ECM announced a new authorized distribution agreement with MECA Electronics Inc. to supply the manufacturer’s line of USA made Rugged & Reliable RF/Microwave passive DC – 20 GHz microwave components and solutions globally.

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. introduced a new environmentally friendly metallized polypropylene film capacitor for DC-link applications that offers a broad capacitance range of 1 µF to 500 µF, compact footprints, and voltage ratings from 500 V to 1200 V.

Vishay Precision Group Inc. announced that its Vishay Foil Resistors brand (VFR) has introduced a new series of military-qualified, ultra-high-precision Z1-Foil wrap-around chip resistors. Tested per EEE-INST-002 (Tables 2A and 3A, Film/Foil, Level 1) and MIL-PRF-55342, devices in the 303261 - 303266 seriesprovide exceptional load-life stability of ±0.0025% typical after rated power at 70°C for 2,000 hours, low nominal TCR of ±0.2 ppm/°C from -55°C to +125°C, +25°C ref., PCR (ΔR due to self heating) of 5 ppm at rated power, and tight tolerances to ±0.02%.

API Technologies Corp., a leading provider of high performance RF/microwave, power and security solutions for critical and high-reliability applications, introduces a new line of standard switched filter bankswith customer-specified frequency bands from 2 to 7 channels. With lead times as fast as four weeks, the configurable solution significantly reduces development cycle time, resulting in cost savings and faster time to market.

The SMA-connectorized, zero-degree WPD1040A is a Wilkinson-type power divider/combiner and features a low insertion loss of 0.50 dB (typical), high isolation of 18 dB (minimum) and excellent VSWR. It is suitable for LTE and land mobile radio (LMR), as well as RF bench test and mobile base station applications.

VidaRF offers low cost Drop-In, 1”x1” Circulators & Isolators designed for various wireless and power amplifier applications. The robust design provides high performance and reliability, typ specs: VSWR 1.13/Loss 0.25dB/ISOL 23dB, great IMD, and is magnetically shielded. Circuit tab can be straight or bent flush with base for surface mounting.

Lark offers a full line of ultra-thin filters for commercial and military markets. Lark’s new ultra-thin package offers superior performance in less than 0.09” high package with low insertion loss and ultimate rejection levels of 60 dB while maintaining better than 1.5:1 VSWR. Units are lightweight and ruggedized for today’s AIR, SEA & LAND applications.

DiTom Microwave has released a new Ka-Band Isolator 27 to 31 GHz. This Isolator covers both the military and commercial Ka-Band applications and is available with 2.92mm female or male connector configurations. DiTom Microwave can improve these electrical specs for high reliability use and narrow the band if necessary.

S2D Microwave Inc. offers broad band 0.5 to 20 GHz, high performance 3 Bit, 60 dB switched bit attenuator. S3-AS6055R520 is a high performance compact unit with low insertion loss, fast switching speed, low harmonic distortion, Three-bit attenuation control has TTL driver.
