resistors are particularly suited to applications in the industrial, medical and instrumentation sectors. They provide enhanced product reliability by protecting circuits against occasional surges that may be generated by load switching or lightning strikes close to power lines. For a 100-microsecond pulse, PWC0603 will take 10W, and the double sided DSC version withstands 20W peak power, while for both types the surge withstanding is 1.2/50 microseconds up to 500V. These figures result in enhanced reliability and reduced field failures. In fact, TT Electronics’ PWC0603 and DSC0603 offer a surge withstand performance exceeding that of competing parts. Further enhancing reliability, the resistors feature optional anti-sulphur terminations. In developing and manufacturing the resistors, TT Electronics uses proprietary laser trimming techniques that help to spread the generated heat evenly over the surface of the component. In the case of the double sided DSC0603, the addition of a second resistor film on the underside ensures that heat is spread evenly on both sides of the component. Factors driving the demand for this type of product include the increased sensitivity of modern electrical systems to damage from high-energy surges, and the demand for more compact components to allow miniaturisation of host equipments. PWC0603 and DSC0603 series resistors are available from the following distributors: Mouser, Newark, and Farnell.

Molex CyClone Panel-to-Panel Connector System Rated for 10,000 Mating Cycles Molex introduces the hermaphroditic CyClone Panel- to-Panel Connector System designed for secure high- mating cycle connections. The CyClone connector modules offer 10,000 mating cycles for extreme durability in telecommunications, networking, consumer and industrial electronics. “Many of our customers manufacture products that require more frequent removal of electronic modules for periodic maintenance or access to internal modules. Excess mating and unmating can jeopardize existing connections and potentially lead to total system failure,” explains Randy Tan, product manager, Molex. “The robust CyClone Panel-to-Panel Connector System provides the right solution with a cost-effective and innovative design to withstand the rigors of high-mating cycles.” Hermaphroditic CyClone connectors are ideal for applications requiring frequent mating between parts such as copiers, printers, networking hubs and servers, and automation and industrial machinery. Incorporating proven SL™ wire-to-wire receptacle technology, the CyClone Panel-to-Panel Connector System creates a panel-mounted solution for secure connector retention. The positive-lock SL housing ensures retention even in high-vibration environments by fastening the SL receptacle housing securely inside the CyClone— creating a panel-mount, high-mating-cycle solution. The CyClone connector system increases operational efficiency and reduces customer inventories for added cost savings. This ensures compatibility and mate- ability with no changeover of different application tooling setups, since the system uses only one preset applicator machine. “Genderless CyClone connectors providemanufacturers with optimal design flexibility and compatibility—and provide superior performance for their customers. The robust design and high-mating cycle translate into reliable connector performance over multiple decades,” adds Tan.
