Campbell Collins Ltd offers the PGDS-50 and LGDS-300 Transient Protection Modules from Gaia Converter to the UK marketplace. These Hi-Rel Grade Transient Suppression Modules are complementary products to Gaia’s wide range of DC/DC converters and input filters, enabling customers to quickly and elegantly create complete power supply solutions.

Young Electronics Group introduces the Nippon ChemiCon ultra low ESR functional polymer capacitor which offers excellent noise absorption and is suitable for digital information appliances, DC:DC converters, voltage regulators, de-coupling applications such as those used on computer motherboards, etc.

AVX has expanded its offering of MIL QPL products with switch mode power supply capacitors that meet MIL PRF 49470 specifications. These stacked capacitors are designed to have ultra low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL), which make them ideal to handle large currents and transient voltages of today’s power supplies while maintaining a small footprint. AVX’s MIL QPL products are uniquely suited ...

International Rectifier has introduced the AUIPS2051L and AUIPS2052G 75V low-side intelligent power switches (IPS) for harsh 24V automotive environments including truck junction box applications. The AUIPS2051L and AUIPS2052G feature a 70V active clamp and provide a comprehensive set of protection features. The devices shut down in the event of over-temperature or over-current conditions, restarting once the input is turned off and turned on agai...

Murata's latest 1212 size wirewound chip inductor series offers improved performance in the same compact, low profile case size. The LQH3NP_J0 series is designed specifically for DC-DC converter applications and features reduced DC resistance and increased allowable current.

AVX has developed a broadband capacitor that addresses DC blocking issues from 16kHz (-3dB roll-off) to 40GHz by providing low insertion and return losses. The broadband capacitor is ideal for applications such as semiconductor data communications, receiver optical subassemblies, trans-impedance amplifiers and test equipment.

Rittal has significantly extended its Ri4Power range for low-voltage switchgear, with the development of new isolator sections. The isolator section layout is based on the familiar components of the Ri4Power system. In tests, the highest configuration variant with complete side panel modules and bar covers achieved internal form separation of up to Form 4b. Depending on the number of cables to be connected, the new Rittal isolator sections are av...

Vishay Intertechnology has announced the release of a new series of tantalum-cased wet tantalum capacitors with glass-to-tantalum hermetic seals. For high-reliability applications, the 136D devices operate over a temperature range of - 55 °C to + 85 °C, to + 200 °C with voltage derating, and provide low ESR down to 0.44 Ω at 120 Hz and + 25 °C.

Semtech Corp has announced the uClamp2501T and uClamp2511T, 2.5V single-line MicroClamp transient voltage suppression (TVS) devices. These TVS devices are targeted at the one of the fastest growing mobile phone markets - multimedia smart phones with touchscreens, docking ports, memory slots and other interfaces that open the possibility of potential damage from ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD).

Hua-Jie (Taiwan) Corp. has released news of three new product ranges, now available through electronic component distributor Components Bureau. First is the Sealed Tact Switch series TSW. Both TSWBF and TSWBH versions offer water resistance functionality in up to 10cm of water and operate consistently for 1000 hours in 95% humidity. With only a 10mmx10mm footprint, these surface mount switches are available at either 13mm or 23mm heights.
