Future Electronics to Distribute EPCOS Passives

Global electronic components distributor Future Electronics has begun shipping EPCOS passive components from TDK Corporation for lighting systems.

LED lighting systems require high performance ESD and over-temperature protection if they are to live up to their potential in terms of lifetime, low maintenance costs and overall reliability. Protection components provide effective and cost-efficient protection for the LED arrays, their power supplies and control circuits. These parts, offered by TDK, effectively handle ESD events (including lightning), transient overcurrent events and surges, current and voltage spikes, reverse voltage effects, and over-temperature.
