This article provides update on upcoming restrictions and regulations on polymers and polymer additives. The post was written by Mike Kirschner and published by TTI Market Eye. The Polymer Additives Challenge The plastics you use are not pure polymers. A vast...

Coilcraft releases HTX7045C series transformers that feature a chip-style construction – a significant advancement over traditional core and bobbin designs that not only reduces the size of the component, but also streamlines the manufacturing process, resulting in a more...

To help PCBs and other physically connected components survive vibration, board bending, thermal mismatching, and stress during thermal cycling, Knowles Precision Devices has launched a range of leaded standoff components, Metal Frame J-Lead Terminal MLCCs, that are qualified to AEC-Q200. AEC-Q200...

Würth Elektronik’s Application Note ANP125 publishes the results of a study “The acoustic effects of harmonic distortion of aluminum electrolytic capacitors” on harmonic distortion of electrolytic capacitors. The result: Capacitors don’t cause any appreciable signal distortion. The discussion is...

Bel Fuse Inc, a leading global manufacturer of products that power, protect, and connect electronic circuits, today announced the industry’s only surface mount, PPTC resettable fuse, line-volt-rated to 240VAC. Designed to protect against electrical overloads and short circuits, Bel...

Performance of modern power supplies must demonstrate excellent efficiency at all power levels. Lear in this Würth Elektronik and NXP webinar how to improve power supply efficiency at low load conditions. Traditionally, power supply efficiency is important for high...

Knowles Precision Devices releases white paper How to Size a Snubber Capacitor for Your Power Supply. Given that snubber capacitors address the negative impacts of switching, it’s no surprise that they’re most commonly found in switching power supplies. These...

Samtec has expanded its successful line of Edge Rate® board-to-board connectors to include a higher density mated set that is half the width of previous designs and offers a lower-profile 5 mm mated height (ERF6 & ERM6 Series). ERF6 & ERM6 Series...

This podcast by Würth Elektronik explains conditions and processes how to mount through-hole components by reflow. Because of fast assembling and small sizes, designers are turning to surfance mount technology on their PCBs. Although there are still through-hole (THT)...

This Würth Elektronik webinar dives into the fascinating world of miniaturization of printed circuit boards with embedded active and passive components. The efficient use of ever smaller housing volumes and tiny surfaces is becoming increasingly important. Embedding technology is...
