Distribution

Digi-Key Corporation has announced a global distribution agreement with Nordic Semiconductor, a provider of ARM-based Bluetooth Low Energy solutions. Nordic Semiconductor is a fabless semiconductor company that specialises in ultra-low power (ULP) short-range wireless communication in the license-free 2.4 GHz and sub-1-GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands.

A world leader in high-end rubidium and crystal based, GNSS synchronised, oscillators and timing modules Spectratime’s new patented SRO-5680 (GPS/GNSS Synchronised Rubidium Oscillator) is now available in the UK via Aspen Electronics. It is the industry’s first smart Rubidium clock (SRO), integrating a host of complex timing and synchronisation functionality all in one low-cost, ultra-small, package.

Dialog Semiconductor’s pan-European sales & marketing representative, Ismosys, has released details of its new high performance, 15W single-stage, AC/DC offline power supply controller for dimmable LED luminaires that require high Power Factor (PF), low total harmonic distortion, outstanding TRIAC dimmer capability and low BOM cost.

Luso Electronics Distribution has announced the availability of the high-input-voltage NiQor family of DC-DC converters for a range of industrial and telecom applications. Included within the range is a product that is suited to use in HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicles) or in a range of portable battery-charging applications such as fuel cell or solar-energy based power generators.

Rutronik is now stocking the NIS5132 resettable electronic fuse from Diodes. Suitable for hot plug consumer and industrial products, including external disks, printers and servers, and helping to raise power system reliability by protecting against shutdown and catastrophic failures the device has been designed to allow products to restart enabling a reduction in unnecessary field returns.

Rochester Electronics has expanded its continuing manufacturing and support services of obsolete and active MIL-STD-883 and MIL-PRF-38535 integrated circuits for military and aerospace applications. Through its Extension-of-Life products and solutions, the company continues to manufacture National Semiconductor’s 54AC00/QCA (5962-8754901CA), Intel’s 87C51 and Texas Instruments’ UA733M/BIA (8418501IA) to MIL-STD-883 and MIL-PRF-38535 specifications.

Rutronik is now stocking the Jupiter SL869 V2 GNSS module from Telit. A member of the SL869 family it is based on the low-power Mediatek MT333. The complete multi-GNSS receiver has been designed to offer both easy integration and enhanced battery-life performance thanks to an ultra low standby current.

Zytronic’s Multi-Touch Projected Capacitive Technology (MPCT) which currently permits up to 40 independent contact points to be analysed simultaneously on displays of up to 216 cm (85“), is to be introduced by MSC Technologies at this year"s embedded world, to be held later this month in Nuremberg.

BEC Distribution, a distributor for ARCOL Resistor, has announced that the MRA range of High-Precision Meta Film Resistors has now been extended to offer a maximum power dissipation of 2W. The specifications, including the value range, tolerance options and TCR of the whole family of Metal Film resistors have all also been extended.

Rutronik is now stocking Vishay’s new series of power MiniLEDs in ultra-compact 2.3 x 1.3 x 1.4mm SMD packages. Utilising the latest advanced AllnGaP technology, the VLMx234 series provides exceptional brightness with a typical luminous intensity of 3500mcd and maximum luminous intensity of 4900mcd at 70mA, while delivering improved thermal performance.
