Vishay has announced a new Power Metal Strip battery shunt resistor that combines a 36-W power capability in the 8518 size package with extremely low resistance values down to 100 µΩ. The WSBS8518 battery shunt resistor features a proprietary processing technique that produces extremely low resistance values of 100 µΩ, 125 µΩ, and 250 µΩ. This provides increased accuracy in battery shunt applications for gas, diesel, hybri...

Semtech has announced two additions to its MICROClamp family of protection devices, the uClamp 0511T and the uClamp 1211T – both of which feature the ultra low profile, low leakage and low capacitance needed for mobile phone and portable designs. Both parts are designed to replace multilayer varistors (MLVs) in portable applications, offering the same small size with improved clamping voltage and protection. The bidirectional uClampxx11T parts...

Foremost Electronics has announced the introduction of two vandal resistant metal keypads. Responding to increasing demand for secure and rugged security switching these compact, low profile, metal keypads may be used in public and industrial environments for access control, security, data-entry, vending machines and kiosks, environmental control and service access. The keypads are ideal for use in low light conditions as they feature LED illumin...

The WK73 wide terminal resistor is now available in size 1206 (3216 metric). The 90° rotated design has several advantages compared to standard resistor footprints. The 3 times higher power rating of 750mW is the most visible. It is based on the improved heat dissipation through the solder joint. The much higher terminal strength of the WK73 relates to the bigger solder pad. Additionally the lower distance between the terminals results in less e...

AVX has received Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) approval for its TBW Series fused tantalum chip. Providing low equivalent series resistance (ESR), the TBW tantalum fuse is ideal for safe low impedance power supply filtering. The TBW Series features a fast-acting and failsafe internal fuse element, making it well suited to mission-critical applications where fail-safe operation is needed, such as avionic power supplies and power distributio...

C&K Components has developed a series of compact two-position slide switches. Designated the OS Series, the RoHS-compliant miniature slide switches feature a flexible design for easy integration into standard and custom mobile communication devices and accessories, as well as test and measurement equipment, computer peripherals and network products.

Finder has introduced a compact 2 pole, 8A relay interface module for safety critical circuits. Conforming to the EN50205 type B standard, the 48.12 features forcibly guided changeover contacts (1 NO and 1 NC) to enable positive monitoring of switching contact states and large physical separation between adjacent contacts to remove any risk of flashover.
