  AVX has extended its TACmicrochip Series with the lowest profile 3216-footprint tantalum capacitor currently available on the market. Measuring just 0.5mm high, the first new 'I' case capacitor (EIA Metric 3216-05) is rated for 10μF and 6.3V, but will be followed by future code releases to further extend the offering.

  Stackpole’s UHV Series of chip resistors offer high precision and stability in a surface mount package that is capable of handling extremely high voltages. The voltage ranges for each size are as follows: 2010-3,000 to 6,000V, 2512-4,000 to 10KV, 3512-4,000V to 14KV, 4020-6,000V to 16KV, 5020-6,000V to 20KV.

New Yorker Electronics has announced it will be stocking the new Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) Type RA Multilayered Polymer Capacitors for 125°C operation. Type RA capacitors are constructed using stacked metalised polyester protected with an impregnated sealant, which eliminates the need for an external case. This rugged package style offers the highest energy density technology available for switching power supplies, DC to DC...

  Stackpole's CSRF Series utilises foil on ceramic technology to achieve very low values in small chip sizes. The 0.25W rated CSRF0402 - HP, for example, is available in resistance values from 20Ω down to 2.5Ω. TCR ranges from ±400ppm to ±200ppm are possible depending on resistance value with tolerances as low as one percent.

A series of Automotive Grade AC line rated ceramic disc safety capacitors that offer AEC-Q200 qualification for Class X1 (760 VAC) / Y1 (500 VAC) applications in accordance with IEC 60384-14.4. has been released by Vishay Intertechnology.

Recently introduced by global manufacturer of resistors, Stackpole, the RPC0603-HP is a high power pulse withstanding chip resistor with significantly more pulse power than a standard 0603 size chip resistor. The power rating for this part has been increased to 0.25W. In addition, the working voltage for the RPC0603-HP is 75V with an overload voltage of 150V.

Taiyo Yuden has announced the launch of its 1005-size threeterminal multilayer ceramic capacitor A3K105BBJ106MR (1.0x0.5x0.5mm, with height as the maximum value, capacitance of 10μF, and rated voltage of 4.0V). Three-terminal multilayer ceramic capacitors, which have a lower ESL than the popular two-terminal multilayer ceramic capacitors, can reduce impedance in the high frequency range and contribute to the stable operatio...

The Automotive Grade IHLP low profile, high current inductors range at Vishay Intertechnology has been expanded with a new device in the 2020 case size. The Vishay Dale IHLP-2020BZ-5A combines a high operating temperature to +155°C with a low profile of 2 mm to save space in under the hood automotive applications.

AVX Corporation has announced that several of its TWA Series axial-leaded, hermetically sealed wet electrolytic tantalum capacitors are now qualified to MIL-PRF-39006/33A. Designed to deliver high reliability, high CV performance in harsh-environment military, defence, avionics, and industrial applications, including satellites, DC/DC power supplies, power converters, bulk energy storage, and pule power circuits.

With today’s high-powered semiconductors and IGBT modules, air cooling is often an inadequate method of preventing a costly thermal breakdown. For cooling high-powered electronics, IGBT modules, lasers, wind turbines, motor devices, automotive components or medical equipment, engineers are looking to liquid cooling solutions and cold plates are a preferred method for supplying localised cooling to high-powered electronics.
