Charcroft & AMC will work proactively with you to fully understand your requirements and recommend the best solution compatible with your application needs.

KEMET Corporation today introduced its new HiQ-CBR Series Surface Mount Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) in C0G dielectric. The HiQ-CBR Series features a robust and exceptionally stable copper base metal electrode dielectric system that provides excellent low loss performance (high Q). These devices are suitable for many circuit applications including radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, low noise amplifiers, filter networks, antenna tuning, timing circuits, delay lines, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coils.

Ohmite introduces the C series (Pat. Pending). This series offers high performance, low cost and a compact heat sink with an integrated camming clip system for TO-247 packages (TO-220 and TO-264 available). This powerful heat sink provides tool and fixture free assembly operation, largest surface areas and smallest space occupation. It is the ideal type of heat sink for high power density and small size (1U or 2U) electronic packaging with forced convection cooling.

The unique design (patent pending) of the W Series heat sinks combines a tin plated, solderable, integral spring clip with an extruded aluminium heat sink body for an all-in-one solution to through-hole mounting of TO-220 or TO-247 packages. These self-aligning heat sinks feature solderable feet and an integrated clip with 13.2 (lbf) of force on the centre of the device to enhance thermal performance.

The CAR, built on Vishay´s Bulk Metal® Z-foil technology, provides a combination of low noise and low inductance /capacitance, making it unrivalled for applications requiring distortion-free properties. It's special "naked Z-foil resistor" design, without case or encapsulation, adds an additional dimension for reducing signal distortion and increasing clarity in signal processing. The SCAR also uses Vishay´s Bulk Metal® Z-foil technology and offers all the features of the leaded CAR but in a surface mount version with wrap around terminations.
