Industrial

Over decades of innovation, Panasonic Industry has established itself as a leader in electronic components and solutions, offering cutting-edge and reliable products for a wide range of applications. As the demand for high-speed, low-latency communication continues to rise, 5G technology is playing a crucial role in shaping the future of data centers. The rapid expansion of these networks has introduced new challenges in connectivity, power distribution, and signal integrity, requiring advanced components designed to meet these demanding requirements.

Panasonic is a leader in innovative polymer capacitor solutions for data centers, AI systems, and edge computing. These capacitors outperform traditional technologies in terms of efficiency and durability, addressing key challenges like power management and thermal control. Designed to support the shift to 48V DC power supplies, Panasonic's polymer capacitors—such as SP-CAP™, OS-CON™, and POSCAP™—feature low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and excellent thermal characteristics, making them essential for high-performance applications in modern data environments.

For decades, Panasonic has built a reputation as a leader in the electronics industry. Part of our successful history is as an innovator in the HVAC vertical. As energy efficiency and sustainability take center stage in both commercial and residential sectors, Panasonic continues to evolve its offerings, enabling the development of quieter, more efficient, and longer-lasting systems.

Panasonic’s Energy Management relays can be controlled in ways that help not only make products safer by generating less heat but also fewer allow for reduced power losses through lower coil holding techniques. Explore and discover some of the ways in which these relays can be controlled with less power using optimal circuit design methods.

Relays and contactors are electrically operated switches intended for both switching of loads and controlling electrical circuits. Functionally, relays and contactors fulfill the same role in a circuit which is to provide isolation between a control circuit and an output circuit. Inherent advantages such as small size, PCB mount capability, and low cost allow engineers to replace contactors with relays in several applications.

Panasonic’s industry-leading Tough Contact construction offers the opportunity to design very durable Connectors for extremely tough and rugged applications, even applications that need to satisfy extreme environmental conditions. Able to withstand physical impact, Tough Contact Connectors are resistant to dust, dirt, and solder flux, and are resistant against corrosive gases.

Present-day digital thermostats have evolved into smart, connected thermostats that are becoming more cost-effective as well as easier to use. With an upgrade in power, size and cost, designers can implement PhotoMOS® technology rather than the previous designs that relied on electromechanical relays.

A latching relay is an electromechanical switch commonly selected when the operator must control (either switch off or amplify) a large amount of current flow. It will remain in the last position it was when last powered, whereas a non-latching relay will return to its typical position. While latching and non-latching relays share many similarities in design and function, their significant differences allow each type to be more suitable for separate applications.
