A strong partnership

Since January 2013, Lextar and BECK have enjoyed an 8-year business relationship, with the aim of working together to secure a competitive advantage for our customers in the rapidly growing LED market in Central Europe through the latest technologies and best products. While Lextar provides product support and technical know-how, BECK contributes as a local contact through…

Flat Chip Size vs. Power Rating

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.
TLR Series KOA Current Sensing Resistors

TLR Series – Current Sensing Resistors / Metal Plate Technology / Low Resistance and High Power

Features:
  • Ultra low resistance: 0.5 mΩ to 20 mΩ (suitable for large current sensing)
  • Current ratings up to 100 A
  • T.C.R.: ±50 / ±75 ppm/K
  • Ultra low profile height: 0.6 … 0.7 mm (suitable for use of small equipment)

RS73 Series High Precision Resistors ESD Tolerant

KOA’s new RS73-series are ESD transient tolerant high precision and high reliability resistors using thick film technology.

With a T.C.R. down to ±25ppm and a tolerance as low as ±0.1%, the new RS73-series from KOA is ideal for precision designs such as high-accuracy sensing or voltage detection circuits in automotive, industrial and measuring applications, where ESD sensitivity is an issue.

EJ8951EL-1W EPD Controller

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…

Large-sized ePaper displays in full color and gray scales: 25,3" and 26,6"

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…

UR73V Series Thick Film Current Sensing Resistor

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…

28" ACeP display

In May 2020, it was announced that the two large companies E Ink Holdings (E Ink) and Innolux (a subsidiary of Foxconn) had started cooperation in the ACeP area (Advanced Color ePaper) for E Ink Gallery™ panels. E Ink is the leading innovator of E Ink technology, while Innolux is one of the largest manufacturers of TFT-LCD panels.
