BLM15VM is an automotive ferrite beads inductor intended to block frequencies around 5.9GHz. Announced by Murata, it is particularly intended for 5G vehicle-to-everything (5G-V2X) applications. “In recent years, the use of high-frequency wireless communication in the automotive sector has increased.,” according to the company. “It is primarily used for content distribution for navigation, audio and other infotainment systems. Improving sensitivity ...

Vicor is aiming at 48V to 12V conversion with a family of surface-mount dc-dc converter modules ranging from 750W to 2kW. “Power delivery networks are making a decisive shift from 12V to 48V architectures to take advantage of higher efficiency,” according to the company. “The benefits of using 48V have been illustrated in high-performance computing, automotive and in many other ...

Alps Alpine is vying for the title ‘Worlds smallest tact switch’ with one that measures 2.4 x 1.4 x 0.55mm, and is sealed to IP68. The SKUB series has an actuating force of 1.6N and a switching travel of 0.11mm. Switching is up to 12Vdc and 50mA, initial contact resistance is 500mΩ, and a service life of 500,000 switching cycles ...

Same Sky, the company that was called CUI Devices until 04 September this year, has introduced a number of water-resistant surface-mount USB C connectors. “The UJ family now offers waterproof USB receptacles with IPx5, IPx6, IPx7, or IPx8 ratings, making them ideal for applications where moisture is a concern,” said the company. Waterproofing is from the open front port of ...

Bourns has created a surface-mount thin-film resistor series with AEC-Q200 compliance for automotive use. Model CRT-A resistors are available with tolerance of ±0.1, ±0.25, ±0.5 or ±1%, and temperature coefficients of ±50, ±25, ±15 or ±10ppm/°C. These compact, yet high power-rated resistors offering accurate resistance levels are increasingly required in space-constrained applications such as mobile phones, SD cards, DDR memory ...

Taiwan Semiconductor has introduced ten AEC-Q101-qualified small-signal mosfets. There are seven n-channel parts (including two duals), and three p-channel parts (one dual) in the ‘TQM’ line – see the table below. Three packages are used: SOT-236, SOT-363 or SOT-323, and they are rated for >2kV ESD withstanding. “In addition to automotive applications, these small-footprint MOSFETs are ideal for high-reliability commercial designs ...

Infineon is putting 650V silicon carbide mosfet die into two packages with SO-type footprints: a thin (1.5mm) bottom-cooled 8 x 8mm leadless TO (TOLL – TO leadless), and 9.8 x 15 x 2.3mm 16 leg SO version with top-side cooling (‘TOLT’ package) (see photo). Die with typical on-resistances of 20, 40, 50 or 60mΩ are available in either package, and ...

Nexperia has put 1,200V silicon carbide mosfet die into D2PAK-7 surface mount package, also known as TO-263-7. “SiC switches in SMD packages like D2PAK-7 [are] becoming increasingly popular in industrial applications including electric vehicle charging, uninterruptible power supplies and inverters for solar and energy storage.” NSF0xx120D7A0 is the SiC mosfet family name, and they come with different on-resistances: NSF030120D7A0 30mΩ ...

Component distributor Rutronik is offering a series of tiny surface-mount magnetically shielded power inductor from Knitter, The ICSIxxxxxxTxSHyST12 series spans sizes between 1.6 x 0.8 x 0.8mm and 6.6 x 6.4 x 3.1mm, inductance from 0.1 to 10μH and saturation currents from 1.3 to 35A. “The inductor series works reliably at operating temperatures from -40 to +125°C and is suitable ...

Stackpole is offering 0.01% 2ppm/°C precision surface-mount resistors in sizes from 0402 to 2512 (1 x 0.5mm to 6.3 x 3.1mm). Part of its RNCF range, these highest spec parts don’t come in the wide value range of lesser RNCF resistors. For example: 0402 types are available between 49.9Ω and 4.99kΩ, then 2512 has the widest span of options,  between ...
