terminations.
