knitter-switch says its MERP12 rotary encoders have been designed to replace traditional rotary potentiometers in a wide range of applications and have the added benefit of being illuminated. The new MERP12 range will interest designers currently working on broadcast and professional audio equipment in addition to next generation building automation systems and test and measurement instruments. Rotary encoders offer significant operational benefi...

EAO is now offering a switch with multicoloured ‘halo’ illumination for creating highly flexible displays. The Series 84 PCB range of pushbuttons and indicators opens up new possibilities for illuminated control panels. A wide spectrum of different colours can be generated from a single switch by utilizing the possibility to combine up to 10 different coloured LEDs in one unit: eight around the lens and one bi-colour in the middle.

Responding to continued market demand for standard Sn/Pb components, TT electronics IRC continues to offer 80% of its product lines in both RoHS-compliant and standard Sn/Pb versions. IRC’s products available in both materials include current sense resistors, precision discretes, networks, and integrated passive components. The extensive product offering suits a number of application demands, while providing shorter lead times due to the avail...

Honeywell has announced that its MICRO SWITCH EX Series Hazardous Location line of switch products has received the International Electrotechnical Commission's Certification to Standards relating to Equipment for use in Explosive Atmospheres (IECEx). With this international certification, Honeywell's global customers know that their explosion-proof switches meet the IEC's high standards for equipment used in explosive atmospheres.

AVX has developed a series of ultra thin ceramic capacitors targeted at applications where low profile is vital, such as smart cards, high-density SIM cards, and memory modules. Designated the UT Series, the ultra-thin parts have the same footprint as 0402 devices, but are only as thick as conventional 0201 products. In addition, the advanced capacitors retain the same voltage and capacitance ratings as the standard 0402 capacitors.

The vandal-proof latching action switch MSM LA from Schurter has been redesigned and is now also available with point illumination. For indicating the switching status or for providing visibility during night-time use, point and ring illuminated versions in red, green and blue are available. Different types of contacts offer a range of permissible switching voltages up to 125 VDC / 250 VAC. All options for the MSM LA are available in single-pole ...

Using metal resistive elements made from Nickel-Chromium or Cupron (Manganin-Copper) the new MCS Series of SMD flip chip resistors from Ohmite have a very low TCR of <50ppm/°C over the range of current sense values which are popular in portable, battery operated equipment and power supplies.

Cherry Electrical Products’ KC, KF and KD round waterproof switches comply with IP56 or IP65 specifications to provide a cost-effective solution for the vast number of applications requiring protection from water and dust ingress, such as garden sprayers, powered garden tools, lawnmowers, on and off-road vehicles and medical equipment. Three product families are available: the KD and KC series of round rocker switches and the KF switch series...

AVX has developed a Zinc Oxide based varistor series that exhibits a low leakage current of 2μA maximum. Designated the UltraGuard Series, the multilayer ceramic varistors feature non-linear, bi-directional voltagecurrent characteristics similar to back-to-back zener diodes and an EMC capacitor in parallel.

Premo has recently been approved by one of the top three defense manufacturers in Israel as a preferred supplier for feedthrough filters to be installed on Army Shelters. Feedthrough filters are commonly used when reliability and performance in high frequency applications are needed.
