This Is CatOlog our February K2 Template - Exclusive to K2 Template Members

CatOlog is a Category and Category view template designed for full width views to allow maximum content area to showcase products or services.
All contents extras are held within the left column which is set to display a maximum of 25% of the display to keep the main content area clear for data.
Demo can be seen here. 

Demo Setup

To produce this demonstration, we started by creating a parent category with 4 sub categories.  3 of the sub categories inherit parameters from the first sub category.
The parent category is set to Catalog mode Yes so that only content in the parent category is displayed and will not display content from the sub categories.
All category and sub category images are set to display at 200px to make use of the possible 4 column wide sub category display. The 3D images shown in this demonstration have been created by Simon Wells using Solidworks CAD software.

CatOlog can be assigned to individual categories and can also be merged with other templates and css files.
A full version will be released in due course.

The 0805 SMD resistor is the industry's first device to combine a 0.25 W rating and a resistance range of 10 Ω to 10,000 Ω in the very small 0805 package, which measures 0.080 in. by 0.050 in. [2.30 mm by 1.27 mm] with a maximum height of 0.025 in. [0.64 mm]. As a result, this surface-mount component may be used in lieu of larger components with equivalent power capability, thereby saving board space and enabling the design of smaller and lighter consumer products. With its high power rating, resistor is also suitable for replacing low-power leaded wirewound resistors.

The new resistor from Random Stuff Inc features a low TCR of 15 ppm/°C, a resistance range from 10 Ω to 10,000 Ω, and tight tolerance down to 0.1%, as well as low noise of < 40 dB, very low inductance of <0.08 h="" and="" a="" voltage="" coefficient="" of="" 0="" 00001="" v="" 1="" ppm="" it="" is="" rated="" for="" an="" operating="" temperature="" range="" -65="" c="" to="" 150="" provides="" resistance="" thermal="" shock="" moisture="" high-temperature="" bonding="" exposure="" p="">

Available in tape-and-reel packaging, samples and production quantities of the new resistor 0.025 W Power Metal Strip resistors are available now, with a lead time of six to eight weeks for larger orders.

MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA — Feb. 14, 2011 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced a new series of screw-terminal power aluminum capacitors with a long useful life of 5000 hours at +105°C and high rated ripple current to 34.8 A at +105°C in 11 case sizes ranging from 35 mm by 60 mm to 90 mm by 220 mm.

Featuring a cylindrical aluminum case insulated with a blue sleeve and pressure relief in their sealing disc, the new 104 PHL-ST capacitors feature high capacitance/voltage combinations, including 6800µF at 450 V and 33 000µF at 200V, both in the large 90 mm by 220 mm case size.

The devices are available with 8 mm M5 high-post terminals, or 13 mm M6 low-post terminals. The capacitors are compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, and are available in standard or bolt nut versions.

As polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors with a non-solid electrolyte, the104 PHL-ST devices are ideally suited for DC link capacitors in high-power switched mode converters and energy storage in pulsed power applications. End products include transport, medical, and industrial equipment, UPS devices, welding devices, single- and three-phase motor controls, and solar and wind inverters.

Device Specification Table:

Samples and production quantities of the 104 PHL-ST capacitors are available now, with lead times of 12 weeks.
