Industrial poke-home connector is first without wire stop
AVX Corp. has released the first industrial poke-home connector available without a wire stop. The new 2.5-mm poke-home contact — the latest addition to its 70-9296 Series STRIPT insulator-less, single-position, horizontal, poke-home contacts — combines a low profile with a range of compatible wire gauges: 20–26AWG solid and stranded wire. It is the first in […]
High-temperature, harsh-environment tantalum capacitor technologies
Solid-tantalum capacitors have evolved with better design, construction, and testing methods to handle emerging requirements for harsh, high-temperature applications that put a premium on reliability. Chris Reynolds, AVX Corp. Wet tantalum capacitors are a proven, mature technology. They’ve long been employed in demanding, high-temperature applications because they have a variety of useful qualities. These include […]
