The Zero Delay Buffer ICs of PETERMANN TECHNIK use a specially developed PLL that ensure the Zero Delay between input and output signals and that effectively prevent a further jittering of the output signal. The low cost / high performance Zero Delay Buffer ICs are available in lead-free 6pad SOT23 and 8SOP packages, even in the extended temperature ranges, with supply voltages from 2.5 or 3.3 VDC.

Avago Technologies has announced an expansion of its solid state relay (MOSFET) family of opto-isolation products. The company is a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications. With input drive as low as 2mA and fast switching speeds of less than 0.5ms, Avago's new ASSR-301C/302C and ASSR-401C/402C are specifically designed for sensing and multiplexing applications, such as test and mea...

Now available in the UK from Quadrant is a range of high-performance, IP65 rated rocker switches from Marquardt, an independently owned German company that was formed in 1925 and is based in Reitheim-Weilheim.

The European distributor ECOMAL is now offering the new Shindengen US-KB family of products, which sets new standards in rated and peak current performance. 10, 15 and 30 amp versions have been added to the familiar range of 4, 6 and 8 amp versions. Due to low AC line impedance, rectifiers which are connected to the AC input often have to be protected against excessive inrush current which flows when large are uncharged. An external protective re...

Today’s electronic components have to meet very stringent requirements to ensure that they are able withstand the stress of automotive and other hightemperature applications combined with high levels of vibration. Large electrolytic capacitors which are used to store energy cause problems, as they are the only components with wire leads in many applications. The European distributor ECOMAL has reacted to this situation by adding innovative Fro...

ACAL Radiatron announces the immediate availability of the industry’s smallest and lowest-cost high-current, sealed contactor rated for operation up to 500 amps. Weighing just 0.43kg, the Kilovac EV200 is also the lightest product in its class.

International distributor ECOMAL based in Berkshire, UK announced a further variation of a smallest SMD multi-turns trimmer to its program of Nidec Copal Electronics. The latest model SM-31, is 5 turns smallest SMD trimmer in addition to the existing SM-3, 11 turns and is RoHS compliant and lead-free soldering compatible. Measuring only at 3.9 x 3.9 x 3.2 mm, SM-31 is ideal for applications that have space constraint but requires precise adjustme...

The European distributor ECOMAL has introduced the first Schottky barrier rectifiers from Vishay Technology which use trench MOS technology. These devices appear in the equivalent circuit diagram as an MOS element and Schottky metal in parallel. New environmental guidelines including EUP (Energy – Using – Products 2005/32/EC), which are intended to save as much energy as possible and minimize the tolerable losses in the overall system, requir...

For anyone who requires low resistance together with small inductance for the precise measurement of current, the TLR chiptype current sensing resistors from KOA are particularly suitable. The series covers the sizes from 1206 (0.5 W) to 2512 (2W), with resistance values from 1 mOhm to 20 mOhm.

The new PSI and PSB series power shunts from KOA are particularly suited for the precise measurement of high currents. The rated power of the metal plate design resistors ranges from 3 to 6 watts at 105 °C termination temperature, and some models offer reliability benefits in high temperature and power load cycling environments by a specially designed shape of the landing pads. Typical applications comprise ECUs, inverters, and industrial auto...
