The recently introduced range of high power tubular resistors from Tyco Electronics features a corrugated ribbon element on a ceramic core with a Mullite coating for a rapid cooling effect, enabling very good power handling capability from 50W up to 2500W.

Honeywell has introduced the Series 1000 pressure switch for potential hydraulic brake pressure applications. Honeywell’s Series 1000 switch excels in brake systems used in many harsh environments such as extreme weather conditions or particle-filled areas due to its IP65 sealing and high burst rating. With its high resistance to shock and vibration, this pressure switch is designed to withstand pressure spikes in critical systems.

Honeywell introduces its MICRO SWITCH™ 1HP Series pressure switch. The 1HP Series is an easily configurable pressure switch that can be rapidly customized to the precise, demanding requirements of aerospace and military applications. Offering the industry’s broadest pressure range (150 psi – 5000 psi) and a wide selection of fittings, electrical connectors, pressure set points and differentials, the 1HP series also enhances accuracy, conta...

Vishay has introduced the E102Z ultra-high-precision Bulk Metal Z-Foil resistor. The new device provides a military-grade absolute TCR of ±0.2 ppm/°C from −55°C to +125°C, +25°C ref., a tolerance from ±0.005% (50 ppm), and a load-life stability of ±0.005% (50 ppm) at +70°C for 2000 hours at rated power. The E102Z is built to handle unconventional environmental conditions with minimal drift, making it well suited for military, space,...

Zytronic’s projected capacitive technology (PCT)-based ZYBRID touch sensor has been chosen by Switch Automation for use in its patent-pending IP-Touch intercom door station. ZYBRID provides a highly dependable, low-maintenance and durable user interface that offers unrivalled protection against physical, mechanical and chemical damage.

Vishay has announced the industry's first winged low-profile, high-current inductor. Designed to be placed on a cut-out PCB, the IHLW-5050CE-01 offers designers a high-current solution using a larger part, without exceeding a profile of 1.2 mm on either side of the PC board.

Vishay has announced that it has extended the resistance tolerance of the RNC90Z family of military-established, Bulk Metal Z-Foil reliability resistors down to ±0.005%. As R level established reliability resistors, RNC90Z devices are military-qualified to MIL PRF 55182/9, the standard for military and aerospace applications requiring long-term stability. The resistors' ability to retain their initial value through temperature change, load appli...

Tyco Electronics now offers power PCB relays suitable for THR (Through-Hole-Reflow) soldering processes. Using innovative constructions featuring new plastic materials, RYII series, RT1 series and RT2 series power PCB relays are able to withstand high temperatures (up to +265degC) of reflow-soldering processes and meet modern requirements for insulation and switching capacity.

Vishay has announced the release of a new series of radial aluminum capacitors that offers very low impedance values, high capacitances, high ripple currents, and high-temperature operation up to +125°C.

Schaffner has extended its popular FN 3280 filter family for use in higher power applications. New models are now available rated at 300A, 400A and 600A. Complementing the existing series, the new filter models offer users superior EMC performance, compact dimensions and low leakage current.
