Harland Simon 1ph and 3ph Rotary Bypass Switches
Harland Simon offer a full range of mechanical, make before break, single phase and three phase rotary bypass switches. Most are manufactured in steel enclosures but the smaller 20A single phase have an option to be supplied in a plastic enclosure for mounting in end users own panels.
Lightning Protection Devices For RF Applications From Lane Electronics
Lane Electronics announced availability from stock of a range of lightning protection devices for applications in the frequency range DC to 18GHz. Manufactured by HUBER+SUHNER, for whom Lane is a franchised distributor, the devices are seen as essential components for protecting costly, vulnerable and often vital systems against induced electromagnetic pulses right across the communications spectrum.
NXP extends its range of FlatPower TVS diodes in industry's smallest package for the 600W class
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...
Diodes Incorporated extends USB port protection with single channel power switches
Diodes Incorporated has added 8 devices to its single channel power switch product line. Optimized for use in self-powered and bus-powered USB2.0/3.0 applications and other 3-5V hot swap applications, the AP23x1 and AP21x1D high-side, current limited power switches provide complete channel protection solutions for the current range 0.5A through to 2.0A.
High sensitivity telecoils for hearing aid compatible (HAC) with mobile phones
PREMO enlarged its telecoil family with the new TP0602 series, a high reliability and sensitivity coil for application in hearing aids. The TP0602 is wound with thin copper wires less than 25 micron (up to 0.012mm diameter) and inductance values between 40 and 170mH. This telecoil achieves a high sensitivity to magnetic field in 1kHz (operation frequency in this kind of devices).The ferrite core material provide a stable performance in a wide ran...
SCHURTER's Extended Range of Current-Compensated Chokes
SCHURTER has extended its range of DKFP current compensated chokes and offers now rated currents from 300 mA to 10 A. The DKFP chokes series cover now inductance values from 1 mH to 100 mH.
1.2A Overvoltage/Overcurrent Protector Isolates Sensitive Low Voltage Electronics from Input Power Surges
Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4362, a 2.5V to 5.5V overvoltage and overcurrent protector designed to safeguard low voltage, portable electronics from damaging input voltage transients and current surges. Overvoltage events can occur due to power adapter failure or faults, or when hot-plugging an AC adapter into a device's power input. Inadvertently plugging the wrong power adapter into a device can potentially cause damage from ...
Vishay Extends 900-V to 2700-V Heavy Duty Capacitors for Power Electronics With New Capacitance Values Up to 2235 µF
Vishay is extending its heavy-duty Vishay ESTA HDMKP capacitors for power electronics with new capacitance and packaging options. HDMKP capacitors are available in six standard voltages from 900 V to 2700 V (dc). Previously offering capacitance values from 40 µF to 1100 µF, the series has now been extended to offer capacitance values up to 2235 µF, with a capacitance tolerance of ± 5 %.
Silicon Labs 5 KV Digital Isolators Offer Robust, Reliable Upgrade For Traditional Optocouplers
Silicon Labs announces a line of 5 kV digital isolators designed to replace traditional optocouplers in harsh application environments and systems powered from universal mains supplies. Silicon Labs' new 5 kV Si84xx digital isolators provide a smaller, faster and more reliable isolation solution than optocouplers without the wear-out mechanisms, aging effects or temperature dependencies that plague optocoupler-based designs. They also offer best-...
