Introduction Power electronics play a crucial role in modern electrical engineering, essential for efficiently converting, controlling, and managing electrical power within circuits. These components are designed to handle high voltages, currents, powers, and temperatures, making them vital for various industries. Within power electronics, components are broadly categorized into passive components, such as power resistors, diodes, […]
April 24, 2024 — TDK Corporation recently announced the new EPCOS B43659 series of snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitors. This is the next generation of ultra-compact general-purpose components for voltages of 450 V (DC) featuring an extremely high CV product. It provides the same features and serves the same applications as the previous series; however, the B43659 is […]
ST’s LDH40and LDQ40 voltage regulators for automotive and industrial applications start-up from an input as low as 3.3V, operate with up to 40V applied, and have low quiescent current. The LDH40 delivers up to 200mA and is available in one version only, having adjustable output voltage from 1.2V to 22V. The 250mA LDQ40 is available […]
April 18, 2024 — STMicroElectronics releases regulators for automotive and industrial applications that can start from input voltages as low as 3.3V, operate at voltages up to 40V, and feature low quiescent current, the LDH40 and LDQ40. The LDH40 delivers up to 200mA and is available in one version only, having adjustable output voltage from […]
SNA capacitors are rated for a life of 5,000 hours. Voltage ratings are 250, 420 or 450Vdc, capacitance is between 82 and 1,500µF (±20%), and there are 24 case sizes spanning 22mm diameter x 25mm long to 35∅ x 50mm. As well as the standard two-pin types, for extra stability there is are four pin […]
CL32C223JIV1PN# (yes, there is a # in the part number) is aimed at CLLC resonant power supply topologies and is constructed with a COG dielectric. Operation is across -55 to +125°C and it has a ±5% tolerance. Packaging is a 2.5mm tall 3.2 x 2.5mm surface mount 1210 (‘3225’ metric). “MLCCs specified for use in […]
This module acts as a fully functioning Bluetooth® LE and Wi-Fi radio node, capable of a long autonomous operation on battery power. It can form the core of an autonomous IOT device requiring Bluetooth LE and Wi-Fi connectivity. The device uses Insight SiP’s proprietary “Antenna-in-Package” techniques. The module is based on NXP’s RW612single-chip Wi-Fi/BLE/802.15.4 Wireless […]
Andrew Lacey is to fill the newly-created COO position at Integrated Graphene, a company built around a carbon-based electro-active material it brands ‘Gii’. “Andrew will be responsible for developing Integrated Graphene’s global manufacturing capabilities, enabling commercial quantity international selling of Gii into North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions,” according to the company. […]
No permanent magnet, external or internal, is needed, and external magnetic fields are rejected. MLX92442 only requires a nearby electrically conductive object for triggering. It comes in either a through-hole single in-line package (flattened TO-92) or a surface-mount SO-8, and is activated by objects within ~1mm of its front surface so long as they are […]
