The UK-based low carbon engine technology specialist, Controlled Power Technologies (CPT), says that the new 48 volt standard proposed by leading automakers provides an ideal compromise for performance and cost in the development of a new generation of affordable super fuel efficient cars. With global CO2 emission targets rapidly converging, the auto industry has only a decade to achieve almost another 30 per cent reduction by 2022 putting pres...

Most green technologies are not so green on closer examination but at least the situation can be improved. Electric vehicles are no exception.

International distributor ECOMAL based in Berkshire, UK announced the new full (2,54 mm) and half pitch (1,27 mm) Piano switches series of Nidec Copal Electronics. The new switches are compatible with lead-free soldering and the gold-plated contacts guarantee excellent contact stability.

International distributor ECOMAL based in Berkshire, UK announced a further variation of a smallest SMD multi-turns trimmer to its program of Nidec Copal Electronics. The latest model SM-31, is 5 turns smallest SMD trimmer in addition to the existing SM-3, 11 turns and is RoHS compliant and lead-free soldering compatible. Measuring only at 3.9 x 3.9 x 3.2 mm, SM-31 is ideal for applications that have space constraint but requires precise adjustme...

Copal Electronics has added the CL-DA series (detect switches) to its portfolio. The side-activated switches have a very low profile (only 2 mm high) and are fully RoHS/WEEE compliant (lead-free soldering). The gold contacts guarantee maximum reliability at a maximum contact resistance of 100 mOhm and a minimum damping/insulation resistance of 100 mOhm at 100 VDC. The switches are rated at 12 VDC (100 mA) max. and 20 mVDC (1 µA) min. Switch trav...

In 2022, over 128 million electric vehicles will be made, mainly two wheelers, according to the IDTechEx report, Electric Vehicles 2012-2022. That means over $260 billion dollars of business in our estimations, even at ex-factory prices, with cars being under 50% of that figure.
