AVX’s New AEC-Q200-Qualified Skycap Capacitors Are Ideal For High-Voltage Automotive Applications
AVX Corporation has developed a unique new series of high-voltage, conformally coated, radial leaded MLC capacitors for automotive applications. An extension of its successful Skycap Series, AVX’s new X7R dielectric High Voltage AR Series capacitors feature a working voltage range of 1000V to 3000V, are AEC-Q200 qualified, and are readily available in two popular sizes, AR21 and AR30; additional sizes are available upon request.
New Heavy Duty 125V Ultracap Module Built To Withstand The Rigours Of Track, Tram And Bus
Easby Electronics are pleased to introduce the new ultra robust 62F 125v ultracapacitor module from Nesscap which will run alongside its standard module but incorporating weather proof connectors, high performance long life fans and stainless steel/aluminium housing. Both modules have been designed for use in heavy transportation such as trains, trams, buses, lorries and mining for re-generative braking and acceleration assist, engine start and ...
Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors : World'S Smallest Automotive-Grade Mlccs In The Mega Cap Class
TDK Corporation has expanded its CKG series of MEGACAP Type MLCCs to include miniature 1608 to 3216 (EIA 0603 to 1206) packages. Until now these MLCCs were available only in 3225 to 5750 packages (EIA 1210 to 2220). With dimensions of only 1.9 x 1.3 x 1.5 mm³ the new 1608 components are the world’s smallest automotive-grade MLCCs in the mega cap class.
Eurotech Receives 1.2M Euro Order for Railway Application
Eurotech today announces they have received an order for 1.2M Euro to supply on-board equipment for railway application to Alstom Italy. Deliveries will take place over a period of two to three years.
High Stability MEMS-Based XOS For The Automotive Operating Temperature Range From -40°C To +125°C
MSC is presenting the new SiT1618 MEMS XO family from SiTime on its Booth 2-219 in Hall 2 at embedded world 2013, February 26 28, 2013 in Nuremberg, Germany. These new oscillators, which are designed for the automotive operating temperature range from 40°C to +125°C, feature excellent frequency stability up to ±25 ppm inclusive of all conditions, G sensitivity of only 0.1 ppb and low power consumption of 3.6 mA.
Compact Ozonizer Module Removes Germs And Eliminates Odors In Consumer And Automotive Accessory Applications
Murata today announced the ultra compact MHM500 ozonizer module constructed on a low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) element. Using a discharge electrode and a dielectric electrode within the LTCC board the ozonizer creates a stable supply of ozone, and because the electrodes are fabricated within the LTC element it offers a long life characteristic.
Low Profile 600W TVS Diode from Littelfuse Protects Sensitive Electronics from Voltage Transients
Littelfuse, Inc has introduced the TPSMA6L Series of Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) Diodes. This new series can provide secondary transient voltage protection from transients induced by load dump and other transient voltage events for automotive electronic control units, sensors, entertainment systems, and other applications that require high reliability. This SMA device’s low profile DO-221AC package is less than 1.1 mm high, but it o...
Carbon Nanotubes Find Niche Markets In Supercapacitors For Aviation
Supercapacitors have drawn much attention in recent years due to their high power density, reversibility, and long cycle life. They are being used in automotive applications as stop-start idle elimination system in cars. This can reduce up to 15% of fuel costs in urban driving and reduce related CO2 emissions. For example, Lamborghini just announced that they will use Maxwell Technologies supercapacitors for this purpose in all Lamborghini Aventa...
Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors: High Reliability MLCCs For Automotive Applications In A 0603 (EIA 0201) Package
TDK Corporation presents the new CGA1 series of 0603 (EIA 0201) MLCCs for use in automotive electronics applications. With dimensions of only 0.6 x 0.3 x 0.3 mm³, the new components offer rated voltages from 6.3 V to 50 V, thus including the world’s first 0603 X7R MLCC with a rated voltage of 50 V. The 0603 package is the smallest used by the automotive industry.
