Panasonic’s ERJPC high precision thick-film resistors series claim to deliver accuracy levels previously only achievable with thin film technology. With a TCR (Temperature Coefficient of Resistance) as low as 25ppm/K and tight tolerance options down to ±0.1% and ±0.5%, the new devices provide twice the power density than thin film solutions. “Our thick film technology is a real alternative to ...

In recent years, defense spending across European Union member states and NATO countries has continued to rise, driven by the Russia-Ukraine conflict and increasing regional security concerns. As a result, military modernization programs are accelerating, with strong investment in advanced platforms such as radar systems, counter-UAV technologies, and electronic warfare. At the same time, emerging technologies—including More-Electric Aircraft (MEA), GaN/SiC ...

Richardson RFPD is stocking 0402 (1005 metric) glass sandwich resistors designed to work from dc to 40GHz. Made by Kyocera AVX, and called the UBR series, they measure 1 x 0.5 x 0.5mm and have a flexible termination. “‘Flexiterm’ is a surface-mountable, automotive-qualified termination that adds an extra margin of protection against damage due to flexure during installation,” according to ...

Alternatives for Murata’ LQH series of fixed inductors are available with short lead times of between five to seven weeks, announced BEC Distribution. The wire wound, surface mount fixed inductors have a high Q value for low resistance and also have a high inductance for filtering high frequency noise. A spokesperson told Electronics Weekly that typical specifications include an operating ...

Bourns has added 20 Multifuse polymer PTC resettable fuses in 1206 packages to its circuit protection portfolio, the Model MF-NSMF series. The new higher power rated fuses provide expanded over current/over temperature protection selection options in the compact 1206 footprint to save board real estate or to reduce design size and costs. The latest additions to the portfolio use the ...

A single capacitor can influence the lifetime and quality of entire electronic devices. These components wear out relatively easily and are used in virtually all circuits, including power supply modules, filters and voltage converters. Therefore, it is worth getting familiar with a range of brand-name components, such as Panasonic products, designed to ensure long-lasting and reliable operation. Nowadays, it is ...

Kyocera AVX has announced a range of high-capacity supercapcitor banks with low leakage. “SCM Series supercapacitor modules are rated for operating temperatures from -40°C to +65°C and lifetimes that extend to millions of cycles,” according to the company. “They are also lead-free compatible, RoHS compliant, and compliant with the UL 810A standard for electrochemical capacitors.” Initially there are five versions: ...

Eaton has introduced a pair of 500F sealed supercapacitor banks, replacing its earlier XLR-16R2507-R, according to component distributor Rutronik, which is stocking the new parts. They are: The 16.2V XLR16R2507B-R, which can store up to 18.2Wh and deliver up to 38.6kW or 2.19kA peak (9.6kA shorted, 121A continuous). Maximum ESR is 1.7mΩ and 5.2mA leakage is expected. The 18V XLR-18R0507B-R ...

Bourns has introduced a series of gas discharge tubes for protecting equipment against high-voltage surges. The bidirectional GDT28H series has devices with breakdown voltages from 1 to 3.3kVdc, and all are 8mm in diameter and 6mm long, with out without axial leads. Picking the nominally 2kV GDT28H-200 as an example, breakdown is between 1,600 and 2,400V (100V/s). Arc voltage is ...

Cornell Dubilier has introduced supercapacitor modules for use at 9, 18 or 30V. “The DSM series modules are offered in packs with 3, 6 or 10 cells in series, and capacitance values range from 0.15 to 36.6F,” according to New Yorker Electronics, which is stocking the parts. “Unlike lithium-ion batteries, there is no charge-discharge cycle degradation and no risk of ...
