Finder has announced a complete redesign of its 11 Series of modular light dependent relays. For automatic control of lighting according to ambient light levels detected by an external photoelectric sensor, the 11 Series now comprises four compact rail mounted relays designed to optimise control schemes and boost energy saving.

Vishay Intertechnology has announced the VHP100, a new hermetically sealed ultra-high-precision Bulk Metal Foil resistor with such a low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) that a new definition, “window,” has been introduced by Vishay. The window definition requires that the absolute resistance remain within the stated window over the temperature range specified.

In response to rising customer demand, Europe’s premier manufacturer of ceramic multilayer capacitors, Syfer Technology, has announced additions to its UL and TÜV approved surge and safety capacitor product ranges. Syfer’s capacitor solutions for transient and surge protection are used extensively in networked and mains-based electronic equipment, in a wide range of industry sectors, providing valuable protection against lightning strikes an...

TT electronics Welwyn Components has extended its portfolio of precision resistors with a range of high-voltage planar resistors rated from 5 to 40kV in air. Offering nominal values from 1K0 to 40G, the new PHVP family is available in precision grades to ±0.05%, with temperature coefficients as low as 10ppm/°C. The non-inductive, non-magnetic design delivers voltage coefficients down to -0.05ppm/V.

The NEXC series are SMT double-layer capacitors designed to provide memory back-up under power failure conditions. They are now available from Texim Europe.

Honeywell Sensing and Control has added a new video to its library of Dr. Larry informational videos on its website (www.honeywell.com/sensing ). The new video on MICRO SWITCH technology demonstrates how basic switches work, and what to look for in a high-quality electromechanical switch.

AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of advanced passive components and interconnect solutions, has developed application specific multilayer varistors for automotive, industrial, military, mobile handset, telecommunication, heavy equipment, appliance, and consumer product applications. AVX can also design and manufacture custom varistors if the design requires specific performance and environmental characteristics not available in the standar...

CUI Devices announces the release of a line of flexible mechanical encoders that can be configured into over 1,000 different versions. The 2-bit quadrature ACZ series is available in three sizes: 11 mm (ACZ11), 12 mm (ACZ12), and 16 mm (ACZ16). The encoders have a rotational life of up to 100,000 cycles and are rugged, utilizing metal material where similar models would use plastic. This series is ideal in applications for audio, aircraft, medica...

The Series EC7 LED illuminated Encoders extend the product range of GREATECS. These Encoders contain a clear shaft illuminated by high-quality LEDs. This new series finds many applications in studio technology, household appliances and automation technology.

To meet derating requirements in +28-V power supply designs, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today announced that it has extended its TANTAMOUNT Hi-Rel COTS T83, low-ESR TR3, and standard industrial grade 293D series of solid tantalum chip capacitors to offer ratings up to 63 V, the highest voltage available in the industry for this device type.
