Electrolytics withstand reflow soldering to +260°C
New surface-mount V-chip aluminium electrolytic capacitors from ACAL Components are designed to withstand reflow soldering to +260°C. Manufactured by NIC Components, the six new families of liquid electrolyte, aluminium capacitors are compatible with the Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) alloy lead-free soldering process which has emerged as the industry-standard replacement for Sn-Pb solder alloys for RoHS-compliant products.
High Voltage Capacitors
UK capacitor manufacturer, Syfer Technology, is a leading supplier of high voltage and high capacitance radial lead devices, not only RoHS compliant, but also with CECC approvals. The range featured in its latest catalogue extends to 5kV, but Syfer offers custom designs for specialist applications up to 10kV, if required. Such high voltage parts are essential for some medical equipment, for example, such as X-ray systems.

Dual Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Converter Delivers up to 300mA/Ch
Linear Technology has announced the LTC3547, a dual channel, high efficiency, 2.25 MHz, synchronous buck regulator that delivers up to 300mA of continuous output current per channel from a 3mm x 2mm DFN package. Using a constant frequency current mode architecture, the LTC3547 operates from an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V, making it ideal for single cell Li-Ion/Polymer, or multicell alkaline/NiCad/NiMH applications.
Ultra-Low Glitch, 16-Bit DAC from Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments has introduced the first product in a new series of precision DACs with an integrated precision reference. The DAC8560 is a 16-bit, single-channel DAC featuring ultra-low glitch (0.15nV-s), ultra-low-power (1.5mW at 2.7V) and an internal reference with 2ppm/C temperature drift and +/-0.004 percent initial accuracy. The combination of a precision DAC and outstanding reference performance makes the DAC8560 a flexible, easy-to-use ...
Vicor Expands its family of 300V Input Mini Modules
Vicor has announced the addition of nine mid-power Mini DC-DC converters to its 300Vdc input family: 100 W models at 2 and 3.3 Vout, 150 W models at 5, 12, 15, 24, 28, 36, and 48 Vout. The modules — which incorporate Vicor’s patented low-noise Zero-Current and Zero-Voltage Switching (ZCS/ZVS) —can be used in a variety of applications, including off-line systems with autoranging front ends, industrial and process control, distributed power, ...

Single Output 500W AC/DC Power Supplies
Now available from MicroPower Direct, the MPA500R series combines 500W of output power with compact size and robust performance. These AC/DC switchers include a universal 90 to 264 VAC input, active power factor correction, full safety approvals and robust filtering. These high performance , industrial power supplies are ideal for a variety of applications requiring compact construction, high power density, and low cost.
Latching relays need just a short pulse of voltage to change state.
Available from specialist distributor Switchtec, Hongfa latching relays require just a short pulse of voltage to change state. As opposed to conventional relays that require a continuous supply of power to remain energised - therefore consuming far more energy - the Hongfa latching relays save energy compared to an equivalent relay, or in the case of the larger sizes, contactors.
