Yageo announces new anti-sulfurated resistors capable of satisfying the most stringent of product applications
Yageo Corporation recently released its new “anti-sulfurated resistors” AF series. These are designed mainly for use in environments exposed to high levels of contamination, which could include industrial control systems, sensors, electric instrumentation, and communication base stations among others. This series is also suited for electronic appliances used in high concentrations of sulfur gases areas such as hot springs and mines. Anti-S...
STMicroelectronics Shrinks Space Requirement for Mandatory Surge Protection
STMicroelectronics has announced an innovation that will help reduce the size and cost of surge protectors for electronic equipment by providing specified energy absorption capability up to the maximum operating temperature. Competing devices must be derated significantly at temperatures above 25°C.
Lighting Controls Protection
ATC Semitec now offers the widest range of protection devices for lighting circuit protection. PTC thermistors suitable for over-current, time-delay and SMD versions for cost-effective over-temperature applications. CRDs offer a constant current source for LED circuits.
Waterproof Detector Switches with Bent Press-Fit Terminals for Automotive Applications
Devices and components installed in automobiles are exposed to water, dust, and other adverse conditions, but in the interests of maximizing safety, such components must be highly reliable. With the SPVQA series, ALPS ELECTRIC EUROPE GmbH offers waterproof detector switches with left- or right-hand side bent press-fit terminals for easy mounting without soldering. Housed in a 15.2mm x 6.4mm x 7.95mm (W x D x H) case, they are an ideal solution fo...
Energy management efficiency enhanced with Omron relays
Omron has developed two new relays starting from the existing product families G7L and G8P, specifically to meet the needs and requirements of renewable energy systems. Many of these systems will require efficient DC-AC inverter circuits where robust and reliable relays must be capable of handling AC load switching and providing network grid isolation protection.
Three Phase Solid State Relays & Their Application in Three Phase Heating Circuits
Three Phase Solid State Relays (SSRs) have been available since shortly after the introduction of Single Phase SSRs in 1970. The first of these relays were nothing more than 3 individual SSRs with a common input connection packaged in a single housing.
