TT Electronics introduces new environmentally friendly thick diaphragm products that are completely lead-free

     TT Electronics, a global supplier of engineered electronics for critical performance applications, announced the launch of its new environmentally friendly thick diaphragm array GBCN - a thick diaphragm array completely free of Pb (lead) and its compounds. In light of increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the new GBCN family of products allows manufacturers to design products with confidence and bolder without relying on RoHS compliance exemptions.

     The range of resistors meets the growing needs of the industry, including pull-up, pull-down, level shift and termination functions in digital circuits and compact analog circuits for applications in demanding devices such as process controllers, body control modules and medical devices.

     "TT Electronics is committed to providing customers with future-proof designs that no longer rely on RoHS exemptions," Barry Peters, vice president of product management and engineering at TT Electronics, said, "GBCN and other eco-friendly product portfolios enable equipment manufacturers to secure system design investments and avoid extremely time-consuming redesigns and, worse, numerous design changes."

      The GBCN series is a single-piece AEC-Q200 certified solution that integrates an array of four isolation resistors in a compact 1206 package for quick assembly. GBCN is preceded by two other environmentally friendly thick film product lines: GHVC (Environmentally friendly thick film high voltage resistor) and GWCR (environmentally friendly thick film type resistor).
