An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Outdoor cooler uses bi-polar thermostatic control from Laird Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Laird Technologies has announced the release of its outdoor thermoelectric cooler series with bi-polar thermostatic control. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release RS Components launches power supply microsite from RS Components: "RS Components is boosting its support for designers of power applications with the introduction of 960 power supply products brought together on a dedicated microsite. ".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Bear Power Supplies - take a look at AC/DC power converters for medical applications which says: "Bear's compact and rugged BP Series encapsulated AC/DC power converters are available for purchase online, simplifying OEM evaluation for commercial, industrial and medical applications. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Linear Technology, Voltage controller with integrated power MOSFET, as well as Valve connector simplifies manufacturing process from Molex, and Driver controller for illumination and signage from Diodes Incorporated.
