Schurter's 3-phase line filters, the series FMAC ECO and FMBC ECO, are especially suited for use in drive systems, engineering installations and places where frequency inverters cause electromagnetic disturbances.

Vishay Intertechnology has announced a IHLP low-profile, high-current inductor in the 2020 case size. The compact IHLP-2020BZ-11 offers an ultra-low 2.0-mm profile, with a wide inductance range and low DCR.

The new RZ series of General Purpose Relays from Tyco Electronics has been developed from Tyco Electronics’ classic RT relay, which defined the global market for this type of relay. Ideal for modern applications like household appliances, building automation (e.g. garage door controls), heating (e.g. boiler controls), timers, industrial controllers, and POS automation, next generation RZ series relays offer one pole with 12A or 16A current rati...

C&K Components has developed a miniature surface-mount reed detect switch designed for long life and ease-of-use. Designated the RS Series, the detect switch is a miniature reed detect component with an electrical life of one million cycles.

Hongfa’s HF115FP interface relay from Switchtec has a lockable test button, mechanical flag indicator and a LED that are all supplied as standard. These features are common across Hongfa’s whole range of interface relays.

Two block-type dielectric RF filters for telecoms basestation applications have been added to Murata's GIGAFIL range. The filters have been designed for cellular basestation applications which use a digital pre-distortion amplifier (DPD), as they feature a wide pass band and flat ripple performance, which are required for DPD PA design.

Vishay Intertechnology has announced a new IHLP low-profile, high-current inductor in the 2020 case size. The compact IHLP-2020CZ-11 offers an ultra-low 3.0-mm profile, with a wide inductance range and low DCR.

C&K Components has developed a surface-mount, micro-miniature, snap-acting detect switch with extended life cycles. Designed for ATCA applications, the MDS Series device joins C&K’s family of detect switches including the SDS Series, SDT Series and HDT Series components. C&K has also become a member of PICMG, a group of companies collaborating to develop open specifications for high-performance telecom and industrial computing a...

AVX Corporation has introduced the MH Series of high CV ceramic capacitors for commercial and high-reliability applications. Developed by mounting an MLCC in a molded surface mount leadframe, the MH Series provides a ceramic capacitor that combines the attributes of ceramic devices, low ESR, non-polar construction, high frequency behavior, excellent voltage stress capabilities and wide temperature range, with the enhanced mechanical protection of...

Epson Toyocom has succeeded in commercially developing an extremely thin kHz-band crystal unit. The new tuning-fork crystal unit, called the FC-13E, has a maximum thickness of just 0.48 mm.
