Undoubtedly, downsizing is a trend in the electronics industry - watch this latest and comprehensive short video and learn what Panasonic Industry has to offer for resistor downsizing - while ensuring the highest power range in smallest case sizes an...
In plastic materials that are flame retardant with red phosphorous, outgassing can occur. This has an impact on electronic components – in relays, for example, it can cause increased contact resistance, and some corrosion phenomena of components...
Did you know that not all film capacitors are big fellows with two or four legs as you would commonly guess? And also, that besides the well-known PP and PET dielectric there are film capacitors using PPS or PEN as a dielectric material? "T...
A higher level of power in smaller parts – this is undoubtedly the overriding direction where the electronic component market is currently heading. That also applies for resistors, being the smallest and most accessible components in any elect...
Pure tantalum capacitors – also in modern electronics design they stand for extremely high capacitance values for any given volume. But as beneficial as their constructive principle appears - it also reveals pitfalls that make engineers investigate s...
Doubtlessly, there is a shift towards an entirely new and more environmental-friendly perception of individual mobility. Apparently, we are talking of electric vehicles and the corresponding charging infrastructure. The goals are set – more and more ...
Known as pioneers of metal composite power inductor technology, Panasonic Industry has undoubtedly made a name for itself - but the industries’ rapid developments and increased demands on the specs of passive components wouldn’t allow any rest on the...
The growing demand, popularity and hence markets in the field of renewable energy, such as solar power plants and battery storage systems evoke an ever stronger interest in high voltage and high current switching devices that meet the contemporary re...
When the talk is about a device’s overall reliability, we know that is first and foremost a question of the components it is consisting of. Next to the ability to withstand rough operational conditions such as vibrations and shocks, it is high voltag...
The have been the coil of choice for generations of engineers - despite a number of immanent weak spots: Ferrite inductors. With the rise of metal composite inductors, however, there has finally been a leap in overcoming the disadvantages of this 20t...
Wherever we look, technological progress for the sake of a steadily improving product comfort and efficiency is characterized by electrification, automation and connectivity. Let it be automotive innovations, industrial robotics or a new era of commu...
Modern automotive applications are more than ever subject to the primacy of miniaturization and efficiency. Particularly talking about switching options, the design of modern automotive applications is increasingly turning to PCB-mounted products in ...
