SCHURTER’s TA35 series breakers are available in 1-, 2- or 3-pole arrangements. The rocker-actuating switch can be supplied either with or without illumination, in several colors and with various legends or customer specific symbols.

Vishay Intertechnology has announced a toroidal, high-current, high-temperature inductor that offers the industry's highest rated and saturation current, and the industry’s lowest inductance and DCR.

Vishay Intertechnology has announced the release of the ACAS 0612 AT automotive precision thin film chip resistor array, which is tested according to AEC-Q200 and offers a 1000-V ESD stability rating. The device is optimized to meet new automotive industry requirements for temperature and humidity, while offering high repeatability and stable performance for industrial, telecommunication, and consumer electronics.

Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4218 Hot Swap Controller for protecting boards with load supply voltages ranging from 2.9V to 26.5V. When a board is plugged into a backplane, large inrush currents can create a glitch on the load supply causing other boards on the bus to malfunction. The LTC4218 enables safe board insertion and removal from a live backplane, using an external N-channel pass MOSFET in the power path to limit the inrush curr...

Vishay Intertechnology has announced the release of the new TR8 series of molded MicroTan tantalum chip capacitors that provide ultra-low ESR values of 0.8Ω (at 100kHz and 47μF) in the 0805 case size, and an industry-low 1.5Ω in the 0603 case size.

Leading electronic components distributor, Focus EDL, announces the PG0702NL series of flat-coil surface mount (SMT) power inductors. Manufactured by Pulse, these inductors have a low DCR of 0.89 to 5.9 mΩ and a tight tolerance of ± 6% for higher efficiency. Inductance values range from 0.40 to 3.0 μH with a peak saturation of 15 to 45A.

Following demand from the plasma cell flat panel display and power supply markets, Murata has extended the maximum operating temperature rating of its popular HiCap series from 85C to 125C. This has been achieved largely through the development of new ceramic materials.

C&K Components has developed a variety of detect switches for use in ATCA (Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture) applications. Designated the MDS Series, SDS Series, SDT Series and HDT Series, the detect switches are implemented on the server blade as a safety mechanism to guarantee the blade is powered down, while ensuring no data is lost.

Vishay Intertechnology has announced an ultra-high-precision Z-Foil audio resistor that features a special design for increased clarity. The device provides a low typical TCR of ±0.2ppm/°C from -55°C to +125°C, +25°C ref., an excellent PCR (ΔR due to self heating) of 5ppm at rated power, an absolute tolerance of 0.01%, and current noise of

Leading electronic components distributor, Focus EDL, introduces the Z-301LS in-line xDSL filter. Produced by Pulse and available under its Excelsus brand, the new filter is small, economical and is designed to be compatible with VDSL2. Capable of filtering frequencies up to 30 MHz, it improves the performance of digital subscriber line (DSL) services by filtering all telephone sets, fax machines, answering machines, and other services through ...
