Nexperia announces the release of single and dual small-signal MOSFETs in miniature DFN packages. The automotive qualified devices are available in DFN1110D-3 and DFN1412-6 respectively. Particularly the DFN1110D-3 (1.1mm x 1mm) package has seen increasingly wide adoption and is quickly becoming the ‘de-facto’ industry standard package for small-signal MOSFETs and bipolar transistors intended for use…

TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the 3000 watt TDK-Lambda brand HWS3000 programmable AC-DC power supplies in a 270 x 150 x 61mm case size. The nominal output voltages (24V, 48V, 60V or 130V) and output currents are fully programmable (CV/CC) from zero up to their maximum rating. The HWS3000 series is available with an…

Listen to this article Pre Metro has proposed the Stourbridge Dasher be considered to connect Dudley sooner rather than later, which could save taxpayers hundreds of millions of pounds while delivering enhanced connectivity and economic revitalisation. The Stourbridge Dasher is being proposed as a cost-effective replacement for Phase 2b of the Wednesbury and Brierley Hill…

For industrial operations that require oxygen, self-producing the gas is a reliable and cost-efficient solution. An on-site oxygen generator gives users complete control over their oxygen supply while removing the logistical challenges of purchasing gas themselves, reducing the cost of oxygen, and eliminating gas delivery emissions. Atlas Copco’s new OGP is available in 17 sizes,…
