Würth Elektronik introduces another high-quality switch from the series of washable tact switches. The WS-TASV Tact Switch for SMT assembly is particularly space-saving with a footprint of just 4.1 x 2.8 mm and a height of 1.9 mm. Three variants are available, color-coded according to their actuating force: 200 grams (black), 300 grams (white), and 400 […]

Multilayer chip antenna covers 700-960 MHz, 1,710-2,690 MHz ranges
Würth Elektronik is now launching an additional multilayer chip antenna for the miniaturization of radio applications. Measuring just 40 x 6 x 5 mm, the WE-MCA antenna (7488918022) covers the 700 to 960 MHz and 1710 to 2690 MHz frequency ranges. With its hitherto unachieved form factor and slender profile, the antenna offers an excellent size-to-performance ratio. […]
SMD ceramic inductors feature high Q, high thermal stability
Würth Elektronik has expanded its WE-KI product family with further ceramic inductor variants in 0603 and 0805 packages. Now the portfolio includes over 300 models in four sizes from 0402 to 1008, optionally with ±2 and ±5 percent tolerance. With the new range of models, the available inductance values cover 1 to 1800 nH. The […]
Matching service optimizes GSM-900, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS/GNSS, ZigBee, 4G/LTE antenna placement
Würth Elektronik now offers developers wanting to use WE-MCA series chip antennas a free matching service. WE-MCA are compact SMT-mountable multilayer ceramic chip antennas available in numerous single and dual-band versions. The antennas, therefore, provide a space-saving solution for GSM-900, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS/GNSS, ZigBee or 4G/LTE enabled devices and facilitate compact designs for IoT and smart […]
Multilayer-ceramic RF coils come in 1 nH to 470 nH range
Cost-effective RF coils integrated in a multilayer ceramic structure—with WE-MK, Würth Elektronik offers a wide range of SMT inductors with high self resonant frequency (up to fRES > 10 GHz). WE-MK is available in three different sizes—0201, 0402 and 0603—as well as various inductance values from 1 nH up to 470 nH. The WE-MK inductors have […]
Tiny temperature sensor handles wide -40 to 125°C range
The WSEN-TIDS temperature sensor from Würth Elektronik measures just 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.5 mm but offers a wide range of applications. Its accuracy in the measuring range -40 to 125°C is ±0.5°C, while in the range -10 to 60°C it goes down to ±0.25°C. Applications extend from PCB temperature monitoring and system monitoring for […]
MEMS-based absolute pressure sensors target altimeter apps
Würth Elektronik presents a very compact MEMS-based (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) absolute pressure sensor: The 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.8 mm sized WSEN-PADS measures pressure in the range between 26 and 126 kPa. Its output data rate can be selected between 1 and 200 Hz. The sensor contains an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) and a temperature sensor. […]
Solderable seals sport high elasticity for use with surface-mount components
With WE-SMGS, Würth Elektronik offers solderable seals for surface mounting. The WE-SMGS consists of a temperature-resistant foam material, which combines the conductive seals with high elasticity. After compression, they then return to their original shape. The layer surrounding the heat-resistant foam is made of copper weave with tinning. It facilitates the soldering process in the […]
PCB/IC design software gets passive component libraries
Würth Elektronik eisos, a manufacturer of electronic and electromechanical components and Zuken, a leader in PCB and IC package design, announce the launch of new component libraries for CADSTAR. Würth Elektronik eiSos will now provide free-of-charge component libraries of its passive components for Zuken’s CADSTAR design software. The libraries allow users to simply download the […]
Terminal blocks accept wires that aren’t stripped
Würth Elektronik eiSos is launching a series of new terminal blocks. The special feature, thanks to the insulation-displacement technique employed in the WR-TBL terminal blocks, the cables no longer need be stripped. The terminal blocks are supplied in the 3.81 and 5.08 mm spacing pitches, both with and without flanging. According to the cULus method, […]
