  The launch of the 600W BLF0910H9LS600 LDMOS power amplifier transistor has been announced by Ampleon. This is the first RF energy transistor using Ampleon’s latest Gen9HV 50V LDMOS process, a node that has been optimised to deliver greatly increased efficiency, power and gain.

  Global supplier of electronic components, KEMET, has announced a new family of automotive grade metallised polypropylene film capacitors. F863 class X2 miniature capacitors are specifically designed to provide robust performance in safety applications in harsh environments and severe ambient conditions.

  KEMET has expanded its commercial and automotive grade high voltage C0G Ceramic Capacitors as increasing use of wide band power semiconductors in power electronics applications drives forward new inverter and DC/DC converter designs with far greater power density, voltage, current and frequency.

Surge protection is becoming essential for all circuit designs. With the SG73 series, KOA offers a resistor series which has approximately ten times higher pulse handling capability compared to standard flat chip resistors. Due to this pulse load capability these are suitable for protection of electronic circuits against extreme pulses and surges. These resistors are available with ±10% or ±20% resistance tolerance.

  Four new series of 1,200V Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky Diodes have been introduced by Littelfuse. They diodes are from the company's GEN2 product family, which was originally released in May 2017.

Manufacturer and supplier of passive components and interconnect solutions, AVX, has released the new HR series high-value resistors. Featuring a glass wafer sandwich package enabled with AVX’s proprietary, automotive- and medically-qualified FLEXITERM surface-mount termination technology in a small EIA 0402 outline, the new HR series high-value resistors provide an extra margin against flexure damage during installation.

At this year's Photonics West show, taking place 30th January to 1st February in San Francisco, LASER COMPONENTS presents QuickSwitch - a hybrid 905nm high-power PLD generating what the company claims to be the world's shortest pulse width of 2.5ns typical at a pulse frequency of up to 200kHz. It can be equipped with various storage capacitors, depending on which, it achieves an optical peak power up to 89W. The pulse width of the optical ou...

Manufacturer and supplier of passive components, interconnects, sensors, and control solutions, AVX, has added a new 'U' case (EIA Metric 7361-43) to its TRM Professional Series multianode, ultralow-ESR tantalum capacitors, extending the range with several new ratings designed to address the demands of an ever-expanding scope of high-reliability automotive, military, medical, aerospace, and industrial applications.

Provider of RF, microwave and millimetre wave products, Pasternack, has released a new line of attenuators for quick mating and easy installation. Typical applications include DAS systems, remote radio heads (RRHs), base stations and antennas. Pasternack’s 23 new quick connect attenuators are available with QMA, QN or 4.3-10 connectors for easy mating. These attenuators support operating frequency ranges from DC to 6GHz.
