Passives

Pickering has signed a distribution deal with Testco, the specialist distributor of passive, electromechanical and interconnect components based in Sunnyvale, CA. This means that Pickering’s large range of reed relays for A.T.E. switching and semiconductor test is now available and supported by the distributor across North America.

Stackpole has increased the power rating of its popular RPC Series. The RPC-UP from Stackpole offers 0805 and 1206 size chip resistors with excellent pulse withstanding and high power ratings. RPC0805-UP is rated at 0.5W and 400V working voltage and the RPC1206-UP is rated at 0.75W and 500V.

Stackpole is now stocking 10M, 100M, 500M, 1G, and 10G ohm values of its HVAM axial leaded precision resistors. These resistors are designed for high voltage handling and high resistance values with power ratings from two to ten watts.

A series of miniaturised screw terminal aluminum capacitors that deliver 10% higher capacitance and 10% better ripple current handling for a given can size than previous-generation devices, has been released by Vishay. They allow designers to pack more energy storage into less space.

A range of anti-vibration aluminium electrolytic capacitors from Panasonic are now being shipped by Farnell. The components are suitable for use in DC/DC Converters and AC/DC converters in a wide variety of transportation and harsh-environment applications such as industrial, power supply and robotics, due to their small size, reliability and strong, dependable soldering connectability.

Isabellenhütte has developed a new range of precision resistors in standard sizes with resistances ranging from 1-6MΩ for applications which require small and low ohmic shunts. In terms of their construction, the components are also less complex than the current ISA-PLAN resistance families. And yet, they offer the same performance quality: very good long term stability, a low temperature coefficient, and low thermoelectric voltages.

Exxelia Mil Wet Capacitors, which are in stock at New Yorker Electronics, are now qualified to Level P. The Exxelia MIL 39006/22 (equivalent to CLR79) series has received the P-Level qualification for 0,1% / 1,000h reliability, with voltage ranges from 6V to 125V and a capacitance value ranging from 1,7µF to 1200µF.

Reduced lead times for its MLCCs have been announced by Vishay Intertechnology. Excluding transit, Vishay's MLCCs are now available with leads times as low as in the mid 10-weeks range for Military / Hi-Rel and RF / Hi-Frequency MLCCs.

Nexperia has announced that key parts from its SOT23-packaged family of high-performance, general-purpose transistors and switching diodes are now fully-specified for operation up to 175°C. Included in the range are high-speed switching diodes BAS16/21 and BC807/817 general purpose transistors.

  Stackpole’s engineering design sample kits offer the design engineer lots of options for prototyping new design concepts. For general purpose requirements, thick film RMCF kits offer each resistance value in one percent tolerances in a single decade or five percent tolerances in a two decade span.
