Marl has expanded its range of lightweight aluminium LEDs aimed at weight critical portable equipment and aerospace applications. These LEDs are up to 30% lighter than brass or steel cased equivalents. Marl has extended the standard voltage range of its popular 612 Series, offering voltages from 5V to 60V from stock. With a black anodised aluminium housing sealed to IP67, the 612 Series is suitable for demanding applications including those inv...

knitter-switch produces a wide range of encoders designed specifically for applications in the consumer, industrial and automotive industries. Described by some as rotary pulse switches, encoders are compact electromechanical devices which convert rotary motion into a digital pulse or signal.

At 32mm diameter the MP0050 is the largest in Bulgin’s extensive range of vandal resistant switches. Manufactured from Stainless Steel it is designed to complement the other switches in the range and is available with flush and protruding buttons.

Now available from Tyco Electronics is a range of highly stable and reliable metal oxide resistors providing high power in a small package. New RR series resistors are ideal for pulse applications in adverse conditions and are available in three different sizes with power ratings of 1, 2 and 3W for a voltage range from 350 up to 750Volts. Highly temperature resistant the devices feature a resistance range from 0.22Ω up to 1MΩ.

Vishay Intertechnology has announced that it has extended its 298D series of MicroTan solid tantalum chip capacitors to offer an industry-best capacitance-voltage rating in the molded 0402 package size. Leveraging the patented MAP (multi-array packaging) assembly technology, Vishay's 298D MicroTan capacitors have been extended to offer high capacitance-voltage ranges from 4.7μF-4V to 10μF-4V in the ultra-compact 1.0-mm x 0.5-mm 0402 K-...

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced the new VCS1625Z ultra-high-precision Z-Foil surface-mount current sensing chip 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., an excellent power coefficient (ΔR due to self heating) of ±5ppm at rated power, and a tolerance of ±0.2%. While typical current sensing resistors offer a load-life st...

Innovative developments in ceramics materials and manufacturing technology have led to significant extensions in the range of high voltage multilayer, surface mount chip capacitors, available from Syfer Technology. The ability to reduce package size or increase capacitance range in the same package size will prove critical to meeting today’s tight design constraints.

Vishay Intertechnology has announced the release of the industry's first professional automotive thin film chip resistor in the 0603 case size to combine a high operating temperature to +175°C (1000 hours) and an advanced level of rated power.

Vishay Intertechnology has announced that has extended its TANTAMOUNT Hi-Rel COTS T97 series to offer the industry’s first solid tantalum chip capacitor with a 63-V rating to meet derating requirements in +28-V power supply designs.

Murata has introduced what it says is the world’s first 0.9 x 0.6mm (0302) 1.0μF 2-element capacitor array, part number GNM0M2R60E105M. This new 0302-size 2-element capacitor array has achieved 1.0μF per element, which is unprecedented even for a single 0.6 x 0.3 mm (0201) device.
