SMD transformers optimized for SiC MOSFET gate drivers
The WE-AGDT series makes a new SMT assembly transformer available, which, at the same time, is part of a power supply solution developed by Würth Elektronik for demanding gate control of SiC MOSFETs. The innovative WE-AGDT is a compact transformer in an EP7 package. It features a wide input voltage range from 9 to 36 […]
PLCC-packaged LEDs feature homogeneous color perception
Würth Elektronik has doubled its product range of SMT assembly white top view LEDs to 30 models. The 3014, 3030, and 5630 packages of the WL-SWTP product group have been expanded to include the “A series”. These new LEDs in PLCC packages feature the best possible lumen per watt ratio and MacAdam binning, thus achieving […]
SMD-packaged LEDs target horticulture apps
SMT mountable LEDs in a 2835 package extend Würth Elektronik extensive range of horticulture LEDs. The three WL-SMTW series LEDs emit light of the wavelengths 450 nm (Deep Blue), 660 nm (Hyper Red), and 730 nm (Far Red) – ideal for applications controlling plant growth through specific light mixtures. Besides vertical farming and lighting in […]
Small coiled metal-alloy power inductors boast high saturation current, high permeability, low resistance
Würth Elektronik announced WE-MAPI, one of the world’s smallest coiled metal-alloy power inductors. It is characterized by a high saturation current, high permeability, and low resistance. The most important area of applications for the WE-MAPI range are high-performance DC/DC converters with a high efficiency for switching frequencies of up to 20 MHz. New additions to […]
Adhesive gap-filler material mates hot components with cold heat sinks
With its WE-TGF (Thermal Gap Filler) Würth Elektronik now offers a new solution for heat dissipation. The outstanding feature of the self-adhesive gap-filler material: The non-conductive barrier with a high dielectric strength has a high thermoconductivity index of 1 W/(m*K). The material easily adapts to the differing thicknesses of components on the PCB and fills […]
Online platform compares aluminum-electrolytic, aluminum-polymer capacitors
REDEXPERT, the online platform for the simulation and selection of electronic components on the basis of real measurements, now has a considerably expanded presence. Würth Elektronik has heeded its customers’ suggestions from the practical area and has installed a feature that enables the direct comparison of aluminum-electrolyte and aluminum-polymer capacitors. The calculation of the ripple […]

The new “Electronic Components 2020” catalog is now available, and can be ordered from Würth Elektronik in the print version or downloaded as a PDF. The 184-page catalog presents new products and services in the area of passive components, optoelectronics, and power modules. Separate special catalogs are available for many other product categories of Würth […]
Super-small current transformers boast 750 Vac insulation voltage
Würth Elektronik expands the product family of WE-CST current sense transformers with the new WE-CST EE4.4 series. An innovative manufacturing process not only makes these current sense transformers extremely small (4.7 x 4.65, 3.55 mm), but also provides better insulation. Their insulation voltage of 750 VAC, is 50 percent higher than that of market competitors. […]
Phototransistor-type optocouplers offer signal transmission with galvanic isolation
With its new WL-OCPT Series 816 product family, Würth Elektronik offers phototransistor-type optocouplers for the first time. These coplanar design optocouplers consist of an infrared LED on the input side and a phototransistor on the output side. They are characterized by a high insulation voltage of 5 kV and a stable current transfer ratio (CTR) […]
