Mouser Electronics is a globally authorized distributor of semiconductors and electronic components for over 1,200 industry-leading manufacturer brands. Mouser specializes in the rapid introduction of the newest products and technologies, targeting the design engineer and buyer communities, consistently introducing new products. They spotlight more than 10,000 of those new products each quarter. Mouser.com features over 6.8 million components with 63 website domains and stocks the widest selection of components with 1,000,000 parts in inventory.

Mouser has 27 offices located around the globe and conduct business in 21 different languages and 35 currencies. Mouser has over one million sq. ft. (93.000 m²) state-of-the-art facilities at global headquarters and distribution center, with a major new expansion underway, that will total mirror the existing footprint at 93,000 m² including mezzanine space.

Mouser’s global distribution center is equipped with state-of-the-art wireless warehouse management systems that enable us to process orders 24/7, and deliver nearly perfect pick-and-ship operations. That includes 120 vertical lift modules (VLMs) installed, the largest VLM installation in the world. VLMs are essentially giant vertical filing cabinets, complete with shelves and an automated extractor that move components quickly and efficiently around the workspace.

In addition to the massive VML installation, Mouser’s distribution center features multiple Ultipack and I-Pack machines — a sophisticated automated system for sealing and labeling shipments that can process up to 14 orders per minute — as well as an OPEX Perfect Pick system for consolidation, and an AutoStore system.

Top 5 Reasons Your Next IoT Design Should Be Using 8-bit PIC®/AVR®

MEMS Microphones Get Connected

Consumers are demanding ever-increasing mobility and optimized form factors for electronics. This demand has led to advances in the integration of disparate circuit components as well as constant performance improvements of single devices that serve multiple applications. With the onset of the pandemic and the explosion of video conferencing or video/voice communication, connectivity from anywhere with multiple applications has become a necessity. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), a class of components that saw rapid growth in the 1970s and 1980s, enable smaller and more powerful mobile devices for consumers. Integrating and implementing MEMS microphones provides advanced acoustic capabilities in these devices.  LEARN MORE
