Stackpole Electronics has released the RNCA Series automotive-grade thin film chip resistors. The AEC-Q200 qualified RNCA Series is manufactured on dedicated production lines with controlled materials and processes to improve electrical stability and environmental resistance. The resistors are engineered to be anti-moisture and anti-sulfur. According to Stackpole, the RNCA Series demonstrates failure rates reduced by a factor of ten or more versus conventional thin film resistors, while maintaining performance across all required automotive qualification tests.
Vishay Intertechnology has released four new power inductors in 0806 and 1210 case sizes, expanding its IHLL (commercial grade) and IHLP (AEC-Q200 automotive grade) portfolios. The IHLL-0806AZ-1Z and IHLL-1210AB-1Z, along with the automotive-qualified IHLP-0806AB-5A and IHLP-1210ABEZ-5A, support inductance values from 0.22µH to 4.70µH with typical DCR as low as 6.6mΩ. The devices operate up to +165°C. The inductors use a composite powdered-iron construction that fully encapsulates the windings. Automotive versions feature side-plated terminations to support solder fillets and inspection, while commercial versions use bottom-only terminations.
Adaptsys Group has released 3DInspect, an automated system for inspecting carrier tape pockets and generating Certificates of Conformance (CoCs). 3DInspect measures carrier tape dimensions and produces inspection reports automatically, reducing inspection time per reel from up to 30 minutes to about one minute. The system replaces manual inspection and documentation. The system can be used as a standalone inspection tool or integrated into tape-and-reel operations.
