smt"Constant Current" LED Drivers Provide High Output Current
Aimtech driver color first Aimtec Inc. introduced the first two of its new line of step-down DC-DC LED drivers.  Available in compact DIP24 and DIP14 packages, the AMLD-IZ and AMLDL-Z series meets the rigorous demands for environment friendly LED lighting solutions. 
     The new drivers offer a wide input range of 5 -36VDC and 7-30VDC. They also provide output current accuracy of up to ±2% - thus ensuring the constant color and brightness that is required by today's most demanding LED applications. The DIP24 package (31.80 × 20.30 × 10.20 mm) produces up to 22.5 watts of power. A DIP24 package (20.32 x 10.16 x 6.88 mm) or compact DIP14 is also available. Each one includes a remote ON/OFF control function, as well as PWM and analog voltage dimming control (0 - 100%). Boasting efficiencies as high as 96%, Aimtec's LED drivers are designed to be as reliable as the LEDs they drive, allowing them to be used at an operating temperature of -40oC to +85oC at full load.

mark1ULTRAVIOLET LEDS For Medical and Industrial Applications
UV OPTEK IMAGEOPTEK's OUE8A Series of Ultraviolet LEDs in the UV-A range are intended to be used in Medical and Industrial applications. The series is packaged in a hermetic metal can package and offers a uniform optical light pattern and enhanced temperature range. OPTEK's OUE8A Series has a long operating life and eliminates environmental concerns associated with the disposal issues associated with traditional mercury UV lamps. The UV-A LED allows the designer the ability to target specific applications with narrow wavelength emission while also eliminating any mercury hazard. These devices provide excellent optical intensity providing a uniform optical light pattern to the target while also minimizing stay UV-A light that could be a safety concern.

evalAVX's Discrete Wire-To-Board Insulation Displacement Connectors
Originally designed to accept 26AWG to 28AWG stranded or solid wires, the 9176 and 9177 series have been added to now include 18AWG to 24AWG and 14AWG to 20AWG respectively. This expansion opens up the market now across a broader range of applications.
avx-wire-connectorThe value of this connector is achieved from the total applied cost of the wire connection. This is achieved from the simplicity of the connector and wire termination process. For starters, the 2 position and 3 position connectors are tape and reel packaged for high volume SMT placement onto the PCB. The individual wires are then located over the top of the contact and are simply and reliably pressed into the slot via hand or arbor type press-in tools. This process allows the contact tines to pierce the insulation jacket which creates a gas tight connection, while using plastic insulator features to securely grab the insulation providing a strong strain relief on the final assembly. There is no wire stripping or preparation needed prior to termination. Contact material is phosphor bronze, with three re-terminations achievable for each individual contact. These connectors are unlike anything currently available on the market, as they have a smaller footprint, are end-to-end stackable and assembling the wires to the connector is very easy.Avx wire connector another series
   AVX discrete wire IDC connectors are manufactured with high temperature nylon material to withstand RoHS reflow processes and high working temperatures. The IDC connectors are based on automotive level temperature and vibration specifications, resulting in products that are robust and suitable for a wide variety of harsh operating conditions.
    With such a broad wire range accommodated within the product series, a wide variety of applications within the Industrial, Medical, Automotive and Transportation markets. The LED lighting market is a perfect fit for this type of connector, for use in LED lighting strips for sports arena signs, display cases, lighted cabinets, advertising signs, and architectural lights used for building feature enhancement or internal feature lighting.

tdkcapTDK's Double-Layer "Supercapacitor" Offers Lowest ESR In The Industry
(February 2009): TDK's new electric double-layer "Supercapacitor" offers the lowest ESR in the industry for this size Mount.  The new capacitor, which will be available in a 20x20 mm size, will be featured at the TDK booth at APEC this week in Washington D.C.     The EDLC employs a double layer of charged particles formed on activated carbon coated electrodes in an electrolyte. As a result, high capacitance is achieved due to the large electrode surface area and thin charge-bearing layer.
 
    TDK's EDLC Supercapacitors leverage TDK's core technologies in high-quality film coating and process control, in combination with extensive mass production capabilities for high-density energy storage devices. By careful optimization of design, materials selection and production method, TDK is able to deliver best-in-class performance, in a high-quality monolithic Supercapacitor package.
TDK's new EDLC Supercapacitor is targeted at portable device applications such as High Power LED Flash. In this application, the characteristics of the Supercapacitor enable the use of the latest high current LEDs to produce camera flash illumination of similar performance to existing Xenon flash solutions, but without the need for high voltage components and complex charging circuits. Other
applications include Pulsed Energy Storage, Power Loss Assist and Battery Assist.

TDK Super CapMain Characteristics of the EDLC272020-501-2F-50
