Littelfuse has unveiled the C&K Switches KSC2 KSC Dual Circuit Technology (DCT) series.
The latest addition to its innovative tactile switch series offers a 3.5 mm actuator height, which is lower than the KSC4 DCT at 5.2 mm. This allows it to fit into tighter spaces, providing greater design flexibility.

Additive Drives has developed an injection-moulded copper process for the next generation of electric-drive busbars, writes Nick Flaherty.
The development combines the best of two worlds: specialised design and mass production.
Additive Drives is using the process for busbars with printed, conventional or injection-moulded parts in copper and plastic.

Dürr Systems and LiCAP Technologies are working together to revolutionise the production of battery cells, traditionally reliant on wet coating, with the sustainable Activated Dry Electrode technology.

Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation has released its PBDH0400 series differential probe with a maximum input voltage of 2000 V and a frequency bandwidth of 400 MHz.
The probes can deliver the measurements required for developing the next generation of higher speed power devices.

LEM has developed a current sensor for transformerless, bi-directional, onboard chargers (OBCs), writes Nick Flaherty.
The automotive-grade, residual current monitoring (RCM) sensor is the first of its kind for bi-directional OBCs with ASIL B safety rating.

Electric vehicle (EV) lithium battery fires in facilities such as factories, warehouses, parking structures and ships, though rare, are lethal and destructive when they happen, but remote monitoring of battery temperature can provide a timely warning of a developing problem, writes Peter Donaldson.

Researchers in Korea have developed a cost-effective and eco-friendly technology for recycling cathode materials from spent lithium-ion batteries through a simple process within an existing cell without the need for disassembly, writes Nick Flaherty.

With the market launch of its ZF Bike Eco System, ZF has given details of its three-step service and training concept, which, it says, guarantees minimal effort for manufacturers, dealers and customers when it comes to servicing and retrofitting.

Researchers in the US have developed a solid-state filter for power converters that does not need a capacitor.
Capacitors are one of the main points of failure in an e-mobility power system, responsible for 30% of failures in power electronics.
