Tyco Electronics has added coloured plugs, caps and headers to its existing Universal MATE-N-LOK connector family. A total of nine different colour options are now available, enabling colour coding and different colour schemes in harness and wiring systems. Improving visibility and aesthetics, new coloured MATE-N-LOK connectors meet system colour coding protocols and avoid losing any position as no additional keying component is required.

Schroff has expanded its portfolio of AdvancedTCA products with a new range of compact 2- to 5-slot systems designed to allow modules to be mounted horizontally. Aimed at both the development environment and enterprise solutions, the new range of AdvancedTCA systems incorporates hot-swap capable fan units with a cooling performance of 200W per front board and 15W for the rear I/O area, while an independent fan controller enables the systems to be...

Avago Technologies has announced an expansion of its solid state relay (MOSFET) family of opto-isolation products. The company is a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications. With input drive as low as 2mA and fast switching speeds of less than 0.5ms, Avago's new ASSR-301C/302C and ASSR-401C/402C are specifically designed for sensing and multiplexing applications, such as test and mea...

Texas Instruments has introduced a high-efficiency, constant-frequency charge pump DC/DC converter that uses dual-mode conversion to maximize efficiency over the input voltage range. The tiny 3 mm x 3 mm device provides a fully programmable current with I2C interface for applications, such as cellular phones, PDAs and multi-display handheld devices.

XP Power has announced the availability of the ECL series of ultra compact, low power AC/DC power supplies. Two series are available in the range, the 10W ECL10 and the 15W ECL15. Both supplies are available in 3 mechanical formats: open frame pcb mount, encapsulated pcb mount, and open frame chassis mount. The ECL10 open frame pcb mount unit measures just 25.4 x 50.8 x 22.8 mm (1.0 x 2.0 x 0.9 inches), and has a power density of 5.6 W per cubic...

Now available in the UK from Quadrant is a range of high-performance, IP65 rated rocker switches from Marquardt, an independently owned German company that was formed in 1925 and is based in Reitheim-Weilheim.

The European distributor ECOMAL is now offering the new Shindengen US-KB family of products, which sets new standards in rated and peak current performance. 10, 15 and 30 amp versions have been added to the familiar range of 4, 6 and 8 amp versions. Due to low AC line impedance, rectifiers which are connected to the AC input often have to be protected against excessive inrush current which flows when large are uncharged. An external protective re...

Today’s electronic components have to meet very stringent requirements to ensure that they are able withstand the stress of automotive and other hightemperature applications combined with high levels of vibration. Large electrolytic capacitors which are used to store energy cause problems, as they are the only components with wire leads in many applications. The European distributor ECOMAL has reacted to this situation by adding innovative Fro...

Linear Technology announces the LT3510, a dual current mode PWM step-down DC/DC converter with two internal 2.5A power switches packaged in a 20-lead TSSOP-20E package. Each channel is capable of delivering up to 2A of continuous output current at efficiencies up to 88%. Independent input voltage, feedback, soft-start and power good pins for each channel simplify complex power supply tracking and sequencing requirements.

ACAL Radiatron announces the immediate availability of the industry’s smallest and lowest-cost high-current, sealed contactor rated for operation up to 500 amps. Weighing just 0.43kg, the Kilovac EV200 is also the lightest product in its class.
