Panasonic introduces the R35 Series High Current Connectors, designed for managing high currents in compact spaces. These connectors feature a slim 0.35mm pitch and support up to 5A through two power terminals, making them ideal for small devices such as smartwatches, hearing aids, and headphones. With a narrow width of 1.7mm, the R35 Series enhances space-saving on the board. They ensure durability and reliable connectivity with their Tough Contact design and v-notch shape, supporting a maximum of 2A on signal pins, suitable for wearable and industrial applications.

Panasonic introduces the EEH-ZV Series Conductive Polymer Hybrid Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors, featuring significantly enhanced performance with a ripple current up to 150% higher and an ESR up to 39% lower than the previous EEH-ZT Series. These capacitors offer exceptional durability with double specification ratings of 125°C and 135°C over 4,000 hours, and a high current capacity up to 4.6 mA. Compliant with AEC-Q200 standards, they meet stringent quality requirements for the automotive industry. For enhanced robustness, variants with a diameter of 6mm or greater are vibration-proof, capable of withstanding shocks up to 30G. The EEH-ZV Series is suitable for a wide range of industries including automotive, communication infrastructure, industrial equipment, and power supply.

The RF4 Series High Frequency Connector from Panasonic is a compact 0.35 mm pitch socket and header connector designed for high-frequency applications including smartphones, tablets, laptops, routers, and other 5G devices. It features a seamless metal shield for enhanced EMI performance and robustness. With Panasonic's unique TOUGH CONTACT construction, these connectors offer superior contact reliability and retention force, making them ideal for 5G millimeter-wave antenna modules.

Panasonic has expanded its R35K Series with a new 6-pin option for the Narrow (Fine) Pitch Connector, complementing the existing 4-pin model. This ultra-small 0.35mm pitch connector facilitates the connection of small, battery-powered devices by transmitting a 3A continuous current through power terminals located at each end. Additionally, its inner pins are each rated at 300mA, suitable for carrying signal. This makes the R35K Series an ideal choice for compact device connectivity.

Panasonic has launched the ETQ-PAMR68JFW Power Inductor, a compact yet high-performance component designed for automotive ECUs. This surface mount power inductor, measuring 17.2x15.6mm, stands as one of the smallest in its class and is optimized for direct engine mounting in vehicles. It offers robust support for large currents, high heat resistance, and superior vibration resistance, meeting the growing demands for smaller, more resilient automotive electronic control units.

Panasonic introduces the new Grid-EYE® Narrow Angle Infrared Array Sensor (AMG883642), a high-precision MEMS technology-based sensor designed for detailed temperature and people detection applications. This sensor features a narrowed 35.6-degree field of view for focusing on closer objects, with a high-resolution 8x8 pixel grid that allows for accurate measurement of temperature distribution. Ideal for HVAC, home appliances, security, building management systems (BEMS), and industrial electronics, this compact surface-mount device maintains the same footprint while offering enhanced functionality compared to its predecessor.

Panasonic has expanded its EKMB and EKMC Series with the introduction of new Ultra Wide and Long Distance Detection Type PIR Motion Sensors. These compact sensors are capable of detecting movement up to a height of 49 feet with a field of view of 91.6° x 45.4°, and they provide 188 detection zones for enhanced radial movement detection, minimizing blind spots. This makes them particularly suitable for high-ceiling installations such as walkways and street lighting. The sensors are easy to install and can be integrated into existing lighting systems, offering both digital and analog outputs.
