Despite being first invented in the 1830s, Electric Vehicles (EVs) have only become commercially viable in the last decade. Steve Hughes, Managing Director of REO UK, explains the challenges faced by automotive companies designing the next generation of EVs.

TT Electronics has announced the introduction of two additional resistor types that expand and enhance its high reliability CR and HR series. The latest versions of these thick-film chip resistors are in the smaller 0603 size and hence offer opportunities for use in compact circuits where guaranteed performance and footprint size are critical.

The case sizes of Multi-Layered Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC) available today are seemingly ever shrinking, which coupled with a long term reduction in manufacturing capacity for legacy commodity products and dramatically increasing manufacturer lead times is creating a supply headache for customers in Europe. In this update Adam Fletcher, Chairman of the Electronic Components Supply Network(ecsn)examines the current issues and suggests how they may ...

Torex Semiconductor has launched the XCL225/XCL226 series of 18V coil-integrated, step-down 'micro DC/DC' converters.The converters contribute to space-saving on the board and a shorter development time because a circuit can be configured by simply adding two external ceramic capacitors.

Anglia Components is warning customers that now is the time to ensure they have sufficient orders/inventory to cover their chip resistor needs. With global demand massively outstripping supply, shortages and price increases are already heavily impacting the supply chain.

Working closely with its supplier network and customers, Chemigraphic is trying tocombat an industry-wide delay on the manufacture and delivery of passive electronic components.Lead times for MLCC SMD Capacitors and SMD Resistors have been experiencing extended lead times or allocation times for the last few quarters, and in some cases lead times are now exceeding 50 weeks.

A four-channel CANary FD interface is being debuted by Accurate Technologies at this week’s Automotive Testing Expo Europe in Stuttgart. Visitors to ATI’s booth, number 1648, will be amongst the first to witness the compact, robust unit that will provide flexible compatibility with ATI’s VISION Calibration and Data Acquisition Software, and both non-ISO CAN controllers and ISO CAN FDs.

A5.5V step-down power module that delivers a continuous 6A output current with up to 95% efficiency has been introduced by Texas Instruments.The TPSM82480DC/DC module integrates power Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) and shielded inductors into a tiny, low profile footprint for space- and height-constrained applications such as point-of-load telecommunications, networking, and test and measurement power supplies.

AVX has released the new UBR Series ultra-broadband resistors. The ruggedly constructed, ultraminiature (EIA 0402, 1005 metric) ultra-broadband resistors are made with high-performance tantalum nitride (TaN) materials and utilise the company’s proprietary, automotive-qualified, glass-sandwich FLEXITERM surface-mount technology, which provides an extra measure of protection against flexure damage during installation, as well as 100% laser tr...

Manufacturing flexibility has never been as important for industry as it is today. In a world of interconnected devices and smart factories, the ability of a manufacturer to innovate and adapt to its customers’ requirements is vital. For many manufacturers, the road to innovation starts with research and development (R&D).Here Andrew Keith, engineering director of power resistor manufacturer Cressall Resistors, discusses the role of res...
