Counterfeit electronic components are not an unfamiliar problem and have become an increasing concern throughout the years. Counterfeits pose a serious risk to the safety and reliability of the aerospace and defense systems and can cause catastrophic consequences.
Category cables are used to connect computer network devices, like modems, routers, computers, servers, and switches. Common names for category cables include network, LAN, or Ethernet cables. Wavenet, Inc. – a leading manufacturer of structured cabling solutions – offers category (CAT) cables in its lineup, which includes CAT6A, CAT6, CAT5E and CAT3.
Are we prepared to see future docuseries of abandoned gas stations the way we do for abandoned malls and decayed big box stores? Rusted gas pumps that haven’t been touched in years, dirt covered tanker trucks sitting in empty lots, and convenient stores with boarded windows and empty shelves. Will traditional gas stations become ghost towns? With the way electric vehicles (EVs) are changing the game and taking charge—we just might see it happen.
It’s easy to underestimate the significant impact something as small as a speck can have. Take the universe for instance—we are submerged in a galaxy among billions of galaxies yet being so small in the midst of it all, does not take away the importance we contribute as a whole. This can be applied to electronic components integrated in machines, aircraft, automobiles, and medical devices. These small parts are critical in making sure everything runs smoothly and safely, and even the slightest defect in the part can cause serious harm and danger.
Here’s a challenge: drive a single mile without coming across an electric vehicle on the road. It would be nearly impossible to win that one. Electric cars are constantly buzzing past us and charging stations are popping up on every corner. We now live in a world where electric and hybrid vehicles are becoming just as popular and accessible as ordinary gas-fueled vehicles.
P-DUKE, a leading manufacturer of high-quality AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies, introduces its new cost-effective MPK06 converter series dedicated for medical applications with 2xMOPP insulation requirements. The product can be used for home patient care systems, medical monitors, robotic surgical devices, aesthetic equipment, x-ray machines, blood analyzers, and more.
Electronic components are everywhere. From small resistors to huge power supplies, they are a fundamental part of how we design and build electronic equipment. But what happens when you come across a counterfeit electronic component?
There are several different scenarios to overheating – the risk of a breakdown and short circuit, a liquid leakdown, or an open flame. But there is a solution to potential overheating issues: SETsafe | SETfuse, a leading manufacturer of circuit protection solutions and components.
All good things must come to an end, and those electronic components you love so much are no exception. Watching sought-after electronic components slowly disappear into a blackhole, rarely to be seen again, could be tough. But unfortunately, that is what a product’s life cycle is all about, and End–of–Life (EOL) is the final stage.
Can the semiconductor industry finally breathe a sigh of relief? The answer to that question is yes. For now. After two tumultuous years, the chip shortage crisis is now starting to ease, as evident with reduced demand and spending.
