Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today announced that the company’s IWAS-3827EC-50 wireless charging receiving coil, VCNL3020 proximity sensor, SMA6F transient voltage suppressors (TVS), P16S panel potentiometer,193 PUR-SI Solar power aluminum capacitors, and VLMU3100 ultraviolet (UV) LED have been selected for Electronic Design’s “Top 101 Components.”
The annual list compiles the 101 most popular components from the previous year among readers of the magazine’s Products of the Week newsletter. The complete list is available on the magazine’s website here: http://electronicdesign.com/components/top-101-components-2013
#8 − IWAS-3827EC-50 Wireless Charging Receiving Coil
For the wireless charging of 5 V portable electronics, the powdered-iron-based, WPC-compliant (Wireless Power Consortium) IWAS-3827EC-50 offers a durable construction, high permeability shielding, and high efficiency greater than 70 %. With dimensions of 38 mm by 27 mm, the device is 33 % smaller than the standard 48 mm by 32 mm IWAS-4832FF-50 Rx coil.
