Littelfuse’s extensive product portfolio supports several sectors such as automotive, consumer, industrial, building solutions, medical devices, aerospace, and data centre & cloud. Some of the best-selling products available at element14 include:

•  High side/ low side gate driver LF2181N: The LF2181N is a high voltage, high speed gate driver capable of driving N-channel MOSFETs and IGBTs in a half bridge configuration. The process technology enables the LF2181N’s high side to switch to 600V in a bootstrap operation. The LF2181N logic inputs are compatible with standard TTL and CMOS levels (down to 3.3V) to interface easily with controlling devices. The driver outputs feature high pulse current buffers designed for minimum driver cross conduction. The LF2181N is offered in SOIC(N)-8 package and operate over the extended temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C.
• USP10973 Thermistor Assembly: This copper probe assembly is suitable for a wide range of temperature sensing applications. It has a tight tolerance, is moisture resistant, and has PVC insulated lead wires. The maximum operating temperature is 105°C.
• DST Series: DST series Ultra Low VF Schottky Barrier Rectifier is designed to meet the general requirements of commercial and industry applications by providing high temperature, low leakage and lower VF products. It is suitable for high frequency switching mode power supply, free-wheeling diodes and polarity protection diodes.
