The Vishay Draloric RCC1206e3 in the thick film chip resistor in the 1206 case size has been enhanced with a higher power rating of 0.5W.

In industrial automation machinery, regenerative braking is a technique employing the existing structures and energy of electric motors (and their drives) along with dedicated subcomponents to slow, stop, and re-actuate axes. Rolf Horn of Digi-Key Electronics explains further.

The Department for Transport Statistics reports that there were 485,900 heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) licenced in the UK in 2020, but only 400 of these were battery electric powered. With HGVs being a significant contributor of carbon emissions, will we see an increase in electric power? Here, Simone Bruckner, Managing Director ofpower resistor manufacturerCressall, has explored the potential of electrifying the UK heavy vehicle market.

The development of mining vehicles has taken many twists and turns throughout its 500-year history — from wooden carts to diesel-fuelled trucks and most recently, electric vehicles (EVs). Increasing environmental, financial and governmental pressures are driving the mining industry towards electrification.Here, Simone Bruckner, Managing Director of Cressall Resistors has investigated the benefits of electrified underground mining and the ro...

The Danish government recently made history with the commission of the world’s first energy island. The island will house 200 giant wind turbines to power three million households across Denmark, and could support neighbouring nations such as Germany and the UK. Although wind is abundant, ensuring a consistent, high-quality power output can be challenging. Here, Simone Bruckner, Managing Director of Cressall Resistors explains the importanc...

Pickering Interfaces, supplier of modular signal switching and simulation solutions for use in electronic test and verification, will be demonstrating its latest product developments at productronica 2021, a trade fair for electronics development and production, in Munich (November 16thto 19th).

2512 size chip resistors can typically be found with one to two watt power ratings. However, as electronic devices add functions and capability, higher power ratings become increasingly important. Stackpole has the CSRT2512-UP, which is a 2512 size chip resistor with a 3.5W power rating, in stock currently in a range of popular values.

Hooman Hashemi, Product Applications Engineer, at Analog Devices (ADI), discusses a new variation of the classic instrumentation amplifier (PGIA).

Covering over 70% of the Earth’s surface, the oceans are a vital element of our planet’s ecosystem. However, for the millions of vessels that cross them, the aquatic environment can present a problem. Vessels are increasingly using electrical systems to power across oceans, but a component’s design must account for these extreme conditions. Here, David Atkins, project director atCressall, investigates offshore resistor design.

KOA Speer Electronics is adding a high power 0402 size to theirSG73P seriesof anti-surge, pulse precision thick film chip resistors. The SG73P1EW has a power rating of 0.25W with a TCR as low as ±100ppm/°C. This represents a 100% increase in power compared to the existing SG73P 0402 package. The SG73P1EW provides greater power and precision in a 0402 package size.
