PPS film capacitors from NIC provide stability over a wide operating
temperature range
NIC Components has introduced a family of film chip capacitors that
offer extremely stable characteristics over a wide operating temperature
range. The NSMX series of wound, metalized Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS)
film capacitors is ideal for use in applications that require low
absorption characteristics such as voice or datacom circuitry. They are
also suited to use in power supplies requiring low loss parameters or
where piezoelectric problems may be experienced such as in telecom
supplies or LCD backlighting inverters.

NIC expands Quick Kit service to include capacitors, resistors,
magnetic parts and circuit protection devices
NIC Components has significantly broadened the types and range of
devices available via its popular Quick Kit service. Accessed via NIC's
website homepage, it is now possible for design engineers to specify and
order kits containing current sensing resistors, thermistors, MLCCs,
hybrid and solid chip electrolytic capacitors and thin-film chip
inductors. Kits targeted at specific applications - for example LED
driver circuits - can also be requested.

Stacked film chip capacitors deliver stable performance
NIC Components has introduced two new ranges of stacked film chip
capacitors. The NSHC and NSPU series combine small size with stability
under voltage, stability over time, immunity from cracking and low
dielectric loss making them ideal alternative to higher loss and less
stable MLCC capacitors. Both ranges are fully RoHS compliant.

SMT Capacitors provide memory back-up for a wide range of
applications
NIC Components has introduced a new range of SMT Capacitors designed
to provide memory back-up under power failure conditions. The NEXC
series offers the unique ability to conventionally mount this V-chip
style device. NIC also offers five series of leaded parts for
through-hole applications providing a breadth of range to address most
applications.

The
NEXC series offers the first surface mount memory back up capacitor in a
V-chip style package equivalent to those packages used for lower
capacitance/value combinations. This advancement significantly increases
the possible applications for memory back up devices as current SMT
packages that are available offer only pseudo SMT packages with
unconventional PCB layouts and additional handling issues during
production.
