Although they’ve been superseded in some applications by newer technologies such as SSRs (Solid State Relays), EMRs (Electromechanical Relays) still have a lot to offer. Avnet Abacus' Mathias Goebel explains.

Bigger is always better, isn’t it? That’s not necessarily the case when it comes to specifying an AC/DC power supply. Avnet Abacus' Don Schriek explains.

Aluminium electrolytic and polymer wound aluminium electrolytic capacitors may seem similar at first glance, because their construction and appearance are very similar. However, the technologies offer very different performance characteristics. Adam Chidley, European Product Manager at Avnet Abacus explains.

Analog Devices (ADI) has selected Arrow Electronics as its strategic distribution channel partner operating globally. ADI will retain its current regional distributor network but will employ Arrow as its sole global distribution channel partner. The decision sees Avnet Silica and EBV Elektronik, an Avnet company, depart the Analog Devices distribution network.

Attendees at Embedded World 2017 in Nuremberg (March 14-16) will be able to find a wide range of innovative solutions on the Avnet Silica stand. The distributor will host a demo and solution area to showcase over 60 demonstrations of boards and tools on seven demo stations. The solution area will showcase demos which address a range of challenges encountered by design engineers.

Avnet Silica, an Avnet company, announced it has joined the LoRa Alliance as an ‘Adopter’ member to support development, growth and adoption of networks based on the LoRa protocol (LoRaWAN) low-power wide-area networking technology (LPWAN). Prior to joining the LoRa, Avnet Silica had already built-in support for LoRaWAN via the company’s ‘Visible Things’ industrial IoT platform.
