C&K's New Compact Reset Switches Target Pumps and Furnace Control Applications
C&K Components, a leading international supplier of tact switches, toggle, rocker and pushbutton switches, and smart card interconnect devices, has developed a compact reset switch with low operating force to ensure ease-of-use and precision in activation. Designated the LF series, the switches are ideal for use in pump and furnace controls.
C&K Expands Micro-Miniature, Snap-Acting Detect Switch Family with New Termination Options
C&K Components, a leading international supplier of tact switches, toggle, rocker and pushbutton switches and smart card interconnect devices, now offers its micro-miniature, snap-acting detect switch in four new surface-mount options. Designated the MDS Series, the detect switch is available in vertical and right-angle PCB mount and through-hole versions which now include surface-mount options of left with pins, left with no pins, right with...
5W surface mount resistor from Ohmite
A 5 watt version of its already popular FCSL metal foil current sense resistor range has been launched by Ohmite. The use of foil construction gives the FCSL the effective combination of very low and stable TCRs. It is available in a wide selection of very low ohmic values.
SBS 5000 J - Space Saving DIL Switches from knitter-switch
knitter-switch, one of Europe’s leading switch manufacturers, has made a significant addition to its dual-in-line (DIL) switch product family with the launch of the SBS 5000 J series. Designed for surface mount applications across a wide range of market sectors, the SBS 5000 J DIL switch series features gold plated brass “j-hook” terminals which take up less room on host PCB’s. The SBS 5000 J can be specified with either recessed actuator...
Stackpole develops 1% tolerance chip resistors
Stackpole Electronics, Inc. announced the addition of 1% tolerance to the popular RPC Series of thick film high pulse withstanding chip resistors. Previously this series was only available down to 5% tolerance due to the elimination of the calibration laser trim. Through proprietary materials and processing, Stackpole is now able to offer 1% accuracy with only minor sacrifices to the pulse power handling of the product.
AVX Expands MLCC family
AVX Corporation has expanded its extensive family of multilayer ceramic chips (MLCCs) to include gold plated terminations. Designated the Au Series, the RoHS compliant MLCC eliminates the use of tin and lead and subsequent tin whiskering events on the PCB. Available for most standard MLCC values, AVX offers a range of gold thicknesses for flash terminations (soldering applications) from 1.9μin to 7.87μin, while the gold Std termination thic...
Miniature Lock Switch Family Expanded By Lorlin
Lorlin continues to expand its SRL series Key operated miniature lock switch range with the addition of the IRL impulsion type. The IRL provides two switch positions, a maintained centre “neutral” position and the “active” position at 60º clockwise with a spring return to the centre. The simple to mount Lorlin IRL key switch requires just a 16mm panel piercing hole, projects less than 30mm behind the mounting panel and is available with ...
Multimec Pushbutton Switches from Foremost are Illuminated with Orange & White LEDs
Foremost Electronics announced the availability of additional models and features in the MEC multimec switch range. MEC Switches was established in 1938 and is one of the leading European manufacturers of high quality switches with a reputation for leading-edge design and the use of top quality materials delivering maximum reliability under all conditions.
Compact Low Profile Power Inductors from Taiyo Yuden
Taiyo Yuden’s new BRL2515 (2.5 x 1.5mm, with a maximum height of 1.2mm) and BRFL2518 (2.5 x 1.8mm, with a maximum height of 1.0mm) wire-wound power inductors offer industry-leading DC bias characteristics in a thinner, smaller size.
Reed Sensor Series Perform Beyond Their Size Class
Now offered in 2 Form B versions, the MK24 series Reed Sensors achieve a minimum life expectancy of 50 million operations at 5V, 5mA, 100Hz while measuring only 5mm x 1.8mm x 2.2mm. At 50 millions operations, the MK24’s base reed switch, a 4mm KSK-1A04 unequivocally surpassed all other reed switches in its size class. Though ultra miniature, the MK24 is constructed of a rugged overmolded package containing the hermetically sealed reed switch.
