TTI has added the CB10 series carbon economy trimmers from Tyco to its range of products. The cost effective, versatile devices offer stable environmental characteristics, a key feature of this new series.

Manufactured by TVS Cherry – a 50/50 joint venture between Cherry Electrical Products and the TVS Group, one of India’s largest industrial conglomerates – is a new range of panel mount solid state relays, designed for use in applications such as motor controls, traffic lights and vending machines.

Finder has announced the new 10 Series light dependent relays, which have the ability to control lighting according to ambient light levels. These relays will be of particular interest to designers, specifiers and installers both of lighting and of lighting control systems, and will find applications in the automatic control of exterior lighting around factories, loading bays, schools, offices and similar areas where lighting is required for secu...

AVX Corporation has introduced its FFVS range of medium power capacitors which feature very high frequency operation and the lowest stray inductance of any product on the market. Suitable for applications such as very high frequency ripple (>100kHz) DC filtering for induction heating, the devices exhibit an inductance of less than 10nH on certain models.

TAIYO YUDEN has announced the NR6028 series of 6mm x 6mm x 2.8 mm height (max) wire-wound power inductors for DC-DC converter choke coil applications in LCD / plasma TVs and other flat panel displays (FPDs). The 13 models in the NR6028 series (see product table below) offer an excellent selection of low DC resistance (0.013 - 0.6 Ohms), high inductance (0.9 - 100 µH), high current ratings (0.62 - 6.6 A) and improved performance versus previous ...

TVS Cherry – a 50/50 joint venture between specialist electromechanical components and systems manufacturer Cherry Electrical Products and the TVS Group, one of India’s largest industrial conglomerates – now offers a wide variety of bespoke switching and sensing solutions for diverse markets including automotive, white goods, vending machines, switch gear and industrial controls.

C&K’s new SDT series micro-mini, surface mount detect switches have a pendulum-style construction sitting just 3.3 mm off the board. The pendulum-style actuation allows devices to be actuated from either side or the top.

SCHURTER is Switzerland’s first manufacturer to be awarded the official ESA/ESCC (European Space Agency) qualifi-cation for its MGA-S SMD fuse. It complies with ESA/ESCC Generic Specification No. 4008 for use in space.

Murata has introduced what it says is the world's smallest ferrite beads. Designed for EMI filter applications in DC power lines, these components will help to reduce board space without compromising on performance.

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced the new hermetically sealed VHP203 miniature ultra-high-precision Z-Foil resistor. The new device provides a low 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, a tolerance of ±0.001% (10ppm), and a load-life stability of ±0.002% (20ppm).
