By Stephen Oxley, Senior Engineer Applications and Marketing, TT Electronics Lead has long been recognized as a serious environmental hazard. It has a detrimental effect on the workings of the human central nervous system, and this is particularly acute when children are exposed to it. Based on the findings of scientific research conducted during the […]
Lead-free high-voltage resistors future-proof medical and industrial designs
TT Electronics has launched the industry’s first fully lead(Pb)-free thick-film high-voltage chip resistors that allow manufacturers to future-proof medical and industrial equipment designs by eliminating reliance on RoHS exemptions. As environmental regulations become increasingly stringent, the new GHVC Green High-Voltage Chip resistors deliver peace of mind through exemption-free RoHS compliance. With their lead-free thick-film composition, containing […]
Ultra-slim resistive heaters come in standard or custom configurations
TT Electronics has introduced the WSHR family of ultra-low-profile resistive heaters to provide compact, dynamic heating and temperature control for applications such as enclosure heating, chemical or food processing, sealing, printing, and medical humidifiers. Less than 2mm thick, and weighing as little as 6.5 grams, WSHR thick-film on steel heaters save the space consumed by […]
Compact, surface-mount IR LED emitter generates uniform, parallel light for high-precision apps
TT Electronics has introduced a compact, infrared LED emitter with the industry’s largest spot diameter of 7mm for super-reliable optical sensing and position encoder applications. With up to 10mW total radiated power at the maximum drive current of 100mA, and 2.25° angle of half intensity, the OP207CL couples optical flux extremely efficiently onto the receiving photo-sensor […]
Infrared LED emitter spans -40°C to 105°C temperature range
TT Electronics has introduced a compact, infrared LED emitter with the industry’s largest spot diameter of 7mm for super-reliable optical sensing and position encoder applications. With up to 10mW total radiated power at the maximum drive current of 100mA, and 2.25° angle of half intensity, the OP207CL couples optical flux extremely efficiently onto the receiving […]
Miniature AEC-Q200-certified power inductors have a low profile
TT Electronics, a global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, has announced the introduction of the HA66 SMD power inductors for use in high power density applications where size is critical. The inductors’ compact design, together with their AEC-Q200 certification provide the performance and reliability levels that automotive and high reliability industrial applications demand. […]
High-reliability thick-film resistors come in 0603-sized packages
TT Electronics has announced the introduction of two additional resistor types that expand and enhance its high-reliability CR and HR series. The latest versions of these thick-film chip resistors are in the smaller 0603 size and hence offer greater opportunities for use in compact circuits where guaranteed performance and footprint size are critical. For use […]
Current sense resistors for power supply and motor drive designs feature values down to 200μΩ
The LRMAP5930 series of low resistance, metal alloy current sense power resistors feature values down to 200μΩ and a corresponding power rating on standard FR4 PCB of up to 10W, the maximum measurable current is over 200A, and hence in most cases restricted only by the capacity of the PCB tracks. A 50% higher power […]
High pulse-withstanding resistors in a compact package
The HPWC (high pulse withstanding chip) range of high energy surge resistor products are designed to maximise the level of surge performance available in a single-sided flat chip design. The HPWC range targets protection and discharge applications in compact power supplies and power control circuits that need a resistance tolerance of five percent. Available in […]
Heatsinks boost thermal performance of power resistors
TT Electronics has announced the WMHP-HS heatsink specifically designed to optimise the thermal performance of its WMHP series power resistors. Providing a combination of high surface area, superior cooling performance, compact dimensions and light weight, the PCB mounting heatsink is ideal for use in power supplies, power amplifiers, motor drives and inrush current control applications requiring […]
