ALPS Develops and Commences Mass Production of Waterproof Switch Compatible With 4.5A Currents
ALPS ELECTRIC has developed the SDDH Series waterproof switch, which is compatible with weak to medium currents. Mass production commences in August 2011. Switches used in control elements, such as starters or stop lamp on/off switching, of motorbikes, buggies, other sports mobiles, and agricultural equipment require high water resistance so they can be used in the rain or immersed in water. Demand for switches compatible with weak through to me...
Vishay Announces IHLP Low-Profile, High-Current Inductor in the 3232 Case Size With Ultra-Low 3.0 mm Profile, Inductance Values From 0.22 µH Through 10.0 µH, and Maximum DCR Down to 1.61 mΩ
Vishay has launched a new IHLP low-profile, high-current inductor in the 3232 case size with an ultra-low 3.0 mm profile. The compact IHLP-3232CZ-01 offers high efficiency with maximum DCR down to 1.61 mΩ and a wide range of standard inductance values from 0.22 µH through 10.0 µH.
New knitter-switch micro-site hosted by RS Components
With the introduction of an additional 200 knitter-switch products to its portfolio RS Components is hosting a dedicated knitter-switch micro-site within its main web site. The new micro-site will be available in local languages on international sites and will include technical and ordering information on the latest rotary and rotary coded switches, pushbutton and dual-in-line, slide and toggle switches available from knitter-switch.
Miniature size, versatility make FP Series switch ideal for use in telecom, datacom applications…
C&K Components has developed an ultra-miniature pushbutton switch that saves assembly time and money. Designated the FP Series, the totally sealed construction utilizes an o-ring between the actuator and bushing, which prevents contamination. This sealing feature allows for automated soldering and cleaning, which saves time and money during the assembly process. The RoHS-compliant switches are available in both vertical and right angle mount ...

Farnell has announced an exclusive agreement with Bourns to stock the company’s two RS-485 evaluation boards. Bourns, a leading manufacturer of a wide range of electronic devices including circuit protection components, sensors, potentiometers, switches and magnetic products, developed the two boards to provide customers using its TBU® High-Speed Protector (HSP), metal oxide varistor (MOV), gas discharge tube (GDT) and transient voltage suppre...
Latest DIL Switch from knitter-switch is sealed for applications that require “potted” or conformally-coated PCBs
One of Europe’s leading switch manufacturers, knitter-switch, announces a new DIL switch designed specifically for mounting on PCBs that are to be “potted” or conformally-coated using cold curing compounds.
High reliability metal terminal capacitors from Murata achieve major acoustic noise reduction and are immune to PCB flexure.
Murata has developed a series of MLCCs with a unique external metal terminal design which reduces problems associated with mounting larger size MLCCs, including acoustic noise production and cracks caused by flexing the PCB. The construction of this series, the KRM series, also allows two capacitors to be mounted on top of each other, doubling the effective capacitance to achieve very high capacitance values inside small footprints. Additionally,...
