New Components Introduced Last Week – September 20
The second week of September brings a lot of exciting components being launched for various automotive electronics, industrial, and consumer applications.
P55NF06 N-Channel Power MOSFET
The P55NF06 is an N-channel MOSFET with a high drain current of 50A and a low Rds value of 18 mΩ. It also has a VGS of 20V at which the MOSFET will start conducting. Hence it is commonly used to drive applications.
LM338 vs LM317 Linear Regulator ICs
The LM317 and LM338 are popular adjustable linear regulator ICs that are easy to use – the output is adjustable using a potentiometer decoupling and other external components a
TPA3116D2 15-W, 30-W, 50-W Filter-Free Class-D Stereo Amplifier with AM Avoidance
The TPA3116D2 is a Class-D audio amplifier IC from Texas Instruments, designed for multi-function, high power, high fidelity, and compact audio systems.
BC488 General Purpose PNP Transistor
The BC488 is a PNP Transistor in a TO-92 package, that has a VCE of -60V and a collector current of -1000mA or -1A. It can be used as a small signal switching transistor.
LM393 Dual Comparator vs LM358 Dual Op-Amp
The LM358 Op-Amp and the LM393 Comparator are two common jellybean components that are characterized by their ease of use and availability.
MB10F Surface Mount Glass Passivated Bridge Rectifier
The MB10F is a surface mount glass passivated bridge rectifier from diodes incorporated with a low voltage drop of 1.1V and a forward continuous current of 800mA.
