Electronics Engineering IoT Supply Chain IoT passive components passivesAVX Passive Components for the Internet of Things Design Kit (Part Number: KIT-IOT) is comprised of a broad sampling of passive components suitable for use in the three primary IoT device networks — input voltage filtering and decoupling networks, timing device networks,and output impedance RF matching networks. Kit allows engineers to quickly identify effective solutions for IoT devices with widely varying requirements for power, data-processing speed, form factor, and price, among other specifications. Kit contains RF microwave components, including: capacitors, inductors, circuit protection and SAW filters; input voltage filtering and decoupling devices, including: filter capacitors and low profile power inductors; and small, high precision crystal products, including: MHz crystal units, tuning fork crystal units, clock oscillators, temperature compensated crystal oscillators (TCXOs), and capacitors for crystal unit loading.
