A selection tool depicts a clear overview of the various product groups, including pictograms to show all of their important functions at a glance.

Terminal blocks that can be plugged in both horizontally, as well as vertically, offer developers a high degree of flexibility. It’s the same in development too: The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Particularly cable outlets are usually there where you least often need them. Whether horizontal or vertical orientation to the circuit board can rarely be defined with certainty at the beginning of development.

The use of LED strip PCB’s is popular in the efficient production of electrical lighting solutions. Würth Elektronik eiSos is now introducing a completely series of connectors for connecting LED strip PCB’s: WR-LECO is available with two, three, four or five poles and is attractive due to its very flat design, only 2.45 mm high.

Würth Elektronik eiSos is releasing a new manual: ABC of Power Modules – Functionality, Structure and Handling of a Power Module is the first practical manual specifically about using components to control DC voltage. The manual explains the basics of voltage control and frequently used switching topologies. The mechanical design of a power module is described as well as its impact on EMC and heat management.

Which innovations are currently in the R&D pipeline of the electronics branch? How open must decision-makers in the electronics industry keep their minds for new technologies? And above all else: what is the role played by the 'smart factory' in this connection? These and a host of similar questions were on the agenda of the very first Innovation Symposium in the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on 26th January, attended by more than 50 manag...

SKEDD realises an innovative connection concept: components or connectors that use SKEDD to attach directly to a circuit board – without...

Würth Elektronik and Infineon Technologies are launching the jointly developed "XMC Digital Power Explorer" evaluation kit. This synchronous step-down converter, which can be assembled with two different control cards (XMC1300 - ARM Cortex-M0 MCU and XMC4200 - ARM Cortex-M4F MCU), makes it easier for developers of analog power supplies and embedded software programmers to enter the world of digital power supply.

The latest "Electromechanical Components 2016" catalogue is almost 1,000 pages long and can now be ordered from Würth Elektronik eiSos. This standard work of connection technology includes the product groups of connectors, switches, keys, fuse holders, connection technology and power elements in press-fit technology.

In partnership with Teleconnect, Wurth Electronics Midcom is announcing the availability of the SOCRATES Evaluation Kit for SHDSL Ethernet First Mile (EFM) Modems, featuring Lantiq’s SOCRATES SHDSL chipset. This demonstration kit provides the ability to test the capabilities of Lantiq’s SOCRATES in single-pair SHDSL applications.

Exhibiting from Stand 601 in Hall 10 at SPS IPC Drives, Würth Elektronik will be focusing on its new connector products from its 'Passive Components 2016' catalogue and the to-be-launched 'Electromechanical Components 2016' catalogue. This catalogue contains the product groups for connectors, switches, keys, fuse holders, connection technology and power elements in press-fit technology.
