Power supply manufacturers are also facing pressure from component shortages, testing their operational capabilities as gross profit margins try to recover
Since the beginning of this year, power supply manufacturers have been facing shortages of electronic components such as MOSFETs and passive components. To ensure smooth shipment, companies have launched aggressive material procurement campaigns, but this has come at the expense of gross profit margins. The market expects the component shortage to persist into the next couple of years. Going forward, key operational factors to watch will include whether manufacturers can maintain stable shipment
Researchers at Saint Petersburg University have synthesized microhelices of iron compounds with a diameter of approximately 12 μm, which can be used to manufacture inductors
Chemists at Saint Petersburg University in Russia have successfully synthesized microhelices of iron compounds with a diameter of approximately 12 μm—about one-tenth the thickness of a human hair. These microhelices can be used to manufacture highly sensitive sensors, catalysts, as well as miniature electromagnets or inductors.
With a wave of new photovoltaic policies, which is the right path: grid parity, energy storage, or overseas markets?
Since the release of the “5.31” new photovoltaic policy, the entire PV industry has been in turmoil. Just as the industry was plunged into uncertainty, on July 3rd, the nation’s first subsidy-free distributed photovoltaic project was launched in Jintan, Changzhou. What does the future hold for China’s photovoltaic industry?
The latest quality inspection in Zhejiang revealed that more than half of the power adapters failed to meet standards
With smartphones and tablets becoming common in households, the demand for power adapters required by various electronic products has surged. Power adapters are not disposable items, so their quality is extremely important.
5G Drives Information Consumption, ushering Electronics into a Golden Growth Era
Last Friday, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued a notice on the "Three-Year Action Plan for Expanding and Upgrading Information Consumption (2018-2020)." One of the main goals is to significantly boost the scale of consumption. By 2020, the scale of information consumption is expected to reach 6 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of over 11%.
Seven Tips!!! Easily Improve the Q Value of Inductor Coils
The Q value is a key parameter for inductors. It refers to the ratio of the inductive reactance to the equivalent loss resistance of the inductor when operating under an AC voltage at a certain frequency. The higher the Q value of the inductor, the lower the loss and the higher the efficiency.
The Application of SMD Inductors in Low-Power Power Supplies
Ultra-low power or ultra-high power switching power supplies are not as easy to select as general switching power supplies. Currently, conventional inductors are manufactured for mainstream designs and may not adequately meet the needs of some specialized designs.
Demand for inductors, passive components, and electronic components continues to grow
Taiwan's exports of passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors have experienced double-digit growth for two consecutive years. According to the Ministry of Economic Affairs' Department of Statistics on the 15th, passive component exports reached $2.58 billion in 2017, marking the highest level since 2003 and an annual increase of 13.1%, maintaining double-digit growth for the second consecutive year. Among these, capacitors accounted for 57.9%, resistors 23.6%, and inductors
Ningbo plans to introduce scientific and technological talent, including in the field of magnetic materials, with total R&D investment expected to exceed 5 billion yuan
On May 30, it was reported that the Ningbo Science and Technology Bureau held a “Science and Technology Innovation 2025” major project promotion event in Beijing, issuing an open invitation nationwide. The event introduced Ningbo’s major “Science and Technology Innovation 2025” initiatives launched this year, with total R&D investment expected to exceed 5 billion yuan.
Can wireless charging "cabbage price" coils reduce costs in order to survive?
Recently, well-known battery manufacturer Nanfu launched its first wireless charger on Tmall flagship store, priced at 90 yuan. This is another "cabbage price" wireless charger launched by another "internet celebrity" enterprise after Xiaomi. The era of affordable wireless charging is approaching, and market penetration is about to accelerate. At the same time, the wireless charging market is now mixed with good and bad. How can coil companies further reduce costs and seize this wave?
