Fujitsu’s new power relay for on-board EV chargers
Fujitsu has launched the FTR-K5, a 6.6 kW relay for on-board EV battery chargers. The FTR-K5 is a 1 Form A printed circuit board relay. It features a 105º C temperature rating and 8 mm insulation distance between coil and contact. The FTR-K5 also features a 5,000 VAC withstand voltage between coil and contact and… Read more »
FDK and Fujitsu develop novel cathode material for solid-state batteries
FDK and Fujitsu Laboratories have jointly developed lithium cobalt pyrophosphate (Li2CoP2O7) as a cathode material for solid-state lithium-ion batteries. The new material can operate at charge/discharge voltages of more than 5 V, which is beyond the limits of current lithium batteries. The energy of a battery is a function of its voltage and capacity, so an… Read more »
Fujitsu and RESC collaborate on battery swapping information system
The future of battery swapping technology in general is far from clear, but it seems to be well suited to the needs of electric scooters. Fujitsu and venture start-up RESC Ltd. have announced that they will collaborate in developing a system that uses Fujitsu’s cloud service to manage the cassette-type secondary batteries used in RESC’s… Read more »
Hexagon adopts Fugaku supercomputer for aircraft and EV simulations
Hexagon has adopted the Fugaku supercomputer to run complex CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulations. The company’s Manufacturing Intelligence division is using the supercomputer to explore the performance of next-generation aircraft and EVs. Hexagon says its Cradle CFD customers will have the opportunity to tap into the ARM-based Fugaku computer architecture to perform complex simulations, such… Read more »
