Sponsored by Chroma System Solutions On rare occasions, an electrical short can develop inside a cell after passing production tests. This is due to burrs or particles on the positive electrode reaching the negative electrode after inflation occurs. If these cells that are susceptible to failure pass through to the end user, the results could be… Read more »

Sponsored by Heraeus The electrification of the powertrain requires the massive use of power electronics and places new demands on the power semiconductor industry. For electromobility to become established, it must be cost-effective and reliable – to achieve this, power semiconductors must have a higher power density, increased efficiency and improved temperature resistance. This requires… Read more »
Sponsored by Momentive As electronic devices continue to get smaller, the amount of heat they dissipate continues to increase. Cooling and temperature control of these devices are needed for proper operation. Silicone thermal interface materials (TIMs), which contain a high ratio of fillers that exhibit outstanding thermal conductivity, have shown to be excellent for such… Read more »
Sponsored by Littelfuse The adoption of electric and hybrid electric vehicles depends on a network of charging stations. Consumers don’t want to run out of juice in a place where they cannot recharge their vehicles. Adoption also depends on reductions in charging time, the goal being to get EV charging time on par with a… Read more »
