Interactive content series scrutinises future of e-Mobility

Electrifying the Future of eMobility features articles and infographics exploring the challenges of creating different charging solutions for a wide range of use cases. Electrification of small passenger vehicles, scooters, and commercial EVs can vary greatly. Off-road electrified vehicles used in agriculture or construction, such as tractors and bulldozers, also need more robust charging and storage capabilities than passenger vehicles. Circuit protection, battery management, and improving efficiency in electrical systems are discussed, as are the rising expectations for the occupant experience, such as advanced infotainment systems, driver assist, and vehicle autonomy.

The content series also showcases many key products from Littelfuse that play important roles in addressing the design challenges of vehicle electrification.

Littelfuse's SiC-MOSFETs are key in managing power more efficiently within the vehicle's electrical system, offering various advantages over traditional silicon-based components. The higher efficiency of SiC-MOSFETs results in less power lost through heat. This reduces the need for extensive cooling systems, making them more suitable for the demanding environments of commercial EVs.

The Littelfuse 437A surface mount fuses are AEC-Q200 qualified, ensuring that they are rugged and reliable enough to operate in the automotive environment.

These devices help protect the power distribution unit, battery management system, and onboard charger.

The 881 SMD fuses offer overcurrent protection for high-current circuits, such as routers, high-power battery systems and power distribution.

ESD protection devices like the AXGD Xtreme-Guard automotive suppressors provide ultra-low capacitance for the protection of high-speed lines like automotive Ethernet.
