Vishay has introduced a 45mm inductive encoder for industrial positioning. The RAIK045I MP combines 16-bit resolution, at least 14-bit repeatability, 10-bit absolute accuracy, and operation to 10,000rpm while remaining resistant to external magnetic fields.
Antaira is expanding industrial networking around higher-power PoE infrastructure products. New and current switches combine IEEE 802.3bt delivery, Layer 3 routing, fibre uplinks, outdoor wireless links, and central management for surveillance and industrial edge installations.
GlobalFoundries and MPS will move power processes into Singapore production. The long-term agreement transfers proprietary MPS technology to a 300mm fab, with volume output for automotive, industrial automation, robotics, AI, and cloud applications targeted from early 2027.
Pickering reports substantially lower thermal EMF from Series 120 relays. Controlled testing recorded a 46.4µV final offset magnitude against 402.6µV for a comparable 4mm-class device after 600 seconds of coil energisation.
SolarEdge and Infineon are developing semiconductor protection for 800VDC distribution. Their solid-state circuit-breaker architecture uses silicon carbide JFET technology to target microsecond fault isolation between high-voltage conversion equipment and increasingly power-dense AI compute racks.
Elmos secures 130nm wafer capacity from SK keyfoundry through 2037. The agreement extends an 18-year foundry relationship and supports a new automotive platform beginning with the E550.01 four-channel eFuse controller and a planned compact eFlash memory cell.
