KYOCERA AVX Components Corporation is showcasing its high-reliability passive component technologies at CMSE 2026—featuring advanced capacitors, inductors, filters, and resistors designed to optimize size, weight, and power for demanding aerospace and defense applications, backed by decades of R&D and proven performance.

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has launched a surface-mount Power Metal Strip current sense resistor in the compact 1206 package that delivers up to 5 W of power. According to the product announcement, it “combines a high power rating of up to 5 W, a temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) as low as ±75 ppm/°C, and extremely low resistance values ​​down to 0.3 mΩ, all in the compact 1206 package.nagement

PLC Splitters by FiberLife are compact, low-loss components that distribute optical signals evenly across multiple outputs. Designed for EPON/GPON networks, they come in multiple packaging types (bare fiber, ABS box, rack mount, etc.) and are ideal for FTTH rollouts, CATV networks, and centralized telecom architectures.

A passive component is a component which does not require an external source of energy to perform its function. The component on its own is required to perform functions based on the energy supply that is already there within the system.  For example, a capacitor does not require any external energy source to perform its function and will come into play in to ensure that there is proper power distribution in the system. Passive components ca be either high, medium or low in nature of how much power the passive component is used to manage or control. In view of its features, passive components can be used across a wide range of applications ranging from healthcare to even industrial applications.
