Passives

Integrated passives combine several discrete devices in a single package, and our approach is to combine low temperature co-fired ceramic technology with established manufacturing techniques

It is not uncommon to see a jet engine with ceramic capacitors on board the engine mount itself

US micro heat pump firm Nextreme has technology to cut heat leakage through its devices.

For volume consumer applications requiring very high capacitance devices, high fire MLCCs are the obvious choice, but low fire devices offer high reliability

AVX has released 'mirror' construction capacitors to lower the profile of its multi-anode low-ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) TPM tantalum capacitor range.

Smart textile firm Peratech has said it will license its Eleksen consumer wearables business into QIO Systems

Zytronic, a manufacturer of touch sensor products has announced the completion of a greater than £3m investment in a new facility, dedicated to the manufacture of its new Zypos touch sensor product

Peratech has completed the acquisition of smart fabric developer Eleksen from the administrators Deloittes

In the need for speed, design engineers may have to choose between upgrading or completely redesigning - interconnect products should support both, write Sandy Barr and Adrian Hyner

Manufacturing passive components in Europe is sustainable in the long term, according to the CEO of supplier Kemet
