  While picking the right reed switch, you must evaluate it across a few essential aspects, including its pole and throw switch configurations, physical size, electrical specifications, etc. Let's delve into each to know how to pick the best reed switch. 1. Pole and Throw Configurations Littelfuse reed switches are available in four configurations, including, • Single pole single throw (SPST): It builds or breaks the connection of a single conductor in a single branch circuit. It has two terminals and is called a "Single-Pole" Switch. • Single pole double throw (SPDT): It builds or breaks the connection of a single conductor with any one of the two other single conductors. It has three terminals and is termed a "Three-Way" Switch. • Double pole single throw (DPST): It builds or breaks the connection of two circuit conductors in one branch circuit. Usually, it has four terminals.   • Double pole double throw (DPDT): This six-terminal switch builds o

  The global EV sector is growing by the day. But with growth come evolving consumer demands and the need to handle the dynamicity of the market. Globally, EV makers are adopting 800-V drive systems to increase vehicle efficiency, ensure rapid charging and augment the distance range of vehicles. SiC MOSFETs are precisely helping EV makers around the globe graduate to these next-gen objectives and in power devices for EV powertrains. They have become a crucial element of EVs. Their use extends to various areas like onboard chargers, traction inverters, etc. Let’s delve a bit more into the advantages of SiC MOSFETs, especially given next-gen demands. SiC MOSFET Advantages Over Conventional Silicon Devices and Silicon IGBTs: Silicon devices might have ruled the EV horizon for quite some time. But SiC MOSFETs are slated to dethrone them. Of course, the reasons are valid.   Some areas wherein SiC MOSFETs have the upper hand include voltage, frequency, and switching capabilities. Let’s look

  Lately, the uses of reed switches have gone past burglar alarms. The automotive sector, including electric vehicles, has discovered the utility of reed switches to facilitate a range of features and functionalities. Accordingly, the vehicle industry uses reed switches in a lot of automotive electronics for signal switching using reed relays and in overheat protection using thermal reed sensors.   Additionally, miniature reed relays that can switch high loads are used in automotive climate control -circuits to switch on or switch off the heater and AC circuits, to control the turn signals, and in applications for overload protection. Besides reed relays, the automotive sector makes use of thermal reed sensors as a safety cut-out when electronics on the control circuit exceed a particular temperature. Other applications of a reed switches in the automotive sector include, Power window operation Speedometer In-vehicle navigation centers Cruise control Power steering Door lo

  Human safety being of utmost importance on the roads, the Government keeps updating policies and standards for manufacturing of automobiles. One such for India is a new AIS 154 standard regarding technical requirements for Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). To start with, A tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is basically an electronic system which is designed to monitor the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires. The purpose of the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in your vehicle is to warn you that at least one or more tires are significantly under-inflated, possibly creating unsafe driving conditions. The TPMS low tire pressure indicator is a yellow symbol that illuminates on the dashboard instrument panel in the shape of a tire cross-section (that resembles a horseshoe) with an exclamation point. The goal of a TPMS is avoiding traffic accidents, poor fuel economy, and increased tire wear due to under-inflated tires through early recognition of a hazardous state of

1. Accelerated Manufacturing: While in the process of developing an embedded system, you incur a significant amount of effort in configuring the CPU infrastructure. With advancements and improvements in semiconductor technology, designing these microprocessors has become even more challenging and time-consuming.   Here, SOMs play a role. They help avoid the extra production time required to design a multi-faceted and sophisticated CPU subsystem. Additionally, using SOM technology helps maintain quality.   2. Considerable Cost-Savings: Using a pre-developed SOM helps reduce or eliminate costs related to engineering and manufacturing a chip-down CPU infrastructure. You can easily switch them out with minimal changes required to the carrier board. Hence, SOMs can help lessen the risk of a finished product going end-of-life due to a CPU turning redundant, a memory or a flash chipset. Thus, you avoid the need for total redesigning and save costs in the long run. 3. Reduced Market Time
