EVP-BV Series Low Profile Sealed Top SMD Tactile Switches

Panasonic, a worldwide leader in Electromechanical Products, announces the new EVP-BV Series Low Profile Sealed Top SMD Tactile Switches with an extremely long life, up to a minimum of 300,000 cycles based on operating force type (1.6N or 2.5N). These new Switches also offer a compact size of 6.5mm x 6.2mm with low height profiles of 3.5mm and 4.3mm. The EVP-BV Series is IP67 rated with a sealed top for dust and water-resistance.

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).
