that not only save space, but also increase system reliability. New FKS series features an increase in capacitance of up to three times when compared to Panasonic most popular FK series in the same can size. For example, the new 25V 33µF FKS capacitor, which comes in a 4×5.8mm can size, uses just 62% of the space of previous generation parts; in fact the highest capacitance achieved by FK series in a 4×5.8mm can is 10µF. So, one of the new parts can replace three of the FK devices. Comments Dr. Martina Ciacchi, head of Panasonic capacitor team in Europe: “By increasing the capacitance density we simplify our customer´s design, enabling a reduction in parts count and therefore we increase the design reliability. Additionally, the FKS series features a price decrease of about 10% when compared to an FK product with the same capacitance value. ” Panasonic is launching 25 new part numbers in the FKS series aluminium electrolytic capacitor family this quarter, in voltage classes between 6.3V and 50V and capacitance range from 33µF to 1800µF. Can sizes vary from 4×5.8mm to 10×10.2mm. Target markets include industrial automation, automotive, power management, audio and white goods.

output, suitable for driving constant voltage unipolar stepping motors. Toshiba adopted DMOS FET output drivers for its new products to secure the high efficiency customer requires to reduce power loss- DMOS FET do not require a base current, and can accept high current density per device area, keeping on-resistance low. Main Features of New Products High efficiency drive TBD62xxxA series transistor arrays cut power loss by about 38%[4] compared with the TD62xxxA series. High-voltage, large-current drive The absolute maximum output rating is 50V/1.5A. Packages to suit various needs. The line-ups include a DIP type, strongly demanded by the equipment market for hobbies, amusements and industrial fields, and an HSOP type with a heat sink that realizes both high current(1.5A) drive and surface mounting.

TE Connectivity’s UIC series connectors, now available at TTI, provide robust reliability for railway and mass transit applications TE Connectivity’s UIC series connectors, now available at TTI, provide robust reliability for railway and mass transit applications August 2015 – Three new series of heavy-duty interconnects from TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity, are now available in Europe through TTI Inc., a world leading specialist distributor of passive, connector, electromechanical and discrete components. TE’s UIC 552, 568 and 541 series of connectors are designed for rail and mass-transit applications. TE’s UIC 552 series of high power, single pole connectors with automatic cover locking is designed to connect the main line’s rolling stock. This series includes a plug with crimp contacts, distribution box (back or lateral cable outlets), junction box with safety lock, intermediate derivation box and dummy socket with cover. UIC 552 series connectors are robust and durable, providing more than 500 mating cycles, while offering a nominal current of up to 800A (with 185mm2 cable) and nominal voltage of 3000V AC/DC. IP56 certified against high-pressure water jets and salt-spray resistant up to 96 hours, theses connectors can be used in temperatures ranging from minus 50 degrees Celsius up to 120 degrees Celsius. Providing more than 500 mating cycles, the highly durable UIC 568 series connectors are pull-apart circular interconnects featuring a painted aluminium socket,

Panasonic new FKS series aluminium electrolytic capacitors delivers more capacitance while reducing can size Saves space; increases system reliability Panasonic Automotive & Industrial Systems is launching a new series of miniaturized, cost-effective, aluminium electrolytic capacitors
