Europe’s electrification plan will reshape industrial electronics demand through 2040. Power semiconductors, drives, storage, charging, sensing, and grid-control hardware will carry a growing share of the investment.
Microchip has introduced an industrial 90W Power over Ethernet midspan. The PD-9601GCI adds IEEE 802.3bt power to existing Gigabit networks without replacing the installed switch.
TT Electronics will present high-density aerospace power systems at Farnborough. Its portfolio includes high-voltage conversion, bidirectional platforms, VPX supplies, SiC modules, magnetics, and electronic assemblies.
DigiKey now stocks Analog Devices’ MAX17639 10A synchronous buck converter. The device accepts inputs to 36V and integrates the switching stage, monitoring, and protection functions.
WeEn has introduced silicon-carbide modules spanning four high-voltage classes worldwide. The WMSC family supports solid-state transformers, charging infrastructure, renewable systems, and high-density data-centre power conversion.
TE Connectivity has expanded access to 1,500V bidirectional DC contactors. The devices target storage, charging, marine, data-centre, and industrial power systems.
Infineon has introduced a radiation-hardened gate driver for orbital power. The device supports GaN and silicon switching stages in high-reliability converter designs.
Infineon and LS Electric will develop high-efficiency DC power systems. Their programme covers energy storage, solid-state transformers, fast protection, and AI data-centre infrastructure.
NextGO Epi has raised €2m to scale gallium-oxide epiwafers production. The Berlin company is targeting high-voltage power devices while addressing thermal, reliability, packaging, and yield constraints.
Vishay has narrowed automotive optocoupling for dense high-voltage control boards. The device combines 1MBd signalling, reinforced isolation, and high transient immunity in a 3.6mm SOP-5 package.
