The Contrinex Series 300, a range of tiny, flush mountable inductive sensors available with housing diameters of 3mm and M4, with body length of only 22mm is now available from Aerco.

Arrow has extended its EMI and RF filtering product portfolio with the addition of Yageo’s new SC series of multilayer capacitors in 1808 and 1812 case sizes certified to IEC384-14 / IEC60950 / EN 132400 for power and telecom applications. The main applications for the new Yageo devices are as X (line-to-line) or Y (line-to-ground) capacitors according to IEC definitions. All feature a dielectric withstand voltage of 1500VAC at 60Hz and all car...

For use in 22mm and 30mm pushbutton applications, Switchtec’s SCL 10D pushbuttons are a cost effective, alternative to other high profile brands, providing specifiers and buyers with an alternative or secondary source for improved pricing structures and/or a secure, constant supply of switches. Aimed at OEMs, CEMs, panel builders, and equipment manufacturers, the pushbuttons are for use in a wide variety of control panels in both industrial a...

ATC Semitec's SEFUSE D6X is said to offer a new concept in thermal fuse technology. By combining a thermal fuse element and resistor on a single substrate, NEC has created a fast-acting ultimate protection device for high power DC applications upto 12A/32VDC.

Raychem Circuit Protection, a business unit of Tyco Electronics, has announced the introduction of its PolySwitch LVR series of resettable circuit protection devices. PolySwitch LVR devices help protect electric motors and transformers used in commercial and home appliances from failures caused by mechanical overloads, overheating, stall, lost neutral and other potentially damaging conditions.

New from Foremost Electronics is a range of short-travel haptic switches which, having the option of an integral LED, are ideally suited to a broad spectrum of switched control applications, such as in an automotive steering wheel which typifies its current use.

Groundbreaking patented technology and intelligent design have allowed passives specialist AVX to develop a number of exciting new electronic component devices in 2006 such as FLEXISAFE Ultra Safe capacitors for high protection against mechanical cracking issues; 2-terminal Land Grid Array capacitors that offer Equivalent Series Inductance similar to 8-terminal IDCs; and CoreCap capacitors that deliver Equivalent Series Resistance down to 3mΩ a...

Recently added to Tyco Electronics’ CGS range of power resistors, new aluminium housed THS series power resistors are based on the high performance HS series devices, featuring same basic performance levels but at lower costs.

A new method of heatsinking has been developed by Ohmite which is proving popular with design engineers because it solves the problem creating a gap if the screw is overtightened when installing conventional TO-220 resistors and creates optimal thermal transfer between the resistor (or semiconductor) and the heatsink.

Lorlin Electronics, the UK’s longest established switch manufacturer, is pleased to announce the availability of its wide range of coded rotary switches for control and programming functions.
