Capacitors, resistors, inductors, crystals and filters. The parts that dominate a bill of materials by line count.
TDK's B3272*A/G/T DC-link film capacitor series is qualified for continuous operation at case temperatures up to +135°C, with no derating below +105°C.
Vishay Sfernice has released an Automotive Grade thick film power resistor rated at 35 W in a surface-mount TO-263 (D²PAK) package designed for top-side heatsink cooling.
Vishay Intertechnology has introduced four Sfernice thick film resistor sample kits covering 20 W and 35 W surface-mount devices for automotive and industrial design validation.
TDK has expanded its CN series with a soft-termination 100 V, 10 µF X7R MLCC in the 3225 case size, aimed at 48 V power lines in AI servers, humanoid robots and xEVs.
New CHEP series resistors handle up to 2.8 W without a heatsink, giving RF and satellite designers more power density in standard footprints.
The connector investigation is resolved, followed by a fictional assembly problem involving intermittent capacitor shorts after installation.
