C&K Components has developed a new component concept for complex automotive human machine interfaces (HMIs). Designated the CLK Series, the energy-free electromechanical device provides consistent, self-guided motion with uniform haptic feedback for automotive touch-sensing HMI applications.

With the new DLKPro family, VDO makes the handling of data from Digital Tachographs even easier now. The target-group-oriented products of the new DLKPro family are the practical key to the professional handling of data in the DTCO mass memory, the driver card, the workshop card, the control card for authorities, and all competing products. The latest generation is even easier to operate, offers numerous innovative supplementary functions and, wi...

Infineon Technologies expands its Automotive power semiconductor lineup with the new 650V CoolMOS CFDA. This is the industry’s first Superjunction MOSFET solution with Integrated Fast Body Diode to meet the highest Automotive qualification standard AEC-Q101. The 650V CoolMOS CFDA is particularly designed for resonant topologies such as battery charging, DC/DC converters and HID (High Intensity Discharge) Lighting, also in hybrid and electric ve...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT3992, a monolithic, dual output step-down switching regulator that delivers up to 3A of continuous output current from each channel. It operates from an input voltage range of 3V to 60V, ideal for applications requiring continuous output voltage regulation through load dump and cold-crank conditions found in automotive applications. Independent input, shutdown, feedback, soft-start, current limit and ...

Littelfuse announces the new MICRO3 line of blade fuses. This new line combines two individual fused circuits in a single sub-miniature body, making it an ideal solution for modern space constraints.

Connection systems are the cornerstone of power and signal distribution in a vehicle's electrical/electronic architecture. Delphi Automotive is expanding its extensive portfolio of connection systems with its next-generation Flexible Beam Connector. Already available on GT 150 and 280 unsealed connectors, Flexible Beam Technology is now being made available for sealed GT 150 and 280 connectors and will be on display at the electronica China 2012 ...

A new family of connection systems from Delphi Automotive for demanding applications such as construction equipment and commercial, agricultural and marine vehicles, is now available to customers in Asia-Pacific. Delphi's Harsh Environment Series (HES) offers SAE J2030-validated 24 shell size circular connectors, pin and sleeve terminals and 50-way and 60-way header systems with 10 indexes. The HES connection systems will be on display at the ele...

International Rectifier today introduced the automotive-qualified AUIR3240S battery power switch for the combustion-engine shut-off and restart function (Stop-Start system) that can help reduce fuel consumption in automotive vehicles by up to 15 percent.

The new series of broadcast antennas KGEA-HB , are designed for field emission LF (low frequency) and allow remote access to the car to those customers who have identification devices as vehicle passive entry. The antenna is protected and sealed by a system of ultrasonic welding.

Linear Technology Corporation introduces automotive (H-grade) and high reliability military (MP-grade) versions of the LTM2881 and LTM2882, isolated µModule transceivers which guard against large ground-to-ground differentials and common-mode transients in RS485 and RS232 networks. The LTM2881 single RS485 and LTM2882 dual RS232 transceivers break ground loops by isolating the logic level interface and line transceiver using internal inductive s...
