Farnell has announced a partnership with Würth Elektronik (WE) to promote the numerous advantages of high-quality RF components, essential for ensuring dependable wireless connectivity in a wide array of consumer and industrial applications.
Josh Ahern, Farnell Product Segment Leader for Würth Elektronik said: “This ‘WE connect dots!’ campaign is designed to inspire design engineers to fully appreciate that high quality RF components are ultimately what will enable them to deliver devices that can be counted on to perform at the highest level. It is in their interest to fully explore what WE can contribute to their success.”
The WE product range includes all necessary components for IoT devices, such as RF inductors and capacitors, chip and rod antennas, chip filters and baluns, and coaxial connectors and radio modules required for assembling any wireless interface.
Chip antennas provide excellent performance in a compact design with minimal design modifications. Rod antennas offer value and performance for those not constrained by space limitations. For the experienced design engineer, PCB antennas are also available for highly miniaturised applications.
Customers can also purchase an antenna matching design kit to meet their antenna selection and matching needs.
For baluns and filters, WE offers the WE-LPF and WE-BPF multilayer chip low-pass and band-pass filters, featuring low insertion loss and high attenuation in the stop-band with guaranteed performance characteristics. The WE-BAL multilayer chip balun is a 2W, low-loss SMT balun with balanced impedance of 50 to 200 Ω, capable of operating over a wide temperature range.
Capacitors from the WE range include the low-capacitance, high-tolerance WCAP-CSRF high-frequency MLCC, hermetically sealed WE-XTAL crystals (both SMT and THT models), and a wide collection of configurable coax connectors.
RF inductors include compact and small size RF inductors, WE-MK multilayer ceramic chip inductors, and WE-TCI thin film chip inductors, along with the high-performance WE-CAIR air core inductors and cost-effective WE-KI wire wound ceramic inductors.
“The success of IoT is largely down to robust and reliable RF connectivity, and Würth Elektronik has a depth of expertise that we are proud to make available to our customers,” Josh Ahern concluded.
