Vishay - Surface-Mount Solid Tantalum Chips Are First to Combine Capacitance and Temp Ratings
Vishay today introduced a new series of HI TMP TANTAMOUNT surface-mount solid tantalum chip capacitors that are the industry's first such devices to offer a capacitance value of 10 µF at 12 V or 21 V and 500 hours of continuous operation at + 200 °C, without the need for voltage derating. The closest competing device offers a maximum operating voltage of only 5 V.
Photocoupler for industrial motor control and inverter applications with extended operating temperature
Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has announced an ultra-compact, extended temperature photocoupler that provides a space-saving solution for industrial applications that require an isolation interface between intelligent power modules (IPMs) and IC control circuitry.
VPG's New Foil and Z-Foil 2-, 3-, and 4-Resistor Voltage Dividers and Resistor Networks Feature TCR Tracking to ±0.1 ppm/°C and Matching Tolerance to ±0.005%
Vishay announced that its Vishay Foil Resistors division has released new 2-, 3-, and 4-resistor voltage dividers and resistor networks in both Bulk Metal Foil and Z-Foil versions.
RF1604 Broadband High Power SP4T Switch
RFMD’s new RF1604 single-pole four-throw (SP4T) switch is designed for switching applications requiring very low insertion loss and high power handling capability with minimal DC power consumption. RF1604’s excellent linearity performance makes it ideal for use in multimode GSM/EDGE/WCDMA and LTE applications. Very high isolation between the RF ports provide greater RF separation between the transmit and receive paths, critical in full-duplex...
ALPS - Low-Profile Double-Action TACT Switch for Portable Consumer Devices
ALPS ELECTRIC EUROPE GmbH offers with its SKSK a double-action TACT Switch suitable for portable consumer devices such as digital cameras, mobile phones, and peripherals. The vertically operated SMD switch is remarkable for its low-profile design with dimensions of 3.5mm x 3.2mm x 0.6 mm (L x W x H) and a long operating life of up to 100,000 cycles.
Vishay Releases New Thin Film Resistor Voltage Dividers With Tight Ratio Tolerance and Stability
Vishay released a new series of thin film, molded, dual-in-line resistor voltage dividers featuring a close ratio tolerance of ± 0.05 %, ratio stability characteristics (ΔR) of ± 0.015 % at 2,000 hours and + 70 ºC, and tight TCR tracking of ± 5 ppm/ºC. Offering higher precision than discrete SMT chips, devices in the ORNV series combine five resistors, including two voltage dividers and a reference resistor, in a 4 mm by 5 mm, eight-pin...
