Discretes from global suppliers available for CEM and OEM   

Singapore, 20 January 2015 -- element14has expanded its portfolio of over  26,000 discretesfor electronics design and production from 60 industry-leading suppliers including Diodes Inc, Fairchild, Infineon, International Rectifier, Littelfuse, NXP, Vishayand more.

Over 1,000 of the most essential high-performance discretes have been added such as FETs, IGBTs and JFETs, through-hole bipolar transistors, bridge rectifiers and zener diodes, which are suited for CEM and OEM use for power supply, industrial automation, wireless communications, transportation, medical, lighting, consumer electronics and robotics.

Marc Grange, Head of Product and Asset Management, element14 Asia-Pacific said, "We are delighted to add these products from our world-leading suppliers and make it available for easy review and order. Customers who require more options now have access to one of the most comprehensive portfolios."

The Infineon OptiMOS™ range of power mosfetsare optimized for DC/DC converters, and feature high frequency switching, superior thermal resistance, Pb-free plating and N-channel, logic level. 

600V insulated-gate bipolar transistors(IGBTs) from International Rectifier, optimized for a complete power range spectrum, are suitable for a wide range of switching frequencies and deliver higher system efficiency and rugged transient performance. It is suited for use in small motors, loads to industrial applications, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), solar, induction heating, industrial motor and welding applications.

Vishay dual-low voltage TMBS® rectifierin SMPD feature very low profile, and is ideal for automated placement; good for use in high frequency DC/DC converters, switching power supplies, freewheeling diodes, OR-ing diode, and reverse battery protection.

The industry's first bipolar transistorsin low-profile LFPAK56(Power SO-8) SMD power plastic package from NXP Semiconductorsdeliver thermal and electrical performance comparable to larger bipolar transistors, and is suited for applications in power management, load switch, linear mode voltage regulator, backlighting and automotive.

These new ranges for use in electronics manufacturing and design are compatible for use with modern tape-fed placement units ensuring efficient production runs. Customers can review, compare and purchase from one convenient site at element14 and enjoy greater value especially with the new pricing for production quantities.
