Fuse line adds 0201 packages, protects 28 mA to 200 mA
KYOCERA AVX extended its Accu-Guard II Low-Current Fuses with new 0201 case sizes that deliver the industry’s lowest current ratings. Accu-Guard II Low-Current Fuses utilize thin-film technology to achieve precise control over the components’ physical and electrical characteristics — beyond what’s possible with standard fuse technologies — and deliver extremely low current ratings in compact […]
Power MOSFET supports USB-PD 3.1 buck-boost converters
Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited announced its AONZ66412 XSPairFET MOSFET designed for Buck-Boost converters in USB PD 3.1 Extended Power Range (EPR) applications. The USB PD 3.1 EPR increases the USB-C maximum power up to 240W. AONZ66412 is defined to support the most commonly addressed power range of up to 140W at 28V, with two 40V […]
Chip resistors available for high-power GaN battery management
For GaN-based battery management for consumer electronics and computer peripherals, the demand for high power and precision is escalating. While a variety of technology options offer lower resistance values suited for these applications, all-metal element resistors, like Stackpole’s CSS/CSSH Series, remain a popular choice despite their higher cost and wider tolerance range of 1% and […]
DIN rail power supplies series now includes high-power three-phase AC input options
TDK Corporation announces the addition of higher power, three-phase AC input models to the TDK-Lambda DRB series of DIN rail mount power supplies. With 24V, 48V, and 72V outputs, the products are rated for continuous operation at 480W or 960W and can deliver a boost of 720W and 1440W respectively for up to seven seconds. […]
Relays series expanded with new 3 A DC-rated version
Carlo Gavazzi introduced the expansion of their RM1D Series Solid State Relays, which will now include a 3 Amp DC-rated version. This new addition, the RM1D060D3, will have a rated output voltage of up to 60 VDC. This extension was inspired by evolving market research that showed a large portion of the DC solid-state relay market […]
High-capacity, 100 V automotive MLCCs in miniatures sizes for 48 V architectures
TDK Corporation has expanded its CGA series of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) to 2.2μF in 2012 size (2.0 x 1.25 x 1.25mm – L x W x T) and 4.7μF in 3216 size (3.2 x 1.6 x 1.6 mm – L x W x T), with the industry’s highest capacitance*, as 100V products for automotive […]
100 V Trench Schottky diodes boost efficiency in high-frequency power converters
STMicroelectronics has introduced 100V trench Schottky rectifier diodes that boost efficiency in power converters operated at high switching frequencies. Raising power-converter operating frequency, encouraged by the minimal switching losses of technologies like wide-bandgap semiconductors, allows designers to set new benchmarks in power density. However, at elevated frequencies, the energy losses in conventional planar diodes, including […]
