Passives

For high pulse voltage, anti-surge axial leaded resistors such as Stackpole’s ASR / ASRM series, offer stable electrical and environmental performance, good pulse handling, and have lower inductance than wirewound resistors. The ASR / ASRM can handle pulse voltage discharges from one to ten kilovolts and are rated for working voltages of up to four kilovolts depending on size and resistance value.

The new HS/ HSL Hybrid Supercapacitors from Eaton provide a power density that is up to three times that of lithium-ion batteries. They are available at Rutronik UK.

Stackpole’s RMCP is a thick film chip resistor with high power capability and is now available in resistance values up to ten megohm. This expanded resistance range and high power handling make the RMCP useful for a wider range of general purpose application requirements and circuit functions.

Vishay Intertechnology has selected Critical Manufacturing’s Manufacturing Execution System (MES) as its new software standard for its business unit Passives. Following the implementation of a pilot plant in Yankton, South Dakota, Vishay plans to roll the new MES out to 30 of its global plants over the next years.

What if engineers could save 30% on room and weight, for a given energy storage function? This is now reportedly achievable with EXXELIA's new FELSIC HC series of aluminium electrolytic screw terminal capacitors.

New Yorker Electronics has stocks of the new Vishay BC Components 190 RTL Aluminum Capacitors for increased design flexibility and board space in high temperature applications.

Industrial and commercial power electronics demand robust resistor performance. When high stability and low thermal resistance are important, standard chip resistors may not be the best solution. Chip resistors with reverse geometry provide terminations on the long sides of the chip, as opposed to the short side terminal for standard chips.

 New Yorker Electronics has announced the launch and release of the Exxelia Dearborn 560P film capacitor product series. The 560P is designed as a cost-effective solution for high reliability and for performance in severe environments.

Stackpole recently enhanced their RNCF0402 size Nichrome precision chip resistor, increasing the power rating to 0.1W for resistance values from 4.7 ohms to 255K for 0.1% tolerances and 25 ppm TCR. This improved power rating allows the RNCF0402 to be used for applications that may normally require an 0603 or 0805 size chip resistor enabling downsizing and making added functionality much easier.

Murata has introduced the ultra-thin LW reversed, low equivalent series inductor (ESL) multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with a capacitance value of 1.0µF ±20% for 4VDC-rated automotive applications.
