Bourns at electronica

14 March 2001 News

Bourns featured the following new product solutions/technologies during electronica in November:

MULTIFUSE resettable fuses

Bourns continues to enhance its Multifuse product line with several new additions. For the telecom market, Bourns introduces the MF-SM013/250 and R families, designed to withstand voltage spikes of up to 250 V and may be used in conjunction with an overcurrent protector to shield against power cross and lightning strikes. In response to the recent growth in the automotive PTC industry, the RG family product line offers high hold currents and tight trip to hold ratios. In overcurrent or fault conditions, the Multifuse device's unique conductive polymer increases in resistance, protecting circuit components from dangerous high current.

Automotive sensors

The ability to provide custom and off-the-shelf solutions has made Bourns a major supplier of automotive sensors. Throttle position, EGR position, pedal position, suspension position, gear position, memory seat position, electronic transmission position, fuel card, brake wear and steering position are just a select few of the many applications utilising its contacting and noncontacting sensor technologies.

Inductive components

Eight new models of chip inductors showing different types of technologies have been recently introduced. Ideal for filtering and signal conditioning in high frequency applications, they are suited for high density mounting applications where PCB real estate is at a premium, the CS Series is recommended, as with its inherent magnetic shield will eliminate any possible crosstalk. With package sizes ranging from 1,0 x 0,5 mm to 4,5 x 3,2 mm, the components are ideal for applications where minimal PC board area is available. In cases where a greater range of capabilities for space-sensitive applications is needed, Bourns has added two shielded and four nonshielded SMD power chokes to its extensive inductor family. Available with values ranging from 1,0 mH through 15 mH, these inductors combine low-profile packaging with a wide range of inductance values. These products, along with line matching, LAN and radio frequency transformers, give a strong line of inductive components for the communication and industrial markets.
