Circuit Protection Components
(20 Products, 322 Companies)
Circuit protection includes components, devices, and modules, such as fuses, circuit breakers, isolators, and suppressors that passively or actively protect components, circuits, or systems from voltage/current overloads.
The cooling products & thermal management section includes mechanical blowers, fans and related accessories in addition to thermal control devices and related solid state components.
Fundamental to electromechanical components are motors and drives. Included are AC, DC, brush, brushless, and application specific motors along with related gear mechanisms, actuators, slides and synchros/resolvers.
Relays & Solenoids
(29 Products, 263 Companies)
Relays are electromechanical devices where contacts are opened and/or closed by energy in an isolated control circuit. Solenoids contain an electromagnet with a movable plunger and used to translate electrical energy into linear mechanical motion.
Sensors convert a physical parameter to an electrical signal. Transducers convert energy from one form into another; audio components are special transducers converting acoustical energy into electrical outputs.

eeTechBriefs –
15-Minute on-demand multimedia web casts covering the latest product developments.
Pluggable I/O interface technology gives designers flexibility and significant advantages for use in high-speed networking, storage and telecom applications. Standard I/O equipment supports fiber and copper links, and provides more data throughput in smaller packaging.
Tyco Electronics continues to be engaged in new pluggable interface standards to support the rapidly changing market needs for higher bandwidth, and remains and industry leader with the technical expertise required to deliver superior designs for signal integrity and EMI at higher data rates. Tyco Electronics offers a full line of pluggable I/O interfaces and continues to be a leader in new product development. The TE Product portfolio includes: SFP, SFP , XFP, X2 and QSFP connectors, cages, heatsinks, light pipes and cable products.
Please join Tyco Electronics’ global product manager, Mike Walmsley, for an eight minute on-demand eeTechbrief webinar covering the application of pluggable I/O products, the interfaces and their features, and the roadmap and challenges for next generation solutions.
3M™ Ultra Hard Metric (UHM) Fully Shielded 2 mm Hard Metric Socket Connectors are engineered to deliver more than 7 Gbps backplane performance for systems based on 2 mm hard-metric connectors. System design engineers working with 2 mm hard-metric-based designs, such as VME or CompactPCI®, can now dramatically increase overall system performance while preserving their existing investment.
3M and Avnet Electronics Marketing are hosting a brief Webcast that will explore the following topics:
