Passives

Somewhat against the industry trend, the latest designs of surface mount chip capacitors available from leading UK passive component manufacturer, Syfer Technology, can be supplied with traditional tin/lead terminations.

knitter-switch’s TSSJ 55 is an ultra-flat, surface-mount, RoHS compliant multi-function device that will find wide application where space is at a premium and where designers can maximise the versatility of this five position switch.

New to knitter-switch’s range of rotary switch products is the SMR 1-30 surface-mount microminiature switch. With a body size of just 5mm² x 3mm high, the new switch is one of the smallest rotary switches available and will suit those applications where size and reliability are important.

A new series of stackable DIP switches has been announced by knitter-switch. The SBS 5000 series switches are RoHS compliant, leadfree reflow solderable and offer a long mechanical life of 2000 operations minimum per pole.

knitter-switch's TMSE micro-miniature tact switches are designed for a variety of applications in industrial automation where an ultra-small, rugged and waterproof switch is required.

knitter-switch's TSSJ 5 is a five direction, surface mount switch that needs a board area of just 7.4mm x 7.4mm and which features a total height of only 4.5mm.

Semtech announces the uClamp™3304A, a 3.3V electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device with the performance needed for next-generation portable designs, and packaged in an ultra small SC-89 package that is pin compatible with 5V protection devices for a simplified board design.
