Greenconn, a leading manufacturer of electronic connectors, is excited to announce a strategic internal restructuring designed to boost operational efficiency and elevate responsiveness to customer needs.

Piezoelectricity is an inherent property of certain materials. Strange as it sounds, piezoelectric materials generate current when they are mechanically stressed. Inverse piezoelectricity also exists, where materials change shape upon the application of an electric field. The article explores the role of piezoelectric materials in modern times.

A GaN charger is a very small charger that doesn't become hot to touch, even after continuous use. Conventional chargers in our homes and offices are made up of silicon. GaN chargers are made from Gallium Nitride — a superior semiconductor to silicon. Check out the article to learn about gallium nitride chargers used in consumer electronics, their benefits, and some common myths about them.

Renesas Electronics Corporation has introduced three new high-voltage 650V GaN FETs for AI data centers and server power supply systems including the new 800V HVDC architecture, E-mobility charging, UPS battery backup devices, battery energy storage and solar inverters.

Europe’s electricity mix is getting cleaner, and with it, the climate advantage of electric cars is growing. According to new ICCT research, battery electric cars sold today produce 73 % less life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions than their gasoline counterparts — even when factoring in production. That’s a 24 % improvement over our 2021 estimates. In contrast, other powertrains, including hybrids and plug-in hybrids, show only marginal or no progress in reducing their climate impacts.

The new BMx7318/7518 IC family delivers an advanced, cost-effective 18-channel Li-ion battery cell controller solution that is designed to enhance performance and safety in EVs, energy storage systems and 48V applications.

Nexperia has introduced the industry’s first ESD diodes designed to protect 48 V automotive data communications networks against the destructive effects of electrostatic discharge events. This new portfolio of six robust AEC-Q101 qualified devices cover the required higher reverse working maximum voltage for increasingly common 48 V board nets. This ultimately saves PCB space and system cost while maintaining signal integrity even at higher data rates.

Nexperia has announced the addition of two 1200 V 20 A silicon carbide Schottky diodes to its continuously expanding portfolio of power electronics components. These diodes are engineered to improve energy efficiency, meeting the demands of high-powered AI servers, telecom equipment, and solar inverters.

The Brazilian energy and petroleum company Petrobras has signed a consulting contract with Hitachi Energy to study the electrification of their offshore oil platforms. The study will form part of the Assessment of Electrical Interconnection of Petrobras Platforms with the Onshore Power System, supporting the strategy to reduce carbon emissions in their operations since electricity generation in Brazil has a high share of renewables.

The European Green Deal aims for EU climate neutrality by 2050, focusing on transforming the electronics sector through circular economy principles. It seeks to reduce electronic waste and encourages sustainable practices like reuse and recycling. This shift offers the industry a chance to enhance competitiveness and sustainability.
