Passives

Murata has released two kits of passive components matched to Nordic Semiconductor Bluetooth and ANT 2.4GHz wireless reference designs based around nRF51x22 and nRF52x32 chips. “The inclusion of all the passive components needed in one package greatly reduces the amount of time and effort required by designers to procure sample-use components,” said Murata. Kits include ceramic capacitors, inductors and crystals, and ...

Aiming at silicon carbide power converters in avionics, Beta Transformer Technology (BTTC) has combined both gate power and gate signal transformers in a single package. Isolation in excess of 2.5kVdc is claimed, as is low parasitic capacitances in order to support the fast transients typical of SiC converters – up to 50kV/µs. Developed with Belgian high-rel chip firm Cissoid, the ...

Vishay expands its Powertron S-Line of precision current sense resistors, aiming at industrial and energy applications.

Knowles is to promote capacitors for electric vehicles at Electronics in Munich, as well as some for 5G telecoms.

Huber+Suhner has launched high flex battery cables for road vehicles. These cables meet ISO 6722-1 and LV112-1 standards, and the new IVECO 11-847 specification. “Flexibility can have its disadvantages, including compromising durability and sturdiness,” said Huber automotive product manager Marc Moser. For improved flexibility compared with what the firm considers standard cables, it has used 0.21mm diameter strands inside and ...

Taiyo Yuden is claiming a thinness record for 0.47µF capacitors, with some 0.11mm tall devices for decoupling in phones and wearables. Called PMK105 BJ474ML and PMC105 BJ474ML, they have a 1.0 x 0.5mm footprint, and are a maximum of 110µm tall. “There is a need to implement higher-density mounting, which includes mounting low-profile parts inside or at the back of ...

Antenova of Hatfield has introduced a miniature antenna for global navigation systems (GNSS) such as GPS.

Cornell Dubilier shows considerable initiative in setting aluminium electrolytics against banks of wet tantalum capacitors in high-reliability long-life applications

Schaffner has expanded its range of common-mode EMC chokes. The current-compensated inductors now have horizontal and vertical mounting options for currents between 0.3 and 10A and the RN series is now rated up to 300Vac. RN dual chokes are available over 0.4 to 100mH operating over DC to 60Hz with common-mode resonance between 100kHz and 3MHz for operation at up ...

Hall sensors from Infineon consume under 1.6mA, have precise switching points, stable operation, compact packaging, replace up to four passive components and come as latch and switch-type sensors. The 5-V versions consume 1.4 mA. They are currently available in high volume. All of the TLx496x Hall sensors – switches and latches – have an integrated Hall element,a voltage regulator,choppers, an ...
