Recently introduced improved CBT series resistors from Tyco Electronics are said to provide excellent pulse withstand capabilities for circuitry associated with surges, high peak power or high energy, whilst remaining very stable. Ideal for protection against lightning strikes, advanced characteristics of the highly reliable 0.25W CBT25 and 0.5W CBT50 resistors have been achieved by selecting materials featuring optimum physical properties and by...

Semtech has announced two new additions to its RailClamp family of low capacitance protection devices that provide system designers a new option for adding critical power protection to high-speed lines without the high clamping voltage and high capacitance limitations of competing solutions. RClamp1502B and RClamp2402B are designed with an ultra-low capacitance of 0.6pF to protect high-speed data lines without signal attenuation. The devices al...

STMicroelectronics today introduced a new high-precision op-amp that benefits customers with an ultra-low input offset voltage guaranteed over a wide common-mode voltage range. This feature, added to the highly competitive cost of the TS507, makes it the ideal solution for automotive and industrial applications.

BI Technologies' SMP series is a surface mount power resistor with a power capability of up to 10W. Designed for use in high power applications in confined spaces, the SMP series boasts a small footprint and moulded SOIC package that offers superior thermal management.

Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has announced the first device in a new Ultra High Speed family of ESD protection diodes aimed at interface protection applications for high-speed data ports, for example, USB2.0 interfaces. With handheld and portable devices, including mobile phones and digital cameras, integrating ever more functionality into increasingly smaller form factors, providing electrostatic discharge protection becomes even more impor...

Lorlin Electronics has announced the launch of it’s new website. In response to the growing need for fast access to technical and commercial information the new website offers unrestricted open access to full product technical information, direct sales enquiries, franchised distributors throughout the world and latest company and product news. A full search facility has been provided to find products by either function or application.

knitter-switch, Europe’s leading switch manufacturer, announces the introduction of the DBS3000-VM dual-in-line switch which the company has designed specifically for a variety of consumer and industrial product applications.

AVX Corporation has developed what it says is the first automotive-grade conformally-coated ceramic radial leaded capacitor. Designated the AR Series, the product range encompasses NPO, X7R, and - most recently - X8R dielectrics, which allows for an extended temperature range up to 150ºC, making the parts suitable for a variety of automotive and industrial applications, including under-hood, in-cabin, and down-hole.

New surface-mount V-chip aluminium electrolytic capacitors from ACAL Components are designed to withstand reflow soldering to +260°C. Manufactured by NIC Components, the six new families of liquid electrolyte, aluminium capacitors are compatible with the Sn-Ag-Cu (SAC) alloy lead-free soldering process which has emerged as the industry-standard replacement for Sn-Pb solder alloys for RoHS-compliant products.

UK capacitor manufacturer, Syfer Technology, is a leading supplier of high voltage and high capacitance radial lead devices, not only RoHS compliant, but also with CECC approvals. The range featured in its latest catalogue extends to 5kV, but Syfer offers custom designs for specialist applications up to 10kV, if required. Such high voltage parts are essential for some medical equipment, for example, such as X-ray systems.
