Hot topic: Electric vehicle components get more sophisticated thermal models
The high electrical currents of fast charging are forcing designers to invent standard techniques for predictably modeling heat and cooling. Dr. Michael Ludwig, T&C Core Technologies, TE Connectivity The only way electric vehicles (EVs) will ever catch on is if consumers can charge them up quickly. Consequently, manufacturers are developing high-power charging (HPC) schemes which […]
Bridge brings better thermal transfer for high-speed, dense connectors
TE Connectivity (TE) is introducing its thermal bridge technology that can provide up to two times better thermal resistance over traditional thermal technologies such as gap pads or thermal pads. As systems like servers, switches and routers deliver higher speeds and grow more sophisticated, their power requirements are rising, leading to a need for new […]
