Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has expanded its family of miniature photocouplers with a new device that combines very high switching speeds with very low power operation. The TLP2066 photocoupler is ideal for applications requiring a combination of isolation, high speed data transfer and low power operation. Target applications will include logic systems in plasma panel displays (PDPs) and other digital home appliances, and high speed interfac...

Lorlin has announced the introduction of the KP range of vandal proof metal keypads. Responding to increasing demand for secure and rugged security switching these attractive metal keypads may be used in public and industrial environments for access control, vending machines and kiosks, environmental control and service access.

Murata has developed a series of ceramic resonators with built-in load capacitors to reduce component count and save space in USB 2.0 controller IC driver circuits. The new CSTCE-XT series in Murata’s Ceralock family of ceramic resonators measures just 3.2 by 1.3 by 1.0mm and is therefore extremely low profile. This series has been specially developed for USB circuitry, and is suitable for mobile phones, digital cameras, printers, keyboards and...

TTI, Inc., has announced the new improved Power Metal Strip Resistors from Vishay. Built on proprietary processing techniques, devices in this series feature extremely low resistance values down to 0.001Ω and low thermal EMF of less than 3 µV/°C.

Rapid can supply an extensive range of carbon composition and aluminium clad wirewound resistors - products designed to meet the demands of high voltage power in automotive, medical and lighting applications.

Peregrine Semiconductor has announced its UltraCMOS PE97022 and PE97042 phase locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers for satellite payload designs. The new pair of 3.5 GHz Integer-N PLLs boast an ultra-low normalized phase noise of -216 dBc/Hz, which is the lowest phase noise of any rad-hard PLL on the market today. Additionally, the two PLLs feature programmable counters, a phase comparator and +10/11 Dual Modulus Prescaler, allowing for backw...

Vishay Intertechnology has announced the release of a new thick film resistor that combines an extremely low resistance with tight tolerances and low TCR for current-sensing applications. To provide high stability for current sensing and shunt applications in dc-to-dc converters, power supplies, motor circuits, computers, and cell phones, Vishay's CRCW....-EL thick film power resistor offers an extremely low resistance range from 10mΩ to 100...

Today's commercial power supply market is acutely aware of the need to minimize the failure rates. This has led to an increased demand for high-reliability low ESR capacitors. In response, for commercial, yet high-rel applications, AVX has introduced a range of new parts within its TRJ professional series which deliver significantly lower ESR while achieving reliability levels twice that of standard tantalum devices.

Now available in the UK from Aerco is a new model in the range of two-axis, non-contacting mini displacement joysticks from Ultra Electronics MSI. The model 5000C, the world’s first joystick of this type, was launched in 2007 and the new 500C is introduced to extend the application range. It is of a more traditional design and is intended for use with finger and thumb as opposed to the 5000C that was for use with finger or thumb. In addition...

C&K Components has developed an ultra-miniature, surface mount, side-actuated DIP switch. Designated the TDP Series, the half pitch switch features a dual bifurcated wiping action that ensures reliable contact. When mounted horizontally, the side-actuation mechanism provides visual confirmation of the on/off status.
