AVX Corporation has developed new radial and axial leaded multilayer ceramic capacitors that offer high capacitance levels of up to 1.0microF at 50V and 100V in SR21 radial and 3.3microF at 10V in an SA10 axial configuration. New SkyCap series radial leaded ceramic capacitors are an extension of the existing SR21 family, which provide increased efficiency by allowing very high capacitances at around half the previously available package volume. S...

Now available from AVX Corporation are capacitor arrays featuring FLEXITERM soft termination. Like standard and multi layer ceramic capacitors, arrays will crack under excessive board flexure. However, FLEXITERM arrays can withstand over twice the PCB deflection of standard MLC devices without cracking.

The first of Bulgin's new range is a compact switch extending less than 21mm behind the panel. These single pole, momentary, push to make switches are rated at 2A, 48Vdc and are capable of 100,000 operations at full load and 1,000,000 mechanical operations. There are three button styles; flush, domed and prominent, and all switch variants have screw terminals. The MP0042 is manufactured in stainless steel with a polished finish. The MP0044 is man...

To meet the fast growing and high potential demand in the converging consumer/communications/IT sector, Murata has announced a number of innovative extensions to its CSTCE range of Ceralock ceramic resonators. Designed to operate as clock oscillators or timing control circuits for microprocessor based equipment, ceramic oscillators are increasingly replacing quartz crystal devices due to their smaller size and built in load capacitance. Operati...

A supply partnership between Barnbrook Systems and Aerco ensures that over 400 lines of the hermetically sealed relays and bases designed for the military and aerospace markets are available from Aerco. Many lines are available from stock.

Semtech Corp has announced the EClamp239xP, the newest addition to Semtech’s EMIClampTM protection portfolio. The EClamp239xP is a series of inductor-capacitor (L-C) protection devices featuring greater attenuation, steeper amplitude roll-off, and lower clamping voltage needed for high-performance color LCD interfaces in GSM and CDMA-based 3G handsets. The EClamp239xP series includes the four-line EClamp2394P, the six-line EClamp2396P and the ...

A range of ring type Crompton Instruments Current Transformers with one metre flying leads, suitable for primary currents from 60 up to 2500A with 5A secondaries, has recently been released by Tyco Electronics.

NIC Components’ comprehensive portfolio of passive components now includes safety agency certified surface mount chip fuses. The NFCC, NFHC and NFSC series provide an ultra-miniature solution to circuit protection applications in a wide range of electronics equipment.

Lorlin Electronics has announced the introduction of the WRL series of waterproof miniature key operated lock switches. Sealed to IP66 and IP67 these single or double pole snap-fit switches may be operated by a single common key or one of up to 200 different combinations. Manufactured at Lorlin’s own factory in the UK, the WRL waterproof lock switch is a compact, rugged design, simple to mount, occupies a small panel area and projects less tha...
