Now available from DT Electronics, OKI’s mechanical multi-channel optical switches incorporate micro-optics technology to achieve a maximum of 1.5dB insertion loss, thus eliminating the need for an optical amplifier.

Finder's 4C Series comprises single-pole and two-pole relay interface modules that incorporate the company's 46 Series miniature industrial relays They are available in either screw terminal or screwless socket types.

Ideally suited for high frequency and pulse load applications Ohmite’s new TGH Series non-inductive thick film power resistor is available in 120 or 200 Watt, 2 or 4 terminal versions.

Lorlin Electronics has announced the SRLM mains voltage lock switch. Manufactured in the UK the SRLM is a rugged, RoHS compliant key operated switch for applications where security and reliability are paramount.

Now available from Aerco is the S820, a newly designed, snap-action switch from Schaltbau that is said to have many advantages over its predecessor, the popular S800 series.

With the increasing current demands of todays current hungry LEDs SeMitec has introduced an 18mA current regulating diode to its range. The E-183 delivers a constant 18mA over a voltage range of 6 to 25V.

ACAL Components has introduced SuperCap double-layer capacitors which achieve capacitance values up to 300 Farad. Developed and manufactured by WIMA, SuperCaps can be used to replace, protect or support batteries whilst offering considerably higher discharge currents.

STMicroelectronics has introduced what it says is the world’s first family of devices specifically optimized to protect the Low Noise Block (LNB) voltage regulator in satellite set-top-box applications against lightning and electrical overstress surges. The LNBTVSx-22x range provides 3kV, 4kV and 6kV optimized protection (8/20µs) devices that fully comply with the LNB supply voltage and IEC61000-4-5 protection standards.

Now in stock at Aerco is a new range of high quality fuseholders from Belling Lee designed to provide cost-effective circuit protection for commercial applications up to 30A at 600VAC.

Semtech has announced the µClamp™0506P, the industry’s first ultra-small six-line 5V protection device for portable systems. The µClamp0506P is the latest addition to Semtech’s MicroClamp product family, which now has the industry’s widest selection of line capacities – from one to six lines. The device works in any portable device, but is a natural fit for 12-button mobile phone keypads, reducing the number of protection parts need...
