    circuit breakers ! where can i find!

    Try ETA, www.etacbe.com, they do make custom made part if your requirements are not standard.

    Spark Gaps Manufacturer

    Thanks to both of you, I'll try to ask our design engineer if he could use TVS. I'll look for EPCOS and Littlefuse too.

    Spark Gaps Manufacturer

    Thanks Sreid! Keremsencan, yes I did search in google and sorry I didn't specify my question. I need a surface mount (if possible) or the smaller the better, low voltage. I found Sankosha and Bourns too. Are there any manufacturers?

    Lead Free Components

    Hi Mike Thanks for the info. Do lead free components have identification when they are already in the power supply? Like if lead free resistors have a different color body part same as with the capacitors. And how about ICs do they have different logo on the package itself to identify lead free?

    Lead Free Components

    Thanks Melone and Keremsencan for the tips. Looks like I have to create new part numbers (for our internal use). By the way Keremsencan,we manufacture power supplies and therefore all the components in our power supplies (resistors, caps, ICs, FETs, connectors, etc) should be changed to lead...

    Lead Free Components

    We're in the process of converting our components to lead free. Does anybody know the best site regarding lead free components that can help me to start working with our part numbering system? Do I really have to create new parts numbers for all lead free components? I'll appreciate any help. thanks
