According to KEMET it is the first and only supplier to offer both Class-I and Class-II Base Metal Electrode (BME) MultiLayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) qualified for defence and aerospace applications by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The DLA recently accepted KEMET's X7R dielectric MIL-PRF-32535 for 'M' and 'T' reliability levels.

KEMET has announced two new series of power film capacitors that meet the requirements of AEC-Q200. The C4AQ series is suited for industrial, automotive and power supply designs for DC link, DC filtering and energy storage applications, while the C4AF series addresses similar applications, but is specifically designed for harsh environments.

A high temperature wet electrolytic tantalum capacitor series has been launched by AVX. Designed for use at 230°C, the TWA-X Series wet electrolytic tantalum capacitors feature a high-capacitance cathode system that achieves high CV performance in standard case sizes and a hermetically sealed, welded tantalum can and header assembly that provides robust resistance against mechanical shock and high-frequency vibration.

Analog Devices has expanded its RadioVersef technology and design ecosystem with the industry’s widest bandwidth RF transceiver, which provides designers with a single radio platform to accelerate the deployment of 5G, sustain 2G/3G/4G coverage, and simplify phased array radar design. The ADRV9009 RF transceiver delivers twice the bandwidth (200MHz) of previous generation devices and replaces as many as 20 components, cutting power in ...

Ampleon has announced the introduction of its BLF989 RF power transistor designed for UHF broadcast applications such as DVBT and UHF analog TV. Using Ampleon’s latest Gen9HV high voltage LDMOS process, this 140W (average – 700W peak) transistor, the first broadcast device to use this process technology, offers a high operating efficiency of typically > 34% (Class AB) and is available in a ceramic SOT539 package format either with ...

Gateway Electronic Components has made a major investment to establish a ferrite core gapping service at its Nantwich, UK-based headquarters. The specialist component distributor is already seeing an array of companies using the service including OEMs, SMEs and design houses.

The MOX-HCPI-4233 Series of Flat-Wire Power Inductors from Moxie Inductor Corporation are on sale at New Yorker Electronics. The series has been designed by Moxie as a direct replacement for Coilcraft’s AGP4233 product line. Product dimensions for both devices are identical at 42mm x 35.8mm x 28mm.

New Yorker Electronics has signed an agreement with Holy Stone International to become a franchise distributor of its Multi-layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC’s), designed for Aerospace, Automotive, Lighting, Telecommunications and other applications. Through this agreement, New Yorker Electronics will use its global distribution channels to develop new opportunities for both companies.

  AVX is celebrating the continuing success of NASA’s Curiosity rover (also known as the Mars Science Laboratory), which has spent roughly 2,100 Martian solar days - or sols, which comprise 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35.244 seconds - investigating the planet’s Gale Crater since it landed on 6th August, 2012.

VadaTech has announced the AMC588, a wideband transceiver in AMC form factor. The AMC utilises four AD9371 connected to a Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA providing eight transceivers channels. The modules are suitable for SDR, SATCOM, 3G/4G micro and macro BTS, antenna systems, research and instrumentation. The AD9371 supports TDD and FDD operation, with a frequency range of 300MHz to 6GHz covering most licensed and unlicensed cellula...
