In power electronics, filtering is a critical function for maintaining the intended system performance. AC filter capacitors are used in low-pass LC input and output filters, while AC/DC capacitors can be used in both AC and DC applications.

For these applications, Iskra offers the KNI range, based on polypropylene film technology and designed for systems where current, losses, and component reliability are key factors.

In equipment where the display and NFC connectivity need to coexist within a limited space, integrating both elements into a single module can simplify the mechanical design of the end product.

The new Powertip PH720128T004-ZBC27 combines a 5-inch display with an NFC antenna located on the back of the display. This integration helps reduce the overall size of the finished module, optimizing the mechanical design and reducing manufacturing costs.

Lithium-ion battery-based systems require protection solutions capable of responding to different operating conditions without compromising the overall design. In applications such as power tools, energy storage systems, UPS systems, e-bikes, e-scooters, and battery-powered AGVs, overcurrent protection must also be integrated into compact, high-power-density designs. Schurter’s STTP 9550 family is specifically developed for these types of applications.

In installations where available space is limited, connector size and ease of assembly have a direct impact on the installation process. The RST® MINI system is specifically designed for these environments, with compact dimensions and a construction focused on facilitating installation.

The latest development comes to the RST®16i2/3 series, which incorporates the same 2K manufacturing technology previously used in the RST®NRG flat cable. The process combines hard and soft plastic components through a single two-component injection molding process.

The result is optimized sealing without modifying the existing technical specifications. The new version also maintains 100% compatibility with previous systems.

The evolution of electric mobility is driving manufacturers of electric‑vehicle chargers and single‑phase charging systems to seek switching solutions that combine safety, current‑handling capability, compact integration, and efficiency. Adding to this scenario is the upcoming implementation of the IEC 62955 short‑circuit test, which will become mandatory in the fourth quarter of 2028. For charging‑system designers, anticipating these requirements enables the development of new platforms with a switching solution already prepared for the forthcoming European regulatory demands.

In today’s power electronics landscape, the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure, data centers, EV chargers, photovoltaic inverters, and industrial automation has sharply increased demand for key components. As a result, many manufacturers are facing serious supply chain strain for isolation amplifiers, compromising lead times and the continuity of their production lines.

Relying on a single supplier for critical projects exposes companies to risks such as allocation constraints, cost increases, and production stoppages. Qualifying a second semiconductor source is not just a risk‑mitigation strategy — it is an essential requirement to safeguard supply continuity. Having pin‑to‑pin qualified alternatives allows fast reaction without the need to redesign printed circuit boards (PCBs).

High-density hardware design, present in AI accelerators, 400G/800G optical modules, and PCIe Gen5 systems, imposes critical space restrictions. Traditionally, achieving a low phase jitter level required sacrificing PCB area. However, the GXO-95 series from Golledge breaks this limitation. These devices offer superior phase performance in an ultra-compact 2.0 × 1.6 × 0.7 mm SMD format.

Power management in battery-powered systems represents one of the most critical challenges in the development of IoT and wearable devices. The power consumption derived from the constant refreshing of conventional LCD screens often limits system autonomy. To resolve this trade-off, Raystar has launched its new LCD modules with Memory-in-Pixel (MiP) technology, models RFM01030A2AABWSNN00 and RFM01080A2AAJWSNN00, designed to maintain static visual information with minimal power consumption.

The design of compact electronic devices presents constant challenges in the integration of physical interfaces. The limited PCB space forces engineers to choose components that ensure robustness and precise tactile feedback without increasing the overall volume of the device. The new Schurter TCS43 SMD tactile switch meets this need with an optimized footprint and technical specifications that guarantee durability in demanding environments.

In industrial environments where installation speed and operational flexibility are determining factors, traditional wiring methods often limit execution times. The TP1.5-2 series addresses this need through a modular design that allows for tool-free operations and pre-wiring capability, significantly reducing long-term maintenance costs.
