Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors
The Bourns® IGBT discrete BID series combines technology from a MOS gate and a bipolar transistor, creating the right component for high voltage and high current applications. This device uses advanced Trench-Gate Field-Stop technology providing greater control of the dynamic characteristics while resulting in a lower Collector-Emitter Saturation Voltage (VCE(sat)) and fewer switching losses. In addition, this structure increases the robustness of the device and gives a lower RTH. The Bourns® IGBT solution is suitable for SMPS, UPS and PFC applications.

Non-Contacting Multiturn
A rotary position sensor translates angular mechanical position to an electrical signal. Rotary position sensors are designed for applications that typically require frequent adjustment. Shaftless designs allow for different engagement mechanisms, such as a customized shaft, a motor control, a human interface adjustment or a mechanical arm position locator. Rotary position sensors can be used in applications where a user needs to control a variable output such as a frequency, speed or volume control. Typical applications include test and measurement equipment, consumer electronics, small engines, robotics, and medical equipment.
