Global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, TT Electronics, has announced two new products for rail and military vehicles, as well as the telecommunication and industrial markets. The SteadiShield connector and the OcTrain 10Gb Ethernet contact can be utilised in braking systems, trackside and signalling cables, drivers’ cabin equipment, and communications equipment.

TT Electronics has announced E-Beam Welded Shunt­ resistors for industrial and automotive applications. The EBW8518 is an electron beam welded resistance element, sandwiched between large copper terminals with optional tin plating. Precision applications can make use of its one percent tolerance, 100ppm/°C TCR, 1µV/°C thermal EMF and separate ground pins to reduce errors.

High energy double sided chip (HDSC) resistors are the latest addition to TT Electronics’ range of pulse withstanding chip resistors. HDSC chip resistors are untrimmed for improved pulse performance and target industrial and medical applications such as power supplies, circuit breakers, and medical monitor input protection.

Thermal jumper chips that enable circuit designers to manage temperature rise in compact power electronic assemblies have been released by TT Electronics. The TJC series provide a thermally conductive pathway with electrical isolation for management of PCB hotspot areas.

Provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, TT Electronics, has introduced its HA42A and HA86A Series gate drive transformers for the automotive and industrial markets. These miniature surface mount design (SMD) solutions are ideal for high efficiency Battery Management System applications where size and reliability are critical.

Global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, TT Electronics, has announced the acquisition of Power Partners, a provider of medical and industrial specialist power products for the North American market. The firm is based in Boston, Massachusetts, and complements TT’s global power electronics business with new products and design capabilities. 

A global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, TT Electronics, has announced the opening of a new design centre in Shenzhen, China. The site will provide world class design and R&D capabilities to support the company’s anticipated growth plans, working in partnership with the global manufacturing centres of excellence to deliver smarter solutions together.

A range of moulded inductors designed with the latest composite moulded core materials to maximise inductance, temperature performance and saturation current while minimising DC resistance and physical size, has been launched by TT Electronics with the the HA72L series.

A series of ultra-low profile high power resistors has been introduced by TT Electronics. The WDBR-UL resistors are based on the existing WDBR product which has been successfully used in the field for over ten years. The WDBR-UL series’ creepage, clearances and power ratings have been assessed in accordance with the requirements of UL508, easing the compliance burden for UL approved end users.

TT Electronics has announced the introduction of the SMD power inductors for use in high power density applications where size is critical. The inductors’ compact design, together with their AEC-Q200 certification provide the performance and reliability levels that automotive and high reliability industrial applications demand.

Not two months after its acquisition of Stadium Group, TT Electronics is back on the takeover trail. This time it has acquired Precision, a designer and manufacturer of precision electromagnetic product solutions for critical applications. Based in Minneapolis, US, Precision has around 160 employees that support customers in medical, industrial, and aerospace and defence markets.

TT Electronics has announced the introduction of two additional resistor types that expand and enhance its high reliability CR and HR series. The latest versions of these thick-film chip resistors are in the smaller 0603 size and hence offer opportunities for use in compact circuits where guaranteed performance and footprint size are critical.

Stadium Group has agreed to be acquired by TT Electronics in a £45.8million deal. Stadium Group directors say that while the business would have a strong independent future, they considered that the offer by TT provides shareholders with value at a level which adequately reflects both the quality of the Stadium business and its prospects.

Global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, TT Electronics, has announced the LRMAP5930 series of low resistance, metal alloy current sense power resistors. With values down to 200μΩ and a corresponding power rating on standard FR4 PCB of up to 10W, the maximum measurable current is over 200A, and hence in most cases restricted only by the capacity of the PCB tracks.

The HPWC (high pulse withstanding chip) range of high energy surge resistor products has been announced by TT Electronics. The high pulse resistors are designed to maximise the level of surge performance available in a single-sided flat chip design. The HPWC range is ideal for protection and discharge applications in compact power supplies and power control circuits where a resistance tolerance of 5% is required.

Global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, TT Electronics, has announced the WMHP-HS heatsink specifically designed to optimise the thermal performance of its WMHP series power resistors. Providing a combination of high surface area, cooling performance, compact dimensions and light weight, the PCB mounting heatsink is suitable for use in power supplies, power amplifiers, motor drives and inrush current control applications requiring resistors operating in the 20-100W range.

Global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, TT Electronics, has extended its MFC series of metal foil chip resistors with a new 2817 size that can dissipate up to 3W. Suitable for current sensing in the 1-30A range, the MFC2817 chip resistors enable designers to achieve highly compact power conversion circuits in demanding industrial and medical applications.

  TT Electronics has launched the HA78D series of coupled inductors for use in DC/DC converter applications. With their high temperature rating and AECQ200 certification, they are ‘automotive ready’ for the latest generation of motor vehicles.

The WRM-HV series of precision metal film MELF resistors has been launched by TT Electronics. With over double the standard voltage rating and a value range from 340k to 3.4M, WRM-HV provides surge tolerant, high stability solutions for high voltage measurement and precision analogue circuits. For use chiefly in the market segments of industrial, instrumentation and medical, the resistors will be of particular interest to designers of energy meters, measurement instruments and process monitors.
