NXP Semiconductors today announced the extension of its Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes portfolio by 35 new products housed in its 2-lead FlatPower package SOD128 (3.8 x 2.5 x 1 mm). NXP is the first supplier to offer a 600W peak pulse power rating (10/1000μs) TVS diode in such a small plastic SMD package. Alternative 600W TVS products in the market are only available in much larger packages like SMA or SMB. The new SOD128 FlatPowe...

As a key basic technology, microelectronics is the foundation for the success of the most important branches of German industry. 50 per cent of all industrial products manufactured in Germany now contain at least one electronic component. 8 out of 10 innovations in automobile construction already stem from the electrical engineering, electronics and IT industries. Optical technologies contribute a great deal to this dynamism: laser-based processe...

Murata now offers its low DC resistance, high rated current wire-wound chip inductors in low profile 1515-size packaging (4.0 x 4.0 x 1.65mm), designed to save space and increase efficiency in DC-DC converter designs.

Productronica 2011 represented the launch of HumiSeal´s global initiative, which will subsequently be rolled out across the world in 2012 & beyond. The campaign theme is called What’s inside the machine? HumiSeal recognises that today´s electronic products are increasingly being subjected to hostile operating environments as the global demand for miniaturisation and functionality continue to drive evermore complex and smaller devices. We see ...

JAE Europe has introduced 20-way and 32-way surface-mount connectors to its 2.2mm-pitch MX34 range, allowing smaller automotive electronic modules that require fewer assembly processes to enable faster production and lower unit costs.

Recently two competing semiconductor companies, each one producing ICs in high volumes, chose significantly different process nodes for new system-on-chip products targeting the same application. How did the two reach an almost identical unit price, and which one has achieved the best result overall?

Teknek that its recent attendance at Productronica has paid dividends. “For the SMT sector the cleaning of boards prior to the solder paste printing stage is now seen as a priority,” said Ruaridh Nicolson, Teknek’s Sales and Marketing Manager. “The adoption of laser marking, 3D solder paste inspection and relentless miniaturisation means board cleaning is no longer a nice to have feature but an essential aspect of any SMT line. Having su...

Bosch has set a new production volume record: the technology company has manufactured two billion MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) sensors since production began 16 years ago. While it took 13 years to produce the first billion, the two-billion mark was recently crossed, just three years later. And production volumes are still growing. Recently, annual production has reached almost half a billion units – more than 1.3 million every worki...

PETERMANN TECHNIK's low cost SMD crystal is available, with 2 or 4 solder pads, in the frequency range of 10.0 to 121.0MHz and with an extended temperature range of up to –40°C +125°C.

Molex has introduced a 4.00mm (.157) pitch positive-locking terminal block system, which provides a mated mounting height that is 25% shorter than a standard 5.00mm (.197) pitch vertical plug/header mated pair. Modelled on the Molex Eurostyle Series 39980, 5.08mm (.200) pitch and Eurostyle Series 39990, 5.00mm (.197) pitch products, this low profile system – 39484 tin-plated plugs and 39485 tin-plated PCB headers -- performs exactly the sam...
