Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today introduced the new PLT series of precision low-TCR thin film resistors. The devices feature a low standard TCR of ± 5 ppm/°C and tolerances down to ± 0.02 % over a wide temperature range of - 55 °C to + 125 °C.

Murata has increased the capacitance and reduced the cost of its GB series of monolithic ceramic capacitors for power supply primary circuits. These parts are the first monolithic capacitors aimed at power supply primary circuit applications to achieve 56nF capacitance. The cost was also reduced by 15% over previous models by replacing the precious metals like silver that were used for the electrodes with a base metal such as nickel.

C&K Components, a leading international supplier of tact switches, toggle, rocker and pushbutton switches, and smart card interconnect devices, has developed a new series of micro-miniature, side-actuated detect switches. Designated the GDS Series, the ultra low profile detect switches can be actuated from either the X or Y axes, providing maximum versatility in a variety of applications.

knitter-switch has added to its SSP series of sub-miniature pushbutton switches with the introduction of a new switch designed specifically for use with mobile multimedia devices, portable medical devices and a variety of test and measuring instruments.

Providing design engineers with high stability, high temperature devices for demanding environments, TT electronics IRC has developed a series of high temperature thick film chip resistors. Designated the HTC Series, the chip resistors feature an operating temperature to +200°C and are available in standard chip sizes including 1206, 2010 and 2512 packages.

SCHURTER now offers overvoltage protection components, thereby making it possible for users to obtain all components required for the electrical protection of their electronic appliances from one source.

Penny + Giles has launched its new robust, finger-tip JC3000 joystick controller suitable for various applications including Radio Remote Controls and general off-highway vehicle applications. The compact joystick comes with a range of user-defined features, enabling OEMs to integrate it with safe and reliable control systems.

Said to offer 4 times the ESD protection of competitive solutions, Intersil’s ISL54230 octal switch provides a simple, space-efficient way to interconnect baseband chip, application processor, internal SIM cards and other support chips in full-featured SmartPhones. The ISL54230’s small size and flexibility allows designers to optimize the routing of the many different types of signals found in high-feature-set cell phone products.

Welwyn Components W20 series vitreous enamelled wirewound resistors are said to deliver rugged, dependable power handling for automotive electronics and other equipment used in harsh or hostile environments. These resistors benefit from a proprietary lead free vitreous enamel coating, which requires no flame-retardant additives and provides superior environmental protection. They can be used in products meeting strict regulations on disposal, su...

The product range features high-precision, low-cost and high-performance SMD crystals in a wide selection of housings and specially designed for Texas Instruments (Chipcon) wireless ICs.
