Toyota City, Japan, Feb 20, 2018 – (JCN Newswire) – Toyota Motor Corporation announces that it has developed the world’s first(1) neodymium-reduced, heat-resistant magnet. Neodymium magnets are used in various types of motors such as the high-output motors found in electrified vehicles, use of which is expected to increase rapidly in the future. The new magnet uses significantly less neodymium, a rare-earth element(2), and can be used in high-temperature conditions.
The newly developed magnet uses no terbium (Tb) or dysprosium (Dy), which are rare earths that are also categorized as critical materials(3) necessary for highly heat-resistant … Read More → "Toyota Develops New Magnet for Electric Motors Aiming to Reduce Use of Critical Rare-Earth Element by up to 50%"

Woking, UK, 20 February 2018 – TT Electronics, a global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, has announced the LRMAP5930 series of low resistance, metal alloy current sense power resistors. With values down to 200μΩ and a corresponding power rating on standard FR4 PCB of up to 10W, the maximum measurable current is over 200A, and hence in most cases restricted only by the capacity of the PCB tracks. A 50% higher power rating of 15W can be achieved for assemblies mounted on a thermal substrate such as direct bonded ceramic ( … Read More → "Highly reliable metal alloy resistors from TT Electronics are AEC-Q200 qualified"
