Passives

Manufacturer and supplier of passive components, interconnects, sensors, and control solutions, AVX, has added 11 new frequencies to its 0805 high-performance, low-pass LP Series integrated thin film (ITF) SMD filters. Now available in 700, 750, 780, 942, 1,000, 1,250, 1,800, 1,900, 2,400, 2,900, 3,500, and 4,000MHz variants, the 0805 filters are compact and low-profile - measuring 2.03x1.55x0.80mm ±0.10mm.

  Global manufacturer of resistors, Stackpole, has announced an AEC-Q200 compliant series of precision thin film chip resistors. The RNCF offers sizes from 0201-2512, with a tolerance of 0.01% and TCR of 2ppm available for a select value range for sizes from 0402-2512.

A significantly more compact version of ROHM's PSR series has been introduced. The PSR100 series ultra-low ohmic shunt resistors have a high-power capability and are suited to current measurement in automotive and industrial applications. The new shunt resistors, which are based on a high-performance metal alloy as the resistive element, feature temperature coefficients (TCR) from ±50 to ±150ppm.

  A self-adhesive capacitive sensor head with IP 64 protection has been developed by Balluff, designed for non-contact, continuous level detection on non-conductive vessel or pipe outer walls made of glass, plastic or ceramic.

Manufacturer of chip inductors, power magnetics, EMI filters, wideband transformers, Coilcraft has announced its new 0402DC series ceramic wirewound chip inductors which offer what the company claims to be the industry's highest Q factors in an 0402 (1005) size - up to 162 at 2.4GHz - for low loss in high frequency circuits.

Manufacturer and supplier of passive components, interconnects, sensors, and control solutions, AVX will present a technical paper about advances in high reliability conductive polymer capacitors for space applications at the 2018 Microelectronics Reliability and Qualification Working Meeting (MRQW), which will take place 6th–8th February 2018 in El Segundo, California.

  Global manufacturer of resistors, Stackpole Electronics has announced its RMCF series which is aAEC-Q200 qualified series of thick film chip resistors. This series has thousands of the most popular values in stock in sizes from 0201 through 2512.

A film capacitor that maintains exceptionally high robustness under high humidity is available from New Yorker Electronics. The Vishay Roederstein MKP1847H AC Filtering Metallised Polypropylene Film Capacitors feature maximum continuous AC voltages of 250VAC, 310VAC, 350VAC and 480VAC (50Hz / 60Hz range).

A new AEC-Q200-compliant, high power thick film resistor series has been announced by supplier of electronic components, Bourns. The Bourns Model PWR247T-100 series is offered in a compact TO-247 package. The product is engineered with a thick film resistive element on a white alumina ceramic substrate, the latest high power resistors from Bourns deliver low inductance advantages.

In 1947 three engineers working for Bell Labs in New Jersey, US, achieved something that had a transformative impact on the technology industry, and the entire world. John Bardeen, Walter Houser Brattain, and William Bradford Shockley invented the first transistor and so ushered in the silicon age. By David Harold, VP Communications, Imagination Technologies
