Low-profile aluminum electrolytic capacitors feature high-temperature operation
Exxelia is expanding its CUBISIC capacitor range with an HTLP (High-Temperature Low Profile) version. This CUBISIC HTLP offers, in a thin rectangular packaging, the highest energy density of capacitors in its class, combined with a high-temperature resistance (-55° → +125°C). The new range of CUBISIC HTLP offers up to 60% more capacity than any other […]
Single-phase line filters sport IP20 protection, DIN-rail mounts
Phoenix Contact presented a new portfolio of single-phase line filters with and without overvoltage protection. The DIN rail-mountable, universally applicable EMC filters have IP20 protection. In addition to the filters for power supply systems, a filter with integrated surge protection is available for signaling systems. The new EMC filters for power supply systems are available […]
Four-terminal current-sense shunt resistors sport improved TCR
Current sensing resistors must balance the efficiency requirements of low resistance values, and high current handling with the precision and accuracy requirements of the sensing circuit. But the key requirement of most current sensing circuits is stable performance over temperature. Component TCR is the key measurement parameter for the temperature stability of a resistor. Stackpole […]
Compact inductors address smartphone power circuit demands
TDK Corporation has developed the new TFM201208BLE series of inductors optimized for space-constrained smartphone power circuits. These are available in 0.24, 0.33, and 0.47 µH versions. Each supplied in a 2.0 (L) x 1.2 (W) x 0.8 mm (H) form factor, the inductors in this latest TDK series feature significantly better electrical properties than the […]
High-current power inductors target filtering apps
