‘Discrete Components’
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 Linear Technology - take a look at Voltage controller with integrated power MOSFET which says: "Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4219 5A Hot Swap controller with sense resistor, for protecting low-power boards from inrush current in many RAID, server, telecom and industrial applications.".
Take a look also at the news release from Molex, Valve connector simplifies manufacturing process, as well as Rugged wire cable system allows for blind mating from Samtec, and Driver controller for illumination and signage from Diodes Incorporated.
