Catalyst could jumpstart e-cars, green energy
Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists have designed a new type of nanostructured-carbon-based catalyst that could pave the way for reliable, economical next-generation batteries and alkaline fuel cells, providing for practical use of wind- and solar-powered electricity, as well as enhanced hybrid electric vehicles.
AVX TAW Fused Tantalum Capacitors
AVX Corporation has developed a family of fused tantalum capacitors that feature an internal fuse to protect against short circuits and damaging high DC leakage currents. Designated the TAW series, the tantalum capacitor will remove itself from the circuit and into fail safe mode when the internal fuse exceeds the current limit.
Very stable Metal Film Resistors from DMTL feature extremely low TCR
The CSR Series resistors can be specified as direct equivalents to products from other leading suppliers but are available on much shorter lead times – typically four to six weeks – and in minimum order quantities as low as a single reel.
