Rohm has introduced six miniature surface-mount top-view near-infrared LEDs. There are three packages: one measures 1 x 0.6mm and is only 0.2mm thick including a layer of encapsulation. Emission is 2.8mW/sr at 30mA. The other two measure 1.6 x 0.8mm and have either a lensed top (1.24mm tall, 5mW/sr at 20mA), or a flat top (1.06mm tall, 1.9mW/sr at 20mA) ...
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 ...
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 ...
Delvitech is proud to announce and show a new generation of Automated Optical Inspection systems for the electronic and mechanical manufacturing. Electronic assembly process is moving towards more and more hidden complexity. Varied shaped parts increasing difficulties related to shadows, large components with small pins, high components with short pins, continuous changeover in production due to parts availability, mix of ...
With the Raspberry Pi Pico in mind, UK company OpenLX SP has answered the question: ‘how do I temporarily mount a castellated solder-down PCB module?’. The answer is a connector dubbed Clipzin, which is used in pairs to create a socket for the un-modified castellated module. However, although the connectors are surface mount, they will not mount directly onto the ...
