The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) has voted to institute an investigation of certain light emitting diodes and products containing the same. The products at issue in this investigation are light-emitting diodes and products which incorporate them such as liquid crystal displays.

Bosch recently started production of a new, enhanced-efficiency generator series. An improved electrical configuration and optimized materials have enabled the manufacturer’s engineers to increase the efficiency of all variants to over 70 percent (according to VDA). The Efficiency Line (EL) generators consequently need less mechanical power to generate the energy for the vehicle’s electrical consumers. This reduces fuel requirements – and t...

Littelfuse Inc today introduced its new MLA Automotive Series varistors for transient voltage protection of integrated circuits and other board-level components in automotive applications. The new varistors have a wide operation voltage compared to Littelfuse existing AUML Series, making them suitable for numerous applications on power supply, control and signal lines. In addition, the series includes low capacitance models not available from som...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today introduced nine new series of low-profile, surface-mount standard, fast, and ultrafast avalanche rectifiers with 20 mJ EAS avalanche capability and industry-high forward currents up to 4 A in compact, space-saving SMP and SMPC packages.

Displays play an ever increasing part in the instrumentation of vehicle cockpits. The international automotive supplier Continental has developed a new display and control concept that has already found its way into the first pre-development projects with vehicle manufacturers.
