Nexperia announced the industry’s first 80 V RET (Resistor-Equipped Transistor) family. These new RETs or ‘digital transistors’ provide enough headroom for use in 48 V automotive board net (e.g. mild hybrid and EV cars) and other higher voltage circuits which are often subject to large spikes and pulses that previous 50 V parts cannot handle.

SMD Metal-Foil-on-Ceramic resistors boast high surge tolerance, low self-heating
TT Electronics announced the introduction of its Metal Foil Chip (MFC) resistors. The MFC series uses metal foil on ceramic technology, which combines the heat spreading properties of a ceramic substrate with the surge tolerance of a bulk metal alloy resistance element. This, in turn, offers lower self-heating levels than thick-film or metal strip resistors and better surge tolerance than thick-film options, making these resistors particularly well-suited for automotive, industrial, and medical […]
High-power current shunt modules feature 1.5-kV isolation
Riedon has introduced the SSA Smart Shunt series next-generation current sensing modules that combine the attributes of conventional passive shunt resistors with those normally associated with considerably more expensive and bulky closed-loop Hall Effect current sensors. Each featuring a built-in precision amplifier, they offer reinforced electrical isolation (up to 1500VDC), alongside industry-leading levels of stability […]

Bourns, Inc. announced the availability of a new AEC-Q200 compliant series of thick film chip resistors. Bourns continues to take a leading role in introducing space-saving resistor products by offering its latest Model CRxxxxA series in eight compact form factors — from small 0201 (0603 Metric) up to 2512 (6431 Metric). The CRxxxxA series is part of […]
Variable resistor portfolio expanded to meet multiple audio requirements
TT Electronics announced the addition of ten new product families to its professional audio portfolio. The portfolio expansion includes the introduction of five rotary potentiometer families, four slide potentiometers families, and oneencoder series. These new parts are ideal for a variety of applications found in the professional audio industry, including electric guitars, amplifiers, mixers, drum machines, […]
High-current, four-terminal shunt resistors now in 1216 and 4026 sizes
Low resistance values are important for high-efficiency current sensing in that lower values mean less wasted power on the current sensing measurement itself. But sensing low resistance values becomes challenging because of lead resistance. Using a four-terminal shunt resistor eliminates the detrimental effects of lead resistance on the current sensing measurement operation. Stackpole recently added […]
Compact shunt resistors handle 4-W current detection tasks
Rohm recently announced the availability of shunt resistors, GMR50 series, delivering industry-leading 4W rated power (at electrode temperature TK=90°C) in the compact 5.0mm×2.5mm (2010 type package) size. It is ideal for current detection in motors and power supply circuits used in automotive systems and industrial equipment. This new series combines a revised electrode structure with optimized […]
Thick film resistors are metal-glazed for long-term stability
KOA Speer Electronics introduces the RS73F (25ppm/°C) and RS73G (50ppm/°C) ultra-precision metal glaze thick film chip resistors. These 0603 case size resistors will be offered in ±0.1%, 0.25%, and 0.5% tolerances with a T.C.R. as low as ±25ppm/°C and a resistance range from 100Ω to 1MΩ. The RS73 offers excellent long-term stability with its resistance changing by only […]
