Organic capacitors perform better for longer
New aluminium organic capacitors from Micromark C and CD sustain their capacitance at high operating frequencies, thereby enabling component count and system cost savings.
The PVG3A series potentiometers from Murata feature a footprint of just 3 x 3mm, giving over 20% reduction compared with 4mm types.
A sealed construction protects against the ingress of dust and liquid to ensure a stable performance from -55 to +125C, and the range can be cleaned in alcohol-based solvents.
Available in a full range of values from 10ohm to 2Mohm, the PVG3A series is highly adjustable and features a top mounted drive plate with a wide, deep cross-slot for better engagement during automatic adjustment.
In addition, the range is available with gullwing terminations for replacing bulky 4mm devices immediately or J-lead terminals as an alternative.
Rated at 0.25W at 70C, the environmentally friendly PVG3A series is lead free with tin-plated brass terminals and ideal for use in applications such as miniature sensors, radio modules, compact power supplies and optical-fibre transmitters.
