Electric vehicle technology is rapidly improving, along with fast EV charging infrastructure and connectivity systems that make it faster and easier to charge at home and on the road. Stricter air pollution regulations in a growing number of cities are prompting restrictions on diesel vehicles and putting pressure on the automotive industry to design electricRead More

The variety of applications within E-mobility require connections that perform at cutting-edge high-speeds, as well as endure environmentally rugged conditions to consistently support the signal between a vehicle’s battery and motor. No one knows what safety challenges may arise during travel. Flights can be interrupted by turbulence or sudden changes in weather patterns. Pedestrians, animals,Read More

Batteries, battery management systems, and battery energy storage technologies have rapidly evolved, alongside interconnects, to make transformative new electronics possible. Batteries are becoming the latest disruptive technology as their size and weight decreases, their performance, safety, and energy density increases, and their prices come down, enabling an increasing range of technologies across every sector toRead More

Batteries have become an indispensable part of modern life, powering everything from TV remotes to electric vehicles. At their core, batteries are electrochemical devices that convert chemical energy into electricity. Several battery types dominate the market, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, including lithium-ion (Li-ion), nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), and lead-acid. Ubiquitous in today’s digitalRead More

New interconnect technologies help design more efficient, more powerful electric vehicles beginning with the battery pack. The foundation of any electric powertrain is the EV battery pack, as it is here that electrical energy supplied by charging infrastructure is stored. When the vehicle is moving, the battery is responsible for delivering this energy to theRead More
