Diodes Incorporated has recently launched a range of six automotive-compliant*, single- and dual-channel, high-side IntelliFETs®. These provide a smaller, higher reliability alternative to relays, fuses, and discrete
Once located, check the terminals of the relay for power and ground and then replace the relay to recheck the system. You can swap the relay for a similar one such as the power windows or door locks for testing, many of these relays are the same....
The electric trunk actuator is a device with only a few parts, including a button, a fuse, a push rod, two four-pin relays, and an electric motor. Today, there are two varieties of actuators that actuate the stem to open the lid; a mechanism that has either an electric motor or magn...
Automotive is one of the most important new verticals for 5G, and our wireless research team has been working on enabling advanced safety features. Looking forward, we are focusing on improving road safety for both vehicles and pedestrians. This includes bringing more environmental awareness through ...
Switcher technology is also used to make AC from DC, as found in many of the automobile power inverters used to run AC appliances in an automobile and in uninterruptible power supplies. Switcher technology in automotive power inverters changes the direct current from the auto battery into alternati...

This is driven by increased demand across various sectors, including electronics, automotive, telecommunications, healthcare, and industrial equipment. Global PCB assembly market size Global PCB assembly market in US$ billion from 2024 to 2029...
Check out the microswitches too, because all of them have to be fully functional for your top to work properly. Make sure that all moving joints and hinges in the frame of the convertible top are lubricated. Operate your convertible top manually a few times and observe its movement. If a...
Automotive lead-acid batteries should be maintained at a 75 percent charge level or higher for best performance and life. If the battery is allowed to run down and is not brought back up to 75 percent or higher charge within a few days, the battery may be permanently damaged. Sulfation can...
The motor is energized by closing a relay and turning on an AC inverter. The output of the inverter is stepped down to 24V AC with a transformer. The direction of the motor is controlled with another relay. I used 40 Amp automotive relays because they are cheap, available everywhere, and...
Applications Engineer Anant Kamath, Systems Engineer Introduction Electromechanical relays (ERs) and solid-state relays (SSRs) are widely used in industrial and automotive applications to switch high voltage AC or DC loads, using a low-voltage control signal from a microcontroller that is galvanically ...
