Passives

  ProTek Devices has introduced a new series of ultra-low capacitance (0.6pF typical) transient voltage suppressor arrays for overvoltage circuit protection in smartphones and other portable electronics. The new series is also suited for Ethernet, USB interface and wireless systems.

In this Episode, John Magyar talks about embedded components and the differences between SMT passive, SMT active, embedded passives and embedded actives.

  The GBS Series Vitreous Resistors with Corrugated Ribbon from Vishay can now be sourced in Europe through TTI. The vitreous wirewound resistors boast a completely welded construction and can be used to provide high continuous power dissipation up to 1,000W. High pulse power capability makes the devices a suitable choice for inrush limiters.

  Stackpole has announced the release of the HVAM Series, an axial leaded series of precision resistors designed for high voltage handling and high resistance values. The HVAM offers resistance values from 500K ohms to 10G ohms depending on size and tolerance. 

Knowles Precision Devices has a range of EMI components, under the SYFER brand, that appeal to designers in the medical implantable and space sectors as well as industrial, automotive, aerospace and telecom applications. The increasing use of SMD filters over conventional panel mounted filters has simplified assembly methods, reduced production costs and enabled smaller volumetric efficiencies to be gained giving options to the designer - pa...

The KC-LINK Surface Mount Capacitors from KEMET are available at distributor Farnell element14. KEMET’s KC-LINK surface mount capacitors are designed to meet the growing demand for fast switching semiconductors that operate at a higher voltage, temperature and frequency.

Global supplier of electronic components, KEMET, launched KC-LINK surface mount capacitors at APEC 2018 in San Antonio. KC-LINK is designed to meet the growing demand for fast-switching wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors. Wide bandgap semiconductors have enabled power converters to operate at higher voltages, temperatures, and frequencies, allowing for much higher efficiencies and power densities.

A range of polarised aluminium electrolytic capacitors from Vishay BComponents featuring increased vibration capabilities over standard devices is in stock at RS Components. Delivering the high stability and reliability vital for automotive and industrial applications, the surface-mount (SMD) 260 CLA-V, 246 CTI-V, and 250 CRZ-V and radial 246 RTI-V and 250 RMI-V combine high-vibration performance with low impedance, high ripple current, and long ...

ProTek Devices has introduced a new ultra-low capacitance (4pF) steering diode/transient voltage suppressor array for circuit protection in various networking applications. Networking application coverage includes Gigabit Ethernet, T1/E1 and T3/E3 (chip-side), and wireless communications. The new device is also suited for USB and DVI interfaces.

Toshiba Electronics has announced a new series of TVS diodes that protect USB power lines and power supply connectors used in mobile devices. Toshiba’s DF2SxxP2 series protects the power lines of smartphones and tablets by suppressing malfunctions and damage from ESD, noise from induced lightning that enters via the power cord and signal cable, and transient voltage at the time of turning equipment on or off.
