SMD versions of 5mm and 7mm disk varistors handle up to 30J
The PV Series from Stackpole offers two chip sizes, 3225 and 4032. These two sizes correspond to the equivalent 5mm and 7mm disk MOV’s offering protection for circuits with working voltages ranging from 11 Vrms to 300 Vrms. The PV Series varistors are UL recognized with the capability to handle up to 30J of energy […]
Thick film chip resistors offer failsafe operation
Stackpole’s RPC Series thick film chip resistors offer outstanding pulse power handling capability and defined voltage handling characteristics. The AEC compliant RPC Series utilizes a unique design and manufacturing process to provide pulse withstanding many times greater than that of standard chip resistors.However, unlike standard chip resistors, the pulse handling is reliable and consistent. In […]
Safety-isolated LED-driver ICs deliver flicker-free output up to 65 W
The LYTSwitch-6 family of safety-isolated LED-driver ICs target smart lighting applications. The new ICs deliver flicker-free output up to 65 W and feature up to 94% efficiency and as little as 15 mW standby power with configuration options for two-stage or single-stage PFC support. Targeting smart residential and commercial fixtures and low-profile ceiling troffers, LYTSwitch-6 […]
LED drivers target high-lumen-output apps with high-voltage output
The 100-150W HVO Series is the latest addition to the Incore family of high-performance constant-current LED power supplies.

Weatherproof […]
“Twisted” light to make fiber-optic cables obsolete?
Researchers have taken an important step towards using “twisted” light as a form of wireless, high-capacity data transmission which could one day make fiber-optic cables obsolete. In a recent paper in the journal Science Advances, a team of physicists based in the U.K., Germany, New Zealand and Canada describe how new research into what’s called […]
Horticultural LEDs cover UV-C to Far-Red light spectrum
A new family of Horticultural Series LEDs in COB in mid-power, and high-power packages, also includes Seoul Semiconductor’s SunLike Series natural spectrum LEDs, which produce light that closely matches the spectrum of natural sunlight. Seoul introduced the new Horticultural Series LEDs at the 2017 Horticultural Lighting Conference in Denver, CO, on October 17. One of the […]
