TTI has Vishay’s new WSMS5515 Power Metal Strip meter shunt resistor that offers 3W power capability in the 5515 size package, with extremely low resistance values down to 100µΩ. The new device also features very low resistance values from 100 to 500 µΩ, which provides increased accuracy in current meter shunt applications for industrial and residential electronic power meters.

The E-T-A type 3130 is a range of double-pole combined rocker switches and re-settable thermal circuit breakers available in the UK from Aerco that, because it has several functions combined in a single component, saves space on control panels and similar equipment while reducing inventory and installation costs.

Vishay Intertechnology has released a compact new double-diode ESD-protection array designed to protect dual high-speed USB ports or up to two other high-frequency signal lines against transient voltage signals.

Ohmite has launched its first Metal Foil resistor series designed to meet the demands, among other applications, of manufacturers of battery powered devices who are looking for tight tolerances for the accurate measurement of current draw and a low TCR so that the resistor value will not drift too much as temperatures increase.

The requirements on product reliability in the automotive sector are among the toughest in industry. Targeting these demands KOA introduced the chip Varistor series NV73DL for automotive applications. The complete AEC-Q200 test data is available now for the new Varistor series.

The latest addition to Murata's PRF family of chip ceramic thermistors (POSISTORs) is the PRF18xx5RB series, designed for overheat detection of power FETs in point of load (POL) DC-DC converters and other power supply applications. Each part has two temperature sensing points and features characteristic curves that rise very sharply. The series has a resistance of 470 at 25C, rising to 4.7K between 65 and 145C, rising further to 47k between 80 an...

Specialist electronics distributor Live Electronics has added Idec’s RJ series relays. At only 12.5mm wide they are ideal for use in areas where space is limited.

ACCES I/O Products announces the latest addition to its impressive line of USB/104 I/O modules – Model USB-IDIO-16. The unit features 16 individually optically isolated inputs and 16 fully protected solid state FET outputs capable of switching up to 2A each. The USB-IDIO-16 is fully compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports and offers hotplug functionality for quick connect/disconnect whenever you need additional I/O on your USB port. The ...

Analog Devices is expanding its family of digital isolation products with a series of four-channel devices that isolate both data and power. Each device integrates ADI’s iCoupler digital isolation technology and ADI’s proprietary isoPower dc-to-dc converter, providing both isolated power and isolated signal channels within a single package.
