Providing telecom/datacom system designers with the industry’s smallest 3.3V working voltage protection device rated for 100A GR-1089 intra-building lightning surge, the new TClamp 3302N, a 3.3V, low-capacitance TVS device from Solid State Supplies delivers superior electrical performance, yet uses almost five times less board space than competitive devices

A campaign for quality – In times of economic strife and worry, it all too often falls on purchasing teams to cut costs by sourcing cheaper component parts. Is this just a short term saving that will come back to haunt you in the long term? Devlin Electronics believe many of us have more than a few component skeletons in the closet.

Vishay Intertechnology has announced that it has extended the capabilities of its 140 CRH series of surface-mount aluminum capacitors to offer very high capacitance values and ripple currents. A polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a non-solid, self-healing electrolyte, the 140 CRH is ideally suited for filtering, smoothing, buffering, and voltage decoupling applications in automotive and industrial systems for high ambient temperatures...

Specialist electronics distributor Live Electronics is introducing a broad range of pushbutton switches from Otto Engineering. Available in a massive choice of styles across 19 ranges with a wide choice of body, button and termination configurations to cover a huge range of applications, the switches are designed for use in the most rugged of situations and sealed to IP68.

Devlin Electronics has announced that the US series of ultra miniature slide switches are available in volume directly from stock. Manufactured in Japan the switches feature gold plated, bifurcated and sealed contacts with a typical operating life of over one hundred thousand operations. Robust design and long life cycles have seen the US series deployed in a wide range of environments including the audio broadcast industry, instrumentation and m...

Vishay Intertechnology has announced the improved S series of high-precision Bulk Metal foil (BMF) resistors, which provide a military-grade typical TCR of ±2ppm/°C from -55°C to +125°C, +25°C ref., tolerance of ±0.005%, and load life stability of ±0.005% for more than 10,000 hours.

Developed for applications including office equipment, medical, audio and test and measurement, a new range of PCB mount solid state relay products is now available from Cherry Electrical Products UK. Manufactured by TVS Cherry – a 50/50 joint venture between Cherry Electrical Products and the TVS Group, one of India’s largest industrial conglomerates – the SSRs delivering high quality performance at low prices.

TTI has added the TRJ series of tantalum chip from AVX to its range of products. The TRJ professional series capacitors deliver significantly lower ESR, whilst achieving reliability levels twice that of standard tantalum devices. Leakage current is reduced to 75% that of standard tantalum specifications.

Murata's LQW21H series of chip inductors maintains high Q of at least 35 in the FM band, whilst offering high inductance and small size. It enables designers working with FM circuits to miniaturise their designs without compromising on performance. This series is designed for any FM band application where board space is critical, for example, TV tuners for mobile devices.

The new CR series of panel mount rocker switches from C&K Components feature a unique round actuator and body, making them ideally suited for small and large appliances, office equipment, computers, peripherals and other applications.
