Hybrid capacitors offer lower self discharge characteristics
VINATech has launched a new family of high density 3.8V cost effective, Hybrid Super Capacitors, with ultra low Leakage Current to support its existing VLC range. EDLC Technology is being continually developed and enhanced by VINATech’s R&D Team and this has led to the new VPC series which has been developed utilising standardised EDLC production processes to reduce the costs of this advanced technology.
Space-saving resistor elminates need for heatsinks
The DCRF (Direct Water-Cooled Power Wirewound Resistor) for high-power applications from Vishay is now being stocked by New Yorker Electronics. Available in seven different lengths, the Vishay Super 12 featured product saves space by reducing the number of components required to dissipate heat.
Capacitors provide solutions for space constrained applications
A new range of Surface Mount Device (SMD) safety certified Multi Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) designed for use in mains-powered applications, have been launched by KEMET. The CAS series addresses widespread demand for miniaturisation without compromising performance by offering higher capacitance, smaller overall size and simplified assembly versus existing leaded disc devices which represent the majority of safety-certified ceramic...
Common mode filters feature integrated ESD protection
Nexperia has announced a fast common mode filter (choke)/ESD protection combination. The new PCMFxUSB3BA/C features a wide differential passband of up to 10GHz 3dB frequency and a very high surge robustness of up to 7.5A 8/20µs. It is designed to suppress common mode and single-ended noise while minimising the impact on the signal integrity of extremely fast data lines.
Inductors operate at +155°C in 1212 case size
Three new commercial IHLP low profile, high current inductors with high operating temperatures up to +155 °C in the 3.3mm by 3.3mm 1212 case size have been released by Vishay Intertechnology — the company's smallest to date. Designed to save space in computer and telecom applications, the Vishay Dale IHLP-1212AZ-51, IHLP-1212AB-51, and IHLP-1212BZ-51 offer extremely low profiles down to 1.0 mm.
Capacitors show low insertion loss up to 40GHz
Three new series of Exxelia Ultra-Broadband Dielectric Ceramic Capacitors have been introduced by New Yorker Electronics. These new broadband capacitors show low insertion loss up to 40GHz are perfect for optoelectronics, high-speed data transfers and more.
Current sense chip resistor extends value range
Stackpole has added a two milliohm resistance value to its popular CSS0603 Series. The ultra-precision 0603 metal foil is rated at 0.33W of power and the two milliohm resistance value has a TCR of ±150ppm with tolerance capability as low as one percent.
Automotive chip bead inductor operating up to 150°C
TAIYO YUDEN has announced that the mass-production of the AEC-Q200 (reliability qualification test standard for automotive passive components) qualified noise suppression component, power chip bead inductor FB Series Type T, FB TH1608 (1.6x0.8x0.8mm).
Down to the wire: A resistor’s role in laying cables
While we may associate data with being up in the clouds, it’s very much in the ocean too. Beneath our seas lie thousands of cables, tasked with carrying the world’s internet traffic. These cables form a vital communications network - and the world would seem like a much bigger place without them. What is less often considered is how these cables made it to the sea floor in the first place. Simone Bruckner, Managing Director at Cr...
RC networks absorb spark discharges
The complete series of Electrocube RC Networks ‘Arc-Suppressing’ Resistor-Capacitor (RC) Circuits is available now from New Yorker Electronics. Also known as resistors, resistor-capacitors or RC filters, Electrocube’s RC Networks are designed to prevent or substantially minimise the occurrence of arcing and noise generations in relay and switch contacts.
