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 ...
Posifa Technologies is introducing its PVC4001-C MEMS Pirani vacuum transducer, part of its PVC4000 series. The PVC4001 configuration combines a MEMS thermal conduction sensor, measurement electronics, a microprocessor, and an onboard barometric pressure sensor. This is within an ultra-compact PCB assembly with a connector-terminated wire harness, said the San Jose company. The device is aimed at portable digital vacuum gauges ...
TDK is introducing two new DC link capacitor series optimized for on-board chargers (OBCs) in electric vehicles: the ultra compact B43655 and B43656 series. Both series are optimised for forced cooling operation, says the company. It highlights the series support the growing trend toward higher voltages and currents in next-generation OBC platforms. They are available in compact snap-in designs ranging ...
TDK is expanding its NTCSP series of NTC thermistor components with two new options. For temperature detection and temperature compensation, they are primarily aimed at automotive power modules. For example, applications such anti‑lock braking systems (ABS), transmissions, and engines. As mentioned, there are two further variations in the series: NTCSP163JF103FT1H and NTCSP164KF104FT1H. They differ on resistance and the B constant ...
Rutronik has announced a range of transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes from YAGEO for circuit protection. They cover standoff voltages from 5V to 600V and surge power ratings from 400W up to 5,000 W. And the AEC-Q101 qualified series is aimed at applications in automotive, industrial and energy markets. Other features highlighted by Rutronik include low-profile DFN packages for space-constrained ...
Microchip has announced a family of non-hermetic plastic uni-directional TVS (transient voltage suppressor) devices that meet the MIL-PRF-19500/716 for aerospace and defence. “These TVS devices are the first in the industry to achieve MIL-PRF-19500 qualification in a plastic package,” claimed the company. Voltage ratings range from 5V to 175V, and Microchip lists several variants: JANPTX1N5555UJ JANPTX1N5558UG JANPTX1N5629AUJ JANPTX1N5665AUG JANPTX1N5907UG JANPTX1N5907UJ ...
Diodes has introduced a series of low saturation npn and pnp bipolar transistors optimised for automotive power switching and control. “With BVceo up to 100V, continuous current to 10A – and 20A peak – and saturation voltage as low as 17mV, these transistors minimise conduction losses,” according to the company. There are 12 devices, all in 3.3 x 3.3mm surface-mount ...
If you ignore power devices, it is not often that a new discrete semiconductor is announced, but today is one of those days – albeit for a lamented former low-noise n-channel JFET. “When NXP discontinued the BF862, customers faced lost support for legacy systems, the need to re-qualify new components, and unplanned end-of-life orders to maintain product continuity,” according to ...
Last year, the ecsn (Electronic Components Supply Network), the body which represents authorised distributors in the UK and Eire, reported that its members were entering 2025 with “extreme caution”. Customer demand was difficult to judge amid trade issues and high customer in-house inventory levels. Its forecast for 2026 is in a similar vein as global trade issues, such as trade ...
Toshiba has launched a 47mΩ 600V n-channel super-junction mosfet in an 8 x 8mm DFN package. With sufficient heatsinking, the device, TK057V60Z, can carry 40A continuously and pulses up to 160A. 47mΩ is the typical on-resistance while passing 15A with a 10V gate drive – maximum resistance under these conditions is 57mΩ. For more effective gate driving, the package includes ...
