Combining high thermal conductivity with high conformability, Bergquist has announced its latest Gap Pad HC 3.0 gap filler, creating a high-performance thermal material for applications where low assembly stress is a must.
XP Power today announced the publication of The Essential Guide To Power Supplies. Written as a technical guide for equipment design engineers and specifiers of power supplies, the 156-page guide is a reader-friendly reference for understanding all major aspects of AC-DC power supplies, DC-DC converters and their integration into today’s electronic equipment.
Infineon’s compact signal power MOSFETs are in seven industry-standard package types ranging from the largest SOT-223 down to the smallest SOT-363 measuring 2.1mm x 2mm x 0.9mm. The devices are offered in single, dual and complementary configurations. They are available in N-Channel, P-Channel or Complementary (both P-Channel and N-Channel within the same package) versions to meet a variety of design requirements.
GTK has expanded its range of removable memory card connectors to include a new hinged MicroSD card connector and a combined MicroSD / SIM connector. The hinged connector is ideal for use in applications where high vibration or shock is a potential issue, as the robust hinge locks the card securely in place. The connector has SMT pins and a height of only 1.8mm.
King Bright’s APT surface-mount LEDs has been announced. The versatile LEDs are designed to meet a wide variety of applications – from portable devices, consumer electronics, industrial handheld devices and more. They have low-power consumption and wide viewing angles.
The Silicon Labs EZR32 Leopard Gecko Wireless Starter Kit offers a convenient way to evaluate and develop on the EZR32 Leopard Gecko Wireless MCUs. The kit comes in three options – the WSTK6200, WSTK6201 and WSTK6202 - offering clock frequencies ranging from 434MHz to 915MHz and output power ranging from +10dBm to +20dBm.
The OPA172, OPA2172 and OPA4172 are members of a new family of 36V, single-supply, low-noise operational amplifiers from Texas Instruments (TI). The devices are capable of operating on supplies ranging from +4.5V (±2.25V) to +36V (±18V).
Honeywell’s SE series and XE series miniature sealed basic switches are designed for precise and reliable position indication of critical applications such as aircraft and defence systems. The switches are also suitable for other commercial and industrial applications where a degree of environmental sealing is required. SE Series switches include an SM basic switch.
There are numerous core technologies to consider when designing-in haptics. Certain approaches allow smaller solution size, lower BoM, reduced power consumption and increased responsiveness. By Steve Sheard, Senior Applications & Marketing Engineer, ON Semiconductor
