Littelfuse, Inc. announced the SMFA Asymmetrical Series Surface-Mount TVS diode, the first-to-market asymmetrical TVS solution specifically designed to protect silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET gates from overvoltage events.

Applications such as testing equipment, instrumentation, medical devices, power inverters, and battery management systems demand high levels of precision and stability.

For precision applications requiring surface mount chip resistors with high power demands, self-heating often leads to elevated circuit temperatures.

Nisshinbo Micro Devices Inc. has announced the launch of its NP4271 series, a Low-Dropout (LDO) Regulator designed to improve the reliability and functional safety of automotive electronic control units (ECUs) and industrial equipment.

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor (AOS) has announced the release of its AOZ1390DI-01 and AOZ1390DI-02 ideal diode protection switches. 

Samsung Electro-Mechanics has introduced a new line of multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) designed to meet the increasing demand for high-voltage components in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. These new 1812-inch X7R MLCCs offer capacitance values ranging from 2.2nF to 470nF, with a notable rated voltage of up to 2000Vdc, making them ideal for high-voltage EV applications.

Same Sky’s Switches Group announce the expansion of its slide switches product line with the introduction of over 60 new models.

Kontron, a global provider of IoT/Embedded Computer Technology (ECT), is presenting a new railway-compatible Ethernet switch at the InnoTrans 2024 trade fair in Berlin, which offers maximum flexibility in terms of the number of individually required Ethernet ports and performance from Fast Ethernet to 10GbE thanks to its modular design.

High voltage applications often demand resistors with high resistance values that can withstand significant working and overload voltages.

Passive Plus now offers a comprehensive range of High-Q Variable capacitors including Air Tubular, Sapphire, Zirconia, PTFE, and Air Plate trimmers.
