Aerco now stocks three models in the popular range of multi-axis, Ultra MSI joysticks that are fully RoHS compliant and can therefore be used in a far wider range of application areas. The 501C and the 5000C are RoHS compliant joysticks that use Hall Effect technology to provide many benefits over traditional potentiometer and inductive joystick designs.

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today introduced the new VPR221Z ultra-high-precision Z-Foil resistor. The new device provides an industrial-grade absolute TCR of ±0.05ppm/°C from 0°C to +60°C and ±0.2ppm/°C from -55°C to +125°C, +25°C ref., a power rating up to 8W at +25°C per MIL-PRF-39009 (1.5W in free air), an excellent power coefficient (due to self heating) of ±4ppm/W typical, and a tolerance of ±0.01%.

As an alternative to electronic sensors, the Matsuo MQT thermostat offers UPS system installers a simpler and more cost-effective solution. Matsuo thermostats have a unique twin-bimetal system that creates a control which is capable of switching over 1 million cycles.

Murata has announced the latest addition to its EMIFIL range of tiny common mode choke coils, the DLP11SA101HL2. The coil is designed to minimise electromagnetic interference (EMI) in HDMI and similar high speed differential signal lines, and features a high 6GHz cut-off frequency, making it ideal for use in 1080p applications. Its small (1.25x1x.82mm) 0504 size case and industry leading specification enables board space to be freed up without de...

Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has launched a range of miniature digital output magnetic sensors that combine high levels of sensitivity with low power operation. The TCS10xxx- family of devices is ideally suited to non-contact switching applications including open/close sensing for home appliances, digital cameras and mobile phones.

Vishay Intertechnology has released a compact new 4-line ESD-protection array designed to provide a low capacitance with a high surge current for the protection of dual high-speed USB ports, or up to four other high-frequency signal lines, against transient voltage signals.

Dengrove has announced the introduction of high-value multilayer ceramic chip capacitors of significantly reduced size, by comparison with conventional, equivalent components. These highly compact MLCCs are available in values of 100µF and 47µF, ±20%, in 1206 and 0805 package sizes.

Torex Semiconductor has introduced the XC25BS8 Series of PLL clock generator ICs with built-in crystal oscillator circuit, divider circuit and multiplier PLL circuit. Suitable for low voltage and battery-powered applications of between 2.5V and 5.5V, the devices can generate a high frequency output from an input as low as 8kHz by multiplying the input up to 4095 times.

AVX has developed extreme high temperature stacked ceramic capacitors that save board space and can handle harsh and rugged operating environments. Designated the SMX and CHX Series, the stacked ceramic capacitors were specifically designed to function in extreme temperature transitions and high transient voltage applications including down-hole oil drilling, undersea explorations, engine controls, avionics, hybrid vehicles and aerospace.

C&K Components has developed a family of miniature slide switches designed specifically for applications where height or surface area is restricted. Including the AYZ, JS, JSM and PCM Series devices, the ultra-low profile slide switches are suitable for momentary or momentary and latched operation.
