SAW Filters are widely used in commercial and military radio communication systems, consumer electronics and industrial applications given that they are able to provide superior performance, small size and low cost. To service a significant growth in demand Aspen Electronics have announced that they have brought Nanjing Electronic Devices Institute (NEDI) to the UK and European markets.

FTDI Chips is seeking to further assist engineers using its Embedded Video Engine (EVE) technology, and can now supply a comprehensive suite of additional support facilities. These are designed to be utilised with both the established FT800 graphic controller IC and the newly announced FT801, with capacitive touch enabled interface and multi-touch capabilities, which has now been ramped up to full production levels.

CUI Inc is expanding its DIN rail dc-dc product line with the addition of over 90 new high wattage models ranging from 50~600 W. The VHK and VFK DIN families are high efficiency isolated dc-dc converters packaged in a rugged aluminum case that feature an ultra-wide 4:1 input. With efficiencies as high as 92% and an integrated aluminum heat sink, the units are able to operate at higher temperatures with a minimal amount of air flow.

GradConn has launched a new range of low cost co-axial test probe cable assemblies for the inspection of high frequency circuits. Suitable for testing Hirose MS-156 and Murata MM8030 sub miniature coaxial switch connectors, the new probes offer reliable testing of RF circuits from development thru to final production. For Hirose PCB connectors the test probe cable assemblies have a mating test cycle durability of 500 operations and 2,000 with Murata.

Powersolve has announced a significant addition to its range of Power Banks designed to power and charge mobile devices including smartphones, tablets and other USB compatible products. The PCM11AH2 is a ruggedized and camouflaged, rainproof and dustproof unit which can be fully charged from a user’s own mobile USB charger or any other USB charging device.

Samsung Electronics has begun mass producing a new, high-performance SAS-interface solid state drive (SSD) using 10-nanometer (nm) class MLC NAND flash memory. The new Samsung SAS SSD – SM1623 is designed to meet the immediate need of many global customers for cost-effective, high-capacity SSDs.

CLIFF Electronics has been manufacturing test leads for electrical test equipment OEMs for many years and is now making a wide range of test leads available direct to end users via major electrical wholesalers nationwide. The move comes in response to an increasing number of enquiries for replacement test leads and enquiries for types of lead sets not available from other suppliers.
