Designed for accuracy and economy, the new Model DR217 Series Radial Leaded Inductors from Datatronic Distribution, Inc., combine superior performance, reliability and long-life.

NeoPhotonics announces the general availability and volume shipment of its photonic integrated circuit (PIC) based Coherent Mixer for 40 and 100 Gbps optical transmission systems. Coherent mixers enable ultra high-rate optical transmission by revealing additional information about the amplitude and phase of the received optical signal over traditional intensity-level receivers, allowing transmission of multiple bits in each optical data pulse.

Vishay has announced the release of the new TNPU e3 series of high-precision thin film flat chip resistors in 0603, 0805, and 1206 case sizes. Vishay’s new TNPU e3 thin film flat chip resistors combine the proven reliability of TNPW e3 products with an advanced level of precision. This unique combination makes the devices perfectly suited for applications such as amplifiers, precision voltage dividers, and control units in industrial, automotiv...

Fast switching generated by IGBTs causes high voltage ramps (greater than 4000V/µs), that may be even higher in the motor windings. The fast switching can also shorten the motor life and limit the maximum cable lengths.

Designated as FFVS Series, the medium power capacitors are designed for applications that require high frequency ripple (>100kHz) DC filtering for induction heating and inductance of less than 10nH on certain models.

Avago Technologies has announced that it has developed a new family of ultra-low power optocouplers that will pave the way for a new generation of optical isolators that can operate on approximately 90 percent less power than today's standard optocouplers. Utilizing a unique integrated circuit design and thick insulation material, Avago's innovative ACPL-M61L/061L/064L/W61L/K64L optocouplers offer a significant reduction in power requirements wit...

Vishay has introduced the improved VTAZ series of ultra-high-precision Bulk Metal Z-Foil axial-lead resistors with extended power ratings to 1.0 W and resistance values to 300 kΩ. While typical axial resistors offer a load-life stability of > 0.1 % through a 2000-hour workload, Vishay’s new devices feature an improved load-life stability of ± 0.005 % (50 ppm) at + 70 °C for 2000 hours at rated power. For high-precision applications, the ...

C&K Components has enhanced its KMT Series tactile switches with halogen-free materials. Measuring just 2.6mm x 3.0mm x 0.65mm, with a 0.45mm body height, the ultra-miniature tactile switch now provides customers with a means of meeting miniaturization and ultra high reliability specifications, while also conforming to all environmental requirements.

AVX Corporation has recertified its advanced products facility in Olean, NY to AS9100, the international aerospace quality standard. AVX has an established twenty year history of supplying switch mode power supply (SMPS) stacked capacitors to the space, avionic and military industries, and maintains the largest profile of QPL items and approvals for the SMPS market. These advanced parts are uniquely suited for filtering capacitors on the input an...

austriamicrosystems, a leading global designer and manufacturer of high performance analog ICs for automotive, communication, industry and medical applications, today introduced the AS5215, a dual die automotive magnetic rotary encoder IC for safety challenging applications, such as electronic power steering systems. This solution is also based on austriamicrosystems stacked-die technology.
