OREANDA-NEWS. August 09, 2016. Global electronic components distributor Digi-Key Electronics, the industry leader in electronic component selection, availability and delivery, today announced the addition of new supplier Jinlong Machinery & Electronics Co. Ltd., one of the world’s largest manufacturers of micro vibration motors.

Haptic feedback generated by vibration motors has become an important functionality expected in personal information and touchscreen devices, such as wearables. Haptic feedback offers the user a better experience by giving them quick feedback on touchscreen selections that simulate the “tactile” feel that a switch would offer. They also offer a way to quietly notify the user in an application such as a cell phone, smart watch, etc.

“With the surging growth of wearable technology, Digi-Key is the perfect channel partner to make Jinlong's vibration motor products rapidly available to product development engineers,” said Charles Tepper, VP of Sales/Engineering at Jinlong. “Digi-Key has a long history for being the one-stop-shop for electronic components and was the logical choice to efficiently distribute our products.”

Jinlong offers what is currently the smallest coin vibration motor, C0720B001F, which is 7 x 2.1mm in size. Ideal devices for their products include cell phones, smart watches, tablets, fitness trackers, and various touchscreen applications.

“As new applications for information devices, touchscreen and wearables increase, partnering with Jinlong will allow our design customers greater access to the newest vibration motor technology,” said Tom Busher, VP, Global I P & E at Digi-Key. “Adding their products to the Digi-Key linecard further provides engineers with a well-rounded offering in the marketplace.”
