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 […]
Small footprint surface-mount inductors cover wide temperature range for power-dense apps
TT Electronics announced two new surface-mount device (SMD) power inductors: the HM66M series for use in high frequency power conversion systems and EMI filter applications, and the HM78M series for use in high density and high frequency DC/DC converter applications. The TT Electronics HM66M series power inductors are designed for the complex industrial and telecommunications markets. The HM66M is […]
High energy double-sided chip resistors handle up to 6.5 kV surges
TT Electronics announced high energy double-sided chip (HDSC) resistors, the latest addition to its range of pulse withstanding chip resistors. HDSC chip resistors are untrimmed for improved pulse performance – the only double-sided untrimmed chip resistors on the market – and are ideal for industrial and medical applications such as power supplies, circuit breakers, and […]
Busbar-mounted shunt resistor measures currents in the hundreds-of-amps range
TT Electronics announced E-Beam Welded Shunt resistors for industrial and automotive applications. EBW8518 is an electron beam welded resistance element, sandwiched between large copper terminals with optional tin plating. Precision applications can make use of its 1% tolerance, 100ppm/°C TCR, 1µV/°C thermal EMF and separate ground pins to reduce errors. The low measurement error of […]
