Panasonic's "the big rethink" Podcast Dives Into Future Innovations In The Electrification Mobility Industry With Mr. Tavis Szeto, Panasonic Industrial’s Director of Mobility & Technology

Introducing "the big rethink", a tough and at times, a bold conversation on the future of innovation and what we can expect as work changes.  Hosted by Panasonic TOUGHBOOK’s Barry Ross, Episode 18 features a candid conversation with Mr.

Smart Home technology, also often referred to as Home Automation, provides homeowners security, comfort, convenience, and energy efficiency by allowing them to control smart devices, often by a smart home app on their smartphone or other networked devices.

Wearable technology has become a part of the daily exercise routine for many. Bracelets and Smart Watches can detect how many steps an individual has taken in a day while others can use Sensors to monitor heart rates. This helps people stay healthy by creating a stream of data that allows users to monitor their physical fitness and remain in peak shape.

Panasonic’s ETQ-PM Series Metal Composite Type Power Choke Coils are suited for filter, step-down and step-up circuits for DC/DC converters. They are AEC-Q200 Compliant offering reliability when exposed to high temperatures along with a high tolerance to vibration.

PhotoMOS® Optically-Isolated Relays are quite different from standard electromechanical relays and have a variety of applications including test and measurement equipment, industrial control, and security.

Over the years, test and measurement companies have sought for a feature in relays that provides an accurate reading at low current. This is important because at very low current, there is a tendency for inaccurate measurements to occur, thus causing false readings. This feature is referred to as Thermal Electromotive Force (EMF), and is found in a few Relays.

Relay Contact Resistance

Contact resistance is a crucial electrical characteristic. The resistance between the contact terminals determines the Relay's ability to carry current. The contact resistance is subject to change during the life of the Relay. Based on lab investigations and testing, abnormal contact resistance has often been found with the following conditions:

Have you ever wondered why some Measurement Sensors can only be used on dull surfaces (e.g. thread depth measurement on a tire), or only on shiny surfaces (e.g. thickness measurement of glass)? In order to fully grasp the concept, some basics about reflection must be covered. Let’s get some background information on reflection.

A temperature controller is a device that one can employ to provide a consistent temperature in their process. Panasonic Temperature Controllers have a PID function to calculate an appropriate counter response to fluctuations in the process.
