Many types of electronic products across a variety of market segments require higher reliability components. Automotive grade resistors offer increased reliability and improved performance without the high cost and limited availability of components procured to established reliability military specifications. For those applications that also require a defined pulse withstanding the options become limited. Stackpole’s RPCA […]

Gate driver empowers GaN-based power systems
Innoscience Technology announced the INS1001DE which is designed to drive single-channel GaN HEMTs in either low-side, high-side, or secondary-side SR applications. The new gate driver has dual non-inverting and inverting PWM inputs, enabling flexible operation with the controller, optocoupler, and digital isolator. Independent Pull-up and Pull-down outputs facilitate the control of turn-on and turn-off speeds. Driver […]

Capacitors offer high CV, long lifetime, and compact size for high-density designs
KYOCERA AVX released the new RES Series radial-leaded aluminum electrolytic capacitors. The new RES Series wet aluminum electrolytic capacitors are engineered to deliver high CV values in small case sizes, long-lifetime endurance of 5,000–7,000 hours at 105°C, and high ripple current to help manufacturers save board space in high-density PCB assemblies without compromising on endurance. They […]
Transformers designed for wide operating frequency and temperature ranges
TDK Corporation has introduced two new types of the EPCOS InsuGate series (B78541A). These compact SMT transformers with high working voltage are suitable for gate driver applications for IGBTs and MOSFETs in e-mobility and industrial electronics. The components with a MnZn ferrite core are designed for operating frequencies of 100 kHz to 500 kHz and […]
High-current components with minimal footprint for immersion cooling applications
ITG Electronics has launched a line of narrow-body power beads for high-density applications where component space is at a premium. With a footprint of just 5X9mm and a height of 9.5mm, the company’s SLA36385A Series is ideal for data centers, primary motherboards for servers and storage devices, and other scenarios requiring components to offer high […]
High-voltage DC caps operate to 105°C
TDK Corporation presents a new series of EPCOS power capacitors for DC link applications designed for an operating temperature of up to +105 °C. The components with the ordering code B25695E can operate at rated DC voltages from 700 V to 1300 V (voltage derating necessary from +85 °C). The ESR ranges from 1.0 mΩ […]
Fuse line adds 0201 packages, protects 28 mA to 200 mA
KYOCERA AVX extended its Accu-Guard II Low-Current Fuses with new 0201 case sizes that deliver the industry’s lowest current ratings. Accu-Guard II Low-Current Fuses utilize thin-film technology to achieve precise control over the components’ physical and electrical characteristics — beyond what’s possible with standard fuse technologies — and deliver extremely low current ratings in compact […]
Power MOSFET supports USB-PD 3.1 buck-boost converters
Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited announced its AONZ66412 XSPairFET MOSFET designed for Buck-Boost converters in USB PD 3.1 Extended Power Range (EPR) applications. The USB PD 3.1 EPR increases the USB-C maximum power up to 240W. AONZ66412 is defined to support the most commonly addressed power range of up to 140W at 28V, with two 40V […]
Chip resistors available for high-power GaN battery management
For GaN-based battery management for consumer electronics and computer peripherals, the demand for high power and precision is escalating. While a variety of technology options offer lower resistance values suited for these applications, all-metal element resistors, like Stackpole’s CSS/CSSH Series, remain a popular choice despite their higher cost and wider tolerance range of 1% and […]
