Kyocera has developed its smallest multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) measuring just 0.25 x 0.125 x 0.125mm. The CM01 series MLCCs are designated as having a 008004 case size. The company has used proprietary electrode printing and forming technologies to reduce MLCC’s space requirement by 60% in mounting area and 75% in total volume, as compared to the 01005 case size. ...
AMS has created a full-colour sensor that matches eye response with RGB, adds special blue sensors for 440nm and 490nm, and another for near-infra-red. Called AS7264N, it is a “tri-stimulus sensor which provides measurements of colour that closely match the human eye’s response to the visible light spectrum,” said the firm. “The sensor also accurately measures blue-light wavelengths, which researchers ...
PSJ2/PSL2 and PSG4/PSF4 are high-power resistive shunts from KOA, with two or four terminals respectively. Added to the PS series, and being stocked in Europe by TTI, they are constructed from solid metal alloy resistance element with copper terminals for what is claimed to be superior corrosion and heat resistance, along with excellent pulse resistance and long-term stability. Applications include ...
Riedon of California has announced current-sensing shunt resistors from 1A to 10kA. The RCS, RSH, RSI, RSJ, RSL, and RSN series of precision shunt resistors have four-point Kelvin connections and go as low as 5μΩ for the 10,000A 50mV RSL-10000-50. Copper-nickel-manganese Manganin alloy is used for temperature stabuility, and standard tolerance is 0.25%, with some series offering 0.1% options. Other options include ...
Coilcraft’s has introduced a series of current sense transformers, operating up to 40A over 400Hz to 1MHz, and offering 4,000Vrms isolation voltage between the sense and output windings, using insulation reinforced to UL 60950-1. To minimise power loss, the resistance of the sense coil is very low: 840μΩ in all versions of the series, dubbed CST2020. Available in four turns ratios ...
Vishay has added tapped holes to some of its high-current shunt resistors to aid PCB and wire mounting. WSBS8518…M3 and WSBS8518…M4 are 36W battery shunt resistors featuring M3 and M4 tapped holes (close to the centre in the photo), respectively. The resistors are 85 x 18 x 3mm With resistance values down to 50µΩ, Vishay markets them as a more ...
Vishay’s makes a 1,500W range of all-welded wire-wound resistors called RBSF1500, which spans 0.234 to 303Ω and offer tolerances down to 1%. They are 508mm long and 63.5mm in diameter and weigh 1.9kg each. In August, Wonderfair Wheel, North America’s largest travelling Ferris wheel, was due to set-up at the Wisconsin State Fair, when, according to Vishay, “it was determined that ...
The iintegrated 1Mp image sensor and processor are claimed to reduce board space by 30%+ compared to competitor products.
Omnivision introduces a NIR sensor technology called Nyxel to increase quantum efficiency (QE) by up to 3x
Vishay Intertechnology has introduced a range of thick-film chip resistors that combine advanced sulfur resistance with good pulse load performance and high power ratings. With automotive and industrial applications in mind, the AEC-Q200 qualified resistors feature a construction that provides a sulfur withstand ability in accordance with ASTM B809‑95, tested at an advanced level of 90 °C for 1,000 hours. The resistors ...
