Cool-Pad CPR7154 thermal interface material dispenses like a thermal pad, but is said to show characteristics of a grease or gel when device temperatures increase to above 45°C.
Zuken's E3.series platform delivers electrical and fluid design productivity. Available in October, focuses on automating repetitive tasks, improving variant handling and enabling real-time multi-user collaboration. Introduces E3.CloudViewer – browser-based project access and integrated documentation for distributed teams. Faster navigation in complex projects, smarter search-and-replace tools and selective component updates for efficient design changes. Specialized tools such as E3.schematic, E3.cable and E3.formboard gain enhancements for managing large-scale designs, including editable cable lengths, function-based connector naming and clearer manufacturing documentation.
Kyocera AVX's DSCC 25007 Mini BME Stacks is a series of miniature, high-capacitance stacked X7R capacitors designed for military, aerospace and space applications requiring high reliability under extreme operating conditions. Built on proven MIL-PRF-32535 X7R capacitor technology. Delivers combination of compact size, high-CV performance and weight savings. Offers 100% Group A testing and full traceability. Features two horizontally stacked X7R MLCCs in an EIA 2220 package. Features low ESR, low impedance, high current handling and shock and vibration resistance, with lead frame options including J and L styles, paddle or single bar foot configurations, all with tin/lead plating. Rated for -55°C to +125°C, the series supports three voltage ratings (25, 50, and 100V) and nine capacitance values (8.2–47µF).
