Energy Efficiency

As more states in the U.S. push for increased reliance on variable renewable energy in the form of wind or solar power, long-term energy storage may play an important role in assuring reliability and reducing electricity costs, according to a new paper published by Caltech researchers. Graduate student Jackie Do

In the fight against climate change, scientists have searched for ways to replace fossil fuels with carbon-free alternatives such as hydrogen fuel. A device known as a photoelectrical chemical cell (PEC) has the potential to produce hydrogen fuel through artificial photosynthesis, an emerging renewable energy te

KEMET, a subsidiary of Yageo Corporation, continues to develop and design solutions for alternative energy, industrial/lighting, medical, defense and aerospace, and telecommunications applications with the new Tantalum Stack Polymer (TSP) O 7360-43 and the 82uF/75V rated voltage extension in Polymer Hermetically Seal

It’s no exaggeration to say that more robust batteries will power the future. But how do we reach that new electronic renaissance? Will lithium ion fit the bill or should we consider alternatives? Zinc8 Energy Solutions  Be sure to catch us on iTunes  Be sure to catch us on Spotify

The DTMOSVI series has already gained a lot of market traction thanks to an excellent ratio of on-resistance and support for elevated switching speeds. The 650V-rated TK110N65Z, TK110Z65Z, TK110A65Z, TK125V65Z, TK155A65Z, TK170V65Z, TK190A65Z and TK210V65Z devices all possess highly appealing performance parameters. These MOSFETs present en

The PRQ3W-S, PQD10W-D, PQF20W-D, and PRF30W-D are 3 to 30 W, dual regulated, dc-dc converters in SIP & DIP packages. These converters additionally offer wide input ranges, robust operating temperatures, and EN 62368-1 certification. The PRQ3W-S series offers up to 3 W of continuous power, an ultra-wide 4:1 i

Thanks to their narrow frequency range, these audio indicators offer added frequency stability that is not affected by temperature or voltage, while providing more consistent tones and sounds in an end application. This makes them a highly reliable solution for medical, smart home, and security applications that req

This product lineup is compatible with AEC-Q200, a reliability test qualification standard for automotive passive components. We have sophisticated various types of elemental technologies nurtured by us to improve the temperature characteristics of X7R (operating temperature range: -55 to 125°C) in our  onv

Small and flexible flat-ribbon cables are widely used in LCD screens, board-to-board connections for medical equipment, test and measurement devices, industrial applications, entertainment electronics, and the broadest conceivable range of other types of devices. In many of these applications, it’s not important

The AEC-Q101 range of devices available cuts across all Nexperia’s product groups and includes switching, Schottky, Zener and protection diodes, bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), N- and P-channel MOSFETs, resistor-equipped transistors and LED drivers. Automotive qualified discrete leadless packages offer

NAWA Technologies’ NAWACap ultracapacitors are based on carbon and use a material that is abundant, recyclable and environmentally friendly. The NAWACaps can be packaged into small, flat cells and withstand extremes of temperature and the harshest environments, through deep sea to deep space. They also match i

For safe use in industrial applications, Würth Elektronik has now published a circuit layout with transformers as galvanic isolation. The solution has an isolation of 1.5 kV/60 s and is therefore fully suitable for industrial applications, unlike previous circuits that use two 50 V capacitors as galvanic isolation. Wü

The MDA3KP is a 3kW diode family of more than 25 products with different screening levels, polarities and qualification standards. Microchip’s MDA3KP TVS diode array family – the only available technology offering a comprehensive voltage range tested to a high reliability standard and qualified based on the MIL-PRF-1

These new parts provide low radiated emissions and enable solutions that meet EMC compliance with fewer board spins and budget overruns. The transceivers’ simplified PCB layout and small SOIC form factor pack more functionality into space constrained applications than the previous generation as well as current

The transducers can be used for applications such as power analysers in EV production, medical equipment such as MRI scanners and power supplies for particle accelerators. The video explains zero flux technology, also called ‘fluxgate’ and how it works, including the use of a closed loop which balances opposi

The new connectors are available in various blade designs, orientations and dimensions and are intended for current flows up to 16 A and working voltages up to 300 V. Straight or angled contacts in various numbers are available — for the common 6.3 mm blade receptacles but also for the 2.8 mm version. Fo

As robotic fleets reshape logistic, delivery and inspection industries, the demand for more efficient and flexible charging solutions is increasing while the feasibility for these fleets to be managed manually and recharged ad hoc by a 24/7 rotation of personnel is decreasing. The next step is toward enhanced a

Just in time for the World Environment Day, an electric truck was commissioned at the Regensburg site after two weeks of testing. The vehicle of the logistics partner Kühne+Nagel will drive the distance between the factory premises and an external warehouse in the east of the city four times per working day. Thu
