  Stackpole's RV series of radial leaded metal oxide varistors are in stock in a wide range of sizes and working voltages. The RV series is UL1449 certified and is available in sizes from 5 up to 20mm with peak current ratings up to 18,000A and energy handling up to 792J. 

  Littelfuse has introduced multiple series of high-voltage Fuse Blocks and Fuse Holders designed for mechanical installation of fuses. Developed for applications from 400V to 600V, these new series include several fuse mounting alternatives to accommodate the mechanical design of the application.

Stackpole has recently introduced the MLFA Series of metal film melf resistors. The MLFA Series is fully AEC-Q200 compliant and offered in the 0204 (0.4W) and 0207 (1W) sizes. The MLFA has exceptional stability demonstrated over life, biased humidity, and short time overload testing. In addition, the MLFA offers pulse power handling up to 3500 watts for single short duration pulses, and lightning surge withstanding up to 6KV for resistance values...

Ametherm just announced a circuit protection thermistor that is said to offer the industry's smallest diameter for a UL-approved device with a maximum continuous current rating of 4.0 A and energy rating of 50 J. Previously, designers had to rely on devices with larger diameters of 22.0 mm to achieve the high current and energy ratings of the new SL15 60004.

Durable under adverse conditions, Nesscap’s XP-series has been specially engineered for applications that operate over long durations in environments with high temperature and humidity. They are available at Rutronik. Under the ‘Biased Humidity Test’ conditions (2.7V, 90% relative humidity, 60°C), the XP-series stands out with a significantly longer service life under direct current conditions in comparison with standard cel...

Franchised distributor of electronic components, New Yorker Electronics, will be releasing a new series of vPolyTan multi-anode polymer surface-mount chip capacitors that delivers increased volumetric efficiency for computing, telecom and industrial applications. A 2017 Vishay Super 12 Featured Product, it combines polymer tantalum technology with Vishay’s patented multi-array packaging (MAP) to deliver what the company claims to be th...

The TCQ series conductive polymer chip capacitors from AVX has been added to the Rutronik portfolio. These robust capacitors are designed for demanding automotive applications. Qualified to the Automotive Electronics Council’s AEC-Q200 specification for passive components, the TCQ Series meets the AEC’s challenging 125°C lifetime stability test and humidity bias testing at 85°C and 85% relative humidity for up to 1,000 hours.

Global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, TT Electronics, has extended its MFC series of metal foil chip resistors with a new 2817 size that can dissipate up to 3W. Suitable for current sensing in the 1-30A range, the MFC2817 chip resistors enable designers to achieve highly compact power conversion circuits in demanding industrial and medical applications.

New Yorker Electronics is now distributing ASC Capacitors' new MEC-DL film capacitors, designed for PCB board mounting. These are said to be  ideal for frequency converters, micro inverters and DC filtering applications. Their lead spacing and compact size are conducive for low inductance (<1nH per mm of lead spacing).

An extension to its 220 EDLC ENYCAP series of electrical double-layer energy storage capacitors has been announced by Vishay Intertechnology. The components are suitable for energy harvesting, power backup, and UPS power source applications.
