On March 20, 2023, the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) introduced a significant update to its AEC-Q200 standard, adding fuses to the passive electrical devices that must meet rigorous stress test qualifications for the automotive market. 

Heat pumps perform both heating and air conditioning and are all-electric systems. Unlike a fossil fuel heating system, heat pumps do not convert combustible fuel into heat energy. Thus, heat pumps are another tool in the global effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and minimize the potentially catastrophic effects of climate change on the planet. Over 80 countries have endorsed the Net-Zero Emissions (NZE) initiative, which requires a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050.

Littelfuse, Inc. introduced LST Varistor series.

Littelfuse introduced the LST Varistor series.

Littelfuse introduced a reed relay product portfolio that enhances voltage capabilities to include AC ratings, supports AC or DC loads up to 300 Vdc, and provides input/output isolation voltage 2500 VRMS.

The power industry is being manifested in things from advanced materials like wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, to newer, software-oriented power electronic topologies.
