Passives

As electronics continue to advance, the demand for highly reliable components is on the rise. Many modern applications also require components that offer greater power dissipation and superior pulse withstanding capabilities, all within increasingly compact case sizes.

Taiwan Semiconductor has introduced a new series of new ultra-small ESD protection devices optimized for wearables and other high-density electronic products.

Littelfuse, an industrial technology manufacturing company empowering a sustainable, connected, and safer world, has announced a product update on the C&K Switches KSC2 Sealed Tactile Switch product line.

The new GRS200 fault locator from Polar Instruments employs well-established passive analogue signature analysis to compare a faultless assembly with the board under test. 

Rutronik has expanded its SMD capacitor product portfolio with KEMET's new “across the line” SMP255 capacitor series in safety class X2 and the optimised “line to ground” SMP253E series of RFI suppression capacitors (safety class Y2).

Würth Elektronik offers WE-LHCA (Low Profile High Current Automotive Inductor) – a particularly flat and temperature-tough inductor in four sizes with different inductance values.

KOA Speer Electronics introduces the NV73S series multilayer type metal oxide varistor that handles a surge current of up to 6,000A, which is five times higher than existing products.

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced a new series of AEC-Q200 qualified thin film chip resistors that provide high-frequency performance up to 70 GHz for automotive, space, avionics, telecom, and military applications.

Saelig has announced two new ranges of Lorlin Electronics 250V-rated, panel-mount keylock switches, the DBSL and DSSL series, newly-designed to cost approximately 40% less than the existing DSL range but with the same quality.

Silicon on Insulator (SOI) technology has become an important innovation in the field of semiconductors, driving advancements in performance, power efficiency, and thermal management of electronic devices.
