Copal CAS Series

February 2008. The CAS series slide switches from Copal Electronics simplify PCB layout and manufacture by allowing designers to replace conventional jumper pin and wire arrangements or larger thru-hole switches with a compact surface mount switch. The CAS switch measures just 5.4mm in length, 2.5mm in width, and 2.5mm in height for the SPDT configuration. The switch is also available in DPDT and dual SPDT configurations. CAS switches are compatible with most automatic pick-and-place machinery and are supplied in 1,000 piece tape-and-reel packaging. The switch is available in a washable format with a tape seal or in a non-washable format without a tape seal and can withstand a maximum reflow temperature of 250 degrees C.

All parts in this slide switch series are RoHS compliant.

The single pole double throw CAS switch is priced from $.59 each for tape sealed versions in quantities of 1,000 pieces with delivery from stock to 6 weeks.

January 2008. Fujitsu's 4th generation FTR-B3 and FTR-B4 series relays were originally developed for telecommunication applications. However, customers in the medical, test equipment, measurement, and security alarm industries have been using these small, space-saving signal relays to meet their switching signal requirements.

Fujitsu offers DPDT, 2A and latching version for both the FTR-B3 and B4 series at very competitive prices. The footprints of the relays is the same as those of our competitors and we can easily provide you with a cross refernce. Please contact us at components@us.fujitsu.com with Relay cross reference in the subject bar.

January 2006. Fujitsu Components America, Inc. today announced the release of a fourth-generation, ultra-miniature automotive relay for motor applications. The new relay is a slim device that is 28% smaller than its third-generation predecessor, the FTR-P3.

The FTR-G1 is a PCB-mount, 1 form C, single relay that can handle 25A loads at 14VDC for high in-rush applications such as power window and gate lifts, automatic sliding doors, door locks, adjustable seats, and intermittent wipers. Because the FTR-G1 is used in modules typically mounted within the passenger compartment, its acoustic noise level is a low, 60dB (max.).

The relay measures a compact 13.7(L) x 6.6 (W) x 13.5 (H) mm. It features a unique pin layout that contributes to the relay’s reduced size while also retaining sufficient isolation distance for simplified PCB layout. Coil power is 640mW.

Fujitsu developed an efficient, magnetic circuit to minimize the relay’s size, weight, and power consumption. A highly conductive spring, along with high-temperature molds and coil wire, increases heat resistance. A simple, two-piece assembly process requires no insertion molding to reduce assembly costs and the introduction of contaminants.

The FTR-G1 is RoHS-compliant and available immediately from stock. It is priced at $1.80 per device in 10K-piece quantities. Delivery is 12 weeks ARO.

June 2005. Fujitsu Components America has announced the new
FTP-648MCL103/104 4" high-speed battery operated thermal printer. The series is easy loading and ultra compact, printing 4-inch (114mm) wide paper. The unique platen removal mechanism greatly improves paper loading and maintainance.

The FTP-608MCL Series can be used for a variety of applications, such as portable terminals, POS, ticket issuing terminals, label printers, banking terminals, test/measurement, and medical equipment.

Engineering samples will be available in July 2005 and mass production will begin in October 2005.
