Varistor provides enhanced protection and reduces component count
The latest surface-mountable AVX CANBus varistors replace three components typically used to protect against transient voltage spikes: two back-to-back Zener diodes and an EMC capacitor in parallel.
Capacitors are worth listening to!
Niobium oxide and tantalum capacitors, manufactured by AVX, provide high capacitance performance in audio applications. Delivering a clear and rich flow to headphones and speakerphones, the parts realise the low frequency response demanded by high quality audio equipment.
Lead-free tantalums in “R” case size with height options of 1.2, 1.5 and 2.0mm
AVX has introduced a low-profile TAJ lead-free “R” (0805) case size tantalum capacitor. Achieving high capacitance values, the device allows design engineers to reduce the size of their systems by downsizing components, or by reducing the amount of components needed in a circuit.
PCB relay combines reliability with low contact switching
The SCHRACK RT1 power PCB relay from Tyco uses a bifurcated (twin) contact system and is specifically designed for switching from dry circuit up to 16A, including arc-less switching.
High Speed Data Interfaces Protected
Semtech's RClamp0504N, a 5.0V protection device aimed at next-generation monitors, laptops, television set top boxes and networking equipment using high-speed I/O protocols, measures just 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.6 mm.
Bluetooth Benefits From Chip Inductors
The latest family of multilayer chip inductors from Murata features exceptionally low DC resistance, making these miniature devices ideal for use in a wide range of high frequency applications where minimising power consumption is a critical factor.
Low Cost Chip Inductors
Murata has made available a range of low cost chip inductors. The parts are all offered in the space saving 0603 case size and are supplied on 10K reels for high volume pick and place manufacturing environments.
SAW filters and Resonators
Responding to the increased demand for the compact integration of RF and allied circuitry with high speed digital devices, Murata is offering a wide range of compact SAW resonators and filters for use at higher frequencies.
Capacitor Arrays Reduce Costs and Space
Murata has launched a number of new capacitor array products specifically aimed at those seeking to meet tough cost and form factor constraints, while maintaining product quality and further reducing PCB real estate.
Noise Suppression without Distortion
For designers seeking to suppress common mode noise on high speed differential signal lines, without distortion, Murata has announced the DLP0NS Series of compact, low profile, film-type common mode choke coils.
