Power Electronic Tips
SMD zero-ohm jumpers handle over 70 A
Zero-ohm jumpers are widely used in all types of electronic circuits for a wide range of markets and end products. They make circuitry routing easier and simplify manufacturability. However, jumper requirements for higher current levels frequently exceed the capability of general-purpose jumpers, and even some jumpers are classified by the manufacturer as “high current.” Stackpole’s […]
Ultra thin, 3 m dielectric film for high-heat SiC inverter technology
SABIC will introduce at the 2022 Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) in booth #1718, a new, thinner gauge of its ELCRES HTV150A dielectric film which may be used for capacitors in the traction inverters, onboard chargers, and electrical compressors of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles (xEV). The 3-micron (µm) film is 40 percent […]

High-current shunt resistors offer a 5-W power rating
Modern electronics utilize current sense resistors for portable power management. As larger and more powerful devices become portable, higher currents and higher power ratings become critical, however, space for any portable electrical device must always be conserved. The HCSM2818 from Stackpole offers a 5-watt continuous power rating to maximize power handling in a given PCB […]
