STMicroelectronics announced its power devices to be assembled in the metal topped PolarPAK package. The STK800 and STK850 are 20A and 30A power MOSFETs needing the same 5mm x 6mm board area as a standard SO-8 package with profile of 0.8mm. ST announced a license agreement with Siliconix in March 20...

Vishay released a surface-mount aluminum capacitor series designed to provide capacitance values up to 680 μF and reliability at temperatures up to 125° C. The 140 CRH RoHS-compliant SMD aluminum capacitor is both lead (Pb)-free and solderable under lead (Pb)-free soldering conditions. A polari...

TT electronics IRC Wirewound and Film Technologies Division has developed a rugged thick film resistor with voltage ratings up to 20KV. The CGH Series resistors have power ratings from 1/4W to 5W, and are available in resistance values ranging from 100kOhms to 2000MOhms at tolerances down to ±0.5%; ...

Wolfson Microelectronics has introduced a high input voltage ADC with an extended clocking scheme, to interface to a wider range of host processors. The WM8781 complements the existing WM8782, which was a ADC to accept 2Vrms analogue input signals directly. The device offers a stereo, high performan...

Arco Electronics announced its full-line of high-temperature ceramics designed and tested to operate from -55c up to +200c. The company offers high temperature NPO and X7R dielectric encapsulated capacitors in a variety of sizes from 1515 to 7565. Epoxy coated high temperature NPO and X7R capacitors...

Epcos offers SAW filters and two-port resonators as SMDs in ceramic packages on quartz substrate with a footprint of 3mm × 3mm. This represents a reduction in area of 40 % against the previous package’s footprint of 3.8 × 3.8 mm and even 64 % for the two-port resonator, which used to measure 5 × 5 m...

TT electronics Optek Technology has developed a silicon phototransistor in a miniature surface mount package (0.10” [2.5mm] x 0.08” [2.0]). Designated the OP570 Series, the NPN phototransistors feature an integral lens. The phototransistors are being specified in applications such as non-contact pos...
