WELCOME Welcome
Welcome to the latest edition of focus. This issue has two central articles. The first discusses how component diversity, particularly in relation to ESR has made selecting the most appropriate capacitors for power-related applications more complex than ever, and why taking independent advice makes sense.
The second article ‘New components for the Human Machine Interface’ examines new developments in touch panel control, pushbuttons and power rocker switches suited for medical applications.
Your feedback is always welcome. Should you have questions regarding any of the features, please email;
