Vishay extends tantalum chip capacitor family
Vishay Intertechnology has announced that it has extended its 298D series of MicroTan solid tantalum chip capacitors to offer an industry-best capacitance-voltage rating in the molded 0402 package size. Leveraging the patented MAP (multi-array packaging) assembly technology, Vishay's 298D MicroTan capacitors have been extended to offer high capacitance-voltage ranges from 4.7μF-4V to 10μF-4V in the ultra-compact 1.0-mm x 0.5-mm 0402 K-...
Surface-Mount Current Sensing Chip Resistor from Vishay
Vishay Intertechnology has introduced the new VCS1625Z ultra-high-precision Z-Foil surface-mount current sensing chip resistor. The new device provides an industrial-grade absolute TCR of ±0.05ppm/°C from 0°C to +60°C and ±0.2ppm/°C from -55°C to +125°C, +25°C ref., an excellent power coefficient (ΔR due to self heating) of ±5ppm at rated power, and a tolerance of ±0.2%. While typical current sensing resistors offer a load-life st...
Syfer capacitors now offer better capacitance vs package size combinations
Innovative developments in ceramics materials and manufacturing technology have led to significant extensions in the range of high voltage multilayer, surface mount chip capacitors, available from Syfer Technology. The ability to reduce package size or increase capacitance range in the same package size will prove critical to meeting today’s tight design constraints.
Automotive Thin Film Chip Resistor from Vishay
Vishay Intertechnology has announced the release of the industry's first professional automotive thin film chip resistor in the 0603 case size to combine a high operating temperature to +175°C (1000 hours) and an advanced level of rated power.
Vishay launches Solid Tantalum Chip Capacitor With 63V Rating
Vishay Intertechnology has announced that has extended its TANTAMOUNT Hi-Rel COTS T97 series to offer the industry’s first solid tantalum chip capacitor with a 63-V rating to meet derating requirements in +28-V power supply designs.
Capacitor array from Murata
Murata has introduced what it says is the world’s first 0.9 x 0.6mm (0302) 1.0μF 2-element capacitor array, part number GNM0M2R60E105M. This new 0302-size 2-element capacitor array has achieved 1.0μF per element, which is unprecedented even for a single 0.6 x 0.3 mm (0201) device.
3.3V TVS from Solid State Supplies
Providing telecom/datacom system designers with the industry’s smallest 3.3V working voltage protection device rated for 100A GR-1089 intra-building lightning surge, the new TClamp 3302N, a 3.3V, low-capacitance TVS device from Solid State Supplies delivers superior electrical performance, yet uses almost five times less board space than competitive devices
Do you have Quality on your Conscience?
A campaign for quality – In times of economic strife and worry, it all too often falls on purchasing teams to cut costs by sourcing cheaper component parts. Is this just a short term saving that will come back to haunt you in the long term? Devlin Electronics believe many of us have more than a few component skeletons in the closet.
