Passives

Manufacturer of high-rel passive components designed for harsh environments, Exxelia, has taken a step forward in the miniaturisation of electronics for space applications. The company has announced that its CEC and CNC series of low voltage ceramic capacitors have received the QPL certification based on ESCC n°3009 specification, for the 0402 case size. It is the smallest QPL-certified case size completing Exxelia’s MLCCs QPL...

  The UHV series of ultra high voltage chip resistors from Stackpole Electronics are now in stock in the most popular sizes and resistance values. Values of 500M, 1G, and 2G are in stock in sizes from 2010 to 5020. This enables designing and prototyping high voltage designs in far less time than usual.

  A new series of smoothing capacitors featuring a high ripple current of 5.8A and enabling miniaturisation of switching power supplies has been introduced by Panasonic Industry Europe. The SEPG series of radial lead type conductive polymer aluminium solid capacitors also benefits from low ESR values of maximum 10mΩ and stable characteristics at a wide temperature range from -55 up to 105°C.

Suitable for current detection in high-power applications in the automotive, industrial and large-scale consumer electronics sectors, ROHM has announced the development and mass production of high-power low-ohmic shunt resistors of the GMR100 series. The new shunt resistors are characterised by a high rated power of 3W and a resistance range from 5-220mΩ. Their resistance tolerance is specified with F (±1%). The temperature coefficie...

  Aspen Electronics offers the K-LD2 evaluation kit from RFbeam Microwave, supplier of planar radar sensors, K-band measuring equipment and engineering. Typical applications for the K-LD2 are movement detection and speed measurement, plus many other uses.

  Based on the company’s proprietary 180nm XH018 mixed-signal CMOS technology, X-FAB has announced the expansion of its low-noise transistor portfolio. Three new transistors are now available: a 1.8V low-noise NMOS, a 3.3V low-noise NMOS and a 3.3V low-noise PMOS – all of which offer drastically reduced flicker noise compared to standard CMOS offerings.

Manufacturer and supplier of electronic components, Bourns, has released two new series of thick film chip resistors that offer enhanced power ratings up to 2W at 70°C. The Bourns Models CRMxxxxA and CRSxxxxA are sulfur-resistant and AEC-Q200 compliant making them well-suited for automotive driver assistant, information, entertainment and lighting applications, as well as commercial, automation, industrial, power supply and stepper-motor...

The DG series of glass-encapsulated thermistors from Ametherm for high-accuracy temperature sensing in automotive and industrial applications is now in stock at Digi-Key. Hermetically sealed DG series devices eliminate errors in resistance readings due to moisture penetration while offering high operating temperatures and a compact size.

Developed at the specific request of industrial electronics customers, Knowles brand Syfer can now offer MLCC’s, for non-safety critical applications, up to 500Vac, 50/60Hz continuous. Syfer pioneered 250Vac rated MLCC’s for non-safety critical applications to complement its range of industry standard DC rated TUV / UL qualified class X & Y surge and safety MLCCs.
