Panasonic Engages in Joint Research on Ultra-light EMC Shielding Material Development

Ultra-light weight at 1/270 the bulk density of aluminum

Reduces weight in applications such as spacecraft, eVTOL vehicles, and 5G/6G base stations

Panasonic has embarked on a joint research project on ultra-light EMC shielding material technology with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, National Research and Development Agency (JAXA). The goal is to reduce the weight of satellites through wireless in-flight communication. This requires advanced electromagnetic shielding technology to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

EEF-KX Series SP-Cap™ Specialty Conductive Polymer Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Panasonic’s Newest High-Reliability SP-Cap Capacitors Are Extremely Durable Under High Temperature and High Humidity Conditions, Long Product Life, and Ultra-Low 9 mΩ Max. ESR

Panasonic, a worldwide leader in Capacitor Products, announces the New EEF-KX Series Surface Mount Specialty Conductive Polymer Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors featuring high endurance of 5,500 hours at 125°C, which enables use in applications with exceptionally long life.

Low-loss MEGTRON 8 joins the MEGTRON family of high-performance circuit board materials

Panasonic Electronic Materials now offers MEGTRON 8, a multi-layer circuit board material featuring low transmission loss, designed for high-speed communication network equipment such as routers and switches.

The high-speed network equipment that is the backbone of the Internet of Things now needs to meet 800GbE targets: twice as fast as the current 400 GbE standard. As transmission speed increases, so too does transmission loss. MEGTRON 8 provides the reduced transmission loss required to ensure signal quality in these new conditions.

Panasonic to conduct experiments in outer space to develop cutting-edge electronic materials for aerospace applications

Panasonic Industry Co., Ltd announced plans to investigate the impact of the space environment on electronic materials and aid future product development for aerospace applications.  Materials to be tested include high-performance circuit board laminates and underfills for board-level reinforcement. These materials will be launched into space next year and positioned on the Exposed Facility of the Japanese Experiment Module Kibo on the International Space Station (ISS) for six months.

ERJ-PM8 Series Anti-Surge Thick Film Chip Resistors

The Panasonic ERJ-PM8 Series Anti-Surge Thick Film Chip Resistors offer exceptional ESD surge characteristics compared to Standard Metal Film Resistors. These new Resistors help reduce the need for high resistance value resistors as well as offer high precision, high voltage, and high resistance with a limited element voltage of 500 V, a 1% resistance tolerance, a TCR of ±100ppm, and a high resistance value range of 1MΩ~10MΩ.
