Stress & Strain, Part 2: Implications for electronics
The mechanical strain induced on electronic components due to mechanical and thermal stress is an important aspect of their performance consistency and limitations; stress is also used to enable some materials to provide critical electronic functions. Part 1 of this FAQ looked at the basic principles and tests for material strain when stress is applied. […]
Anti-sulphur, high-reliability thin-film chip resistors optimized for harsh environments
TT Electronics, a global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, announced the APC Series resistors, its family of high reliability surface mount resistors that have been qualified for use in environments exposed to sulphur-bearing gasses. Featuring stability and tight tolerances, APC resistors are optimised for high precision analogue circuits deployed in polluted environments […]
Lead-free chip resistor networks designed for RoHS compatibility
TT Electronics announced the latest series in its Green Thick-Film chip portfolio – the GBCN, a thick-film chip array that is completely free of Pb (lead) and its compounds. As environmental regulations become increasingly stringent, the new GBCN series deliver peace of mind through exemption-free RoHS compliance. These resistors meet growing industry demand for pull-up, […]
Micro-sized slide potentiometers for consumer, audio, medical, or industrial applications
TT Electronics has combined miniaturization with economy in the PSM050S-10B10KB – part of the PSM series of long-life miniature PCB mount slide potentiometers for audio, consumer, medical, and industrial applications. Available in six resistance variants ranging from 500Ω to 50kΩ, and offering linear response with better than 5% linearity tolerance, the 10mW micro miniature potentiometer […]
Thin-film-on-ceramic high-density resistor networks designed for reliability
TT Electronics, a global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, has launched the QSOP-C and SOIC-C high-density resistor networks that combine high precision with stability and reliability. By using a ceramic substrate and a relatively large feature size, they offer better cross-talk performance than types based on silicon substrates. With target markets in […]
Precision chip resistors sport ±0.05% tolerances
TT Electronics has announced an extension to its WIN series range of precision chip resistors with improved tolerances and TCRs. The minimum ohmic value is now halved to 5 ohms, and a tolerance of ±0.05% and TCR of ±15ppm/°C is now included. In addition, WIN is now available with optional SnPb terminations, allowing its use […]
