Recently expanded to create a broader range of options for design engineers, the 3650 series of chip inductors from Tyco Electronics offers a wide range of inductance values from 1.0nH up to 4.7mH, as required by ever more demanding high frequency applications. The wide value range makes the devices an ideal choice for filtering and signal conditioning in cellular phones, global positioning systems (GPS), digital TV tuners, cordless telephones, W...

NIC Components has introduced a new range of SMT Capacitors designed to provide memory back-up under power failure conditions. The NEXC series offers the unique ability to conventionally mount this V-chip style device. NIC also offers five series of leaded parts for through-hole applications providing a breadth of range to address most applications.

A new range of interface plug-in power relays for panel board and mechanical engineering applications has recently been released by Tyco Electronics as an extension to the successful range of Schrack RT relays. New XT series plug-in relays include one pole (1 CO contact, 16A rated current) and two pole (2 CO contacts, 8A rated current) versions.

SCHURTER released today the new SMD-fuse type MGA-S meeting the standard of ESA/SCC Generic Specification No 4008 for space applications. As the sole European space fuse supplier, Schurter shows its expert competence in fuse manufacturing and the capability of handling complex fuse manufacturing technologies.

TAIYO YUDEN (U.S.A.), INC., announces a significant new addition to its expanding line-up of high-performance multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC). The nine models in the new WK series employ “reverse geometry” terminations and other design improvements to provide industry-leading performance relative to device size. WK series maximum capacitance values are, respectively, 0.47µF, 4.7µF and 10µF in the 0402, 0603 and 0805 case sizes. These ...

An innovative, small size power relay for use in photovoltaic inverters is the latest product development from Tyco Electronics for modern photovoltaic systems. The PCFN power relays enable the smooth supply of solar power to the network. In case of an emergency the devices cut the feed between the photovoltaic system and the national grid, as demanded by today’s security regulations.

Lorlin Electronics, has announced the introduction of its new MT sub-miniature rotary switch, coded the MT series. Suitable for though panel or on-PCB switching applications the MT series offers up to 8 switching positions in a 9.5mm diameter x 6.4mm high TO5 style moulded package.

Sensing and instrumentation specialist Vydas International has announced a wide range of liquid level control relays designed to detect and control the level of electrically conductive liquids in tanks, wells and containers. Manufactured by Lovato Electric, this is a simple and cost effective solution to level detection and start-up priority change control.

Avago Technologies has announced a new family of multi-channel phototransistor optocouplers to complement its existing single-channel product line. The company is a leading supplier of innovative semiconductor solutions for advanced communications, industrial and commercial applications.

Cherry Electrical Products will display its brand new DS switch at the Southern Manufacturing show in February. Fitting the mounting dimensions of popular V3 snap-action switches, devices offers increased reliability and a solid state sinking output using hall-effect technology.
