Optimised to save space and weight in demanding applications, such as space vehicles, defence systems and oil exploration equipment, Micro Series Connectors are rugged and moisture-sealed.

SMD multilayer varistors from TDK EPCOS provide reliable surge and ESD protection for sensitive components and are now available from TTI. Offering high reliability and long-term stability they are ideal for applications such as smart home and security devices.

The VCNL4040 fully integrated proximity and ambient light sensor from Vishay is now available from distributor TTI. Featuring Filtron technology, the sensor combines an IR emitter, photo detectors for proximity and ambient light, a signal processing IC and a 16-bit ADC.

Low-profile SMT automotive antennas from AVX/Ethertronics that provide RF performance and give global coverage are now available from TTI. The antennas support different worldwide frequency bands and ensure superior performance, yet occupy minimal PCB real estate.

The new PT Series of sealed power toggle switches from C&K is now available from TTI. The multi-function PT Series has a patented single piece injection moulded panel and toggle seal designed to deliver optimum performance in harsh, dirty, dusty environments. Certification to the globally accepted UL 61058 standard means that no additional testing is required.

A broad range of Amphenol ICC’s I/O registered RJ45 modular jack and RJ magnetic solutions can now be sourced in Europe through TTI. The products meet the increasing demand for faster speeds and greater bandwidth for VoIP, Ethernet, WLAN, medical, and industrial applications.

Now available in Europe through TTI is the compact Energy Harvester SPGA Series from Alps Electric Europe. The SPGA Series is a compact power-generating device employing electromagnetic induction to generate power with each push or release. Combined with external low-power wireless technology, the device can function as a switch.

Now in stock in Europe at distributor TTI are Murata’s accelerometers featuring 3D MEMS technology. The product range includes high performance digital and analogue accelerometers for both safety critical automotive and high performance industrial applications.

Now available in Europe through TTI are CSS series high power current sense resistors from Bourns. The devices come in both 2-terminal and 4-terminal versions. The 2-terminal models are available in three different footprint sizes: 5930, 3920 and 2512 (6332 Metric).

Available in Europe through TTI are Murata’s IR series DC-DC converters, designed specifically for use in industrial and railway applications. Models available include the IRQ100 series 100W single o/p regulated outputs in an industry-standard quarter brick, and IRH150 series 150W single o/p, and IRS50 series 50W sixteenth brick package.

Now available in Europe through TTI are SolidTack MB and FlexTack cable tie mounts from HellermannTyton. These self-adhesive mounting bases feature a high-performance acrylic adhesive which is specially designed to adhere strongly on high and low energy surfaces like metals, plastics, glass, painted, varnished or powder-coated objects.

A supercapacitor module from Eaton that delivers high reliability, high power and ultra-high capacitance energy storage is available now at TTI. Utilising electrochemical double-layer capacitor (EDLC) construction, the Eaton XLR-48 supercapacitor module can be used as a sole energy source or in combination with batteries to optimise cost, lifetime and run time.

Now in stock in Europe at TTI are 3M’s Mini Clamp wiremount connectors. The components are designed to provide connection reliability and cost performance in I/O applications commonly found in a wide range of sensor control systems, including Factory Automation and Industrial Controls.

A Sensors Application Guide which – for the first time – is split by market sectors rather than by franchise or device type was premiered at electronica by TTI. Sections include Smart Building; Smart Appliances; HVAC; Renewable Energy; Robotics and Factory Automation; Materials Handling; EV and Automotive; Medical; Wearables; Drones and Unmanned Vehicles.

Available in Europe through TTI is Omron’s D6F-PH Differential Pressure Sensor. The product is a type of MEMS chip with I²C digital output. Using Omron’s proprietary MEMS mass flow technology, the sensor features a redesigned internal flow path that produces low flow, high velocity/high impedance for a differential pressure output.

Now available in Europe through TTI are OMNIMATE hybrid connectors from Weidmüller. The components replace three individual components and reduce three separate operations to one - with the signal contacts integrated directly in the power connector, the pluggable cable shielding and the one-handed safety lock.

Now available at TTI, the Molex Ultra-Fit Power Connectors have a streamlined design that enables smaller, more efficient packaging than similar power interconnects, yet still provide similar current density. Ultra-Fit Power Connectors provide up to 14A, but take up less than half the PCB footprint of comparable devices, enabling electronics designers to solve challenges across a very wide spectrum of products.  

The first AEC-Q101 qualified, phototransistor optocoupler introduced by Vishay is now available at TTI. This newly-launched device, the VOMA617A, combines a high current transfer ratio (CTR) of 50% to 600% with low 5mA forward current. Supplied in a compact SOP-4 package, the new device offers the major advantage of a 30% saving on PCB real-estate when compared to a DIP-4 package.
