NEW: Increased Power Ratings

Special Flat Chip Resistors

• Downsizing
  PCB space can be saved by using smaller parts from KOA's SG73 and WK73 series which allow the same power rating.
• Power-up
  Alternatively, current layouts can be upgraded to allow higher rated power parts on existing footprints.

New control board EJ8951EL‑1W makes it possible

The 16 gray tones can be enough to show the content at the e-Paper display, but sometimes it is important to highlight the main information with an additional color. Such three-color displays have been existing for long time already, but now there is a board to drive it.

The EJ8951EL-1W is developed to support both kinds of technologies: black and…

For the 14th time this year the readers of the trade magazine "Elektronik" were called upon to select their "Distributor of the Year" in the German-speaking countries.

The year 2020 has in many aspects confronted us with new situations and demanded adjustments. Also the election of the Distributor of the Year was packed into a new "dress" by Elektronik.

Thus, the former product areas (Active…

For many years we have been hearing from our customers that the gap between the sizes 13.3” and 31.2" in the range of ePaper displays is too big. Finally this time is over.

We are happy to present two new sizes of EPDs:  25,3"  and 26,6".
To imagine the dimensions better, let we say that the display formats are between DIN A3 and DIN A2. The further difference between the panels is the aspect…

KOA’s UR73V-series automotive approved low ohm resistors are designed for current sense applications in demanding environments. The special facedown construction of the VD-version makes lower resistance values with a low T.C.R. possible.

The facedown construction means that the total T.C.R. is minimized due to the shorter current path in the electrodes and solder fillet. The low T.C.R of new…

Gustav Beck was born on 26 July 1896 in »Toening an der Eider« (Schleswig-Holstein) as
the first of five children. He, the son of the locomotive driver of the Royal Prussian Railway
Hermann Beck and his wife Anna, was not granted an easy and carefree childhood. At the
age of 4 years he was already an orphan. He already got to know the hardships of life
as a child, and – growing up in simple…
