All-weather MPX/MPXB Series metalized polypropylene capacitors suppress conducted electromagnetic/radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) before it can be transmitted via power lines to or from other devices. Designed to connect across the input of an ac mains-powered device, the MPX meets the demanding 85/85 THB (Temperature, Humidity, Bias) test, as well as a full complement of safety […]
Magnetically shielded SMD power inductors for high inductances
Metal Hybrid Inductors, known as the CDMT40 series, offer more than double the inductance values of earlier introductions while maintaining the same small footprint. A newly developed composite material draws on the special qualities of two different metals in the mold structure to provide magnetic shielding, small size, and high current ratings. The CDMT40D40 also […]
Radial-leaded electrolytic caps feature ultra-low ESR, long life, wide temperature range
The NEW FS Series Radial Leaded Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors made by Panasonic features extremely high capacitance, long life and low ESR, all in a significantly smaller case size. The FS Series provides space reduction and allows for a reduced number of capacitors on the board. Low ESR and high ripple current in the FS Series […]
Extreme temperature sockets for 293-pin BGA chips
A new BGA socket addresses high-performance requirements for microcontroller units. Called the – CBT-BGA-6071, the socket contactor is a stamped spring pin with 31-gm actuation force per ball and a cycle life of 125,000 insertions. The self-inductance of the contactor is 0.88 nH, insertion loss < 1 dB at 15.7 GHz and contact resistance is
New LoRa Alliance specs let IoT devices connect, move between LPWANs
The LoRa Alliance, the global association of companies backing the open LoRaWAN standard for internet of things (IoT) low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs), released its latest technical specifications. New features in the latest specification releases include roaming and separation of backend nodes, which will enable IoT devices to connect to and move between LPWANs around the […]
Wire-to-board connectors have metal backshells with EMI shielding
A comprehensive range of backshells with a rugged aluminium alloy construction and electroless nickel plating can be applied to new connector installations or alternatively for carrying out mid production modifications. Developed by Harwin for wire-to-board connectors, the metal shells make connectors more mechanically robust and provide EMI/RFI protection. Incorporated into the female cable versions is […]
Common-mode line filters for SMPS replace discontinued units
The PMCU Series of common mode line filters is designed for switching power supply applications. Offered in both standard winding (for higher efficiency) and sectional winding (for improved high-frequency performance), the updated PMCU offerings have been expanded to include a direct cross for over three dozen PLA10ANxxx and PLA10ASxxx EMIFIL series components recently discontinued by […]
Microcoax connectors carry EMI-shielded covers
The new CABLINE brand VS II Micro-Coaxial Cable Connector from I-PEX is an extension of the CABLINE brand VS Micro-Coaxial Cable Connector which was adopted as the VESA standard connector in 2009. The high-speed contact design is being used for data rates as high as 20 Gbps and supports the latest Thunderbolt 3 and IoT […]
Sensor acquisition modules work with high-def scopes
A Sensor Acquisition Module (SAM40) works exclusively with the Teledyne LeCroy 12-bit HDO family of scopes. The SAM40 provides up to 24 input channels for low frequency (sensor signal) acquisition and analysis. It connects to a 4 or 8-channel Teledyne LeCroy 12-bit resolution high-definition oscilloscope (HD4096 HDOs and MDAs) to provide Analog+Digital+Sensor (up to 8+16+24 […]
Extreme temperature socket for custom-sized devices
A new QFN socket addresses high-performance requirements for custom sized devices. Called the CBT-QFN-7055, its contactor is a stamped spring pin with 31-g actuation force per pin and cycle life of 125,000 insertions. The self-inductance of the contactor is 0.88 nH, insertion loss of < 1 dB at 15.7 GHz and capacitance 0.097 pF. The […]
