  Counterfeit Warning: FAA Issues Alert on Fake Toroidal Inductors in Aviation Power Supplies**WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a **Safety Alert for Operators (SAFO)** warning of counterfeit toroidal power inductors infiltrating the aviation aftermarket supply chain. The fake components, often visually identical, use substandard core materials and windings that fail under thermal stress, risking catastrophic power supply failure mid-flight. The FAA urges all maintenance providers to source parts exclusively through authorized distributors and to implement enhanced component authentication checks.

Research Breakthrough: 3D-Printed Toroidal Inductors Enable Next-Gen Power Densities CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Researchers at **MIT's Power Electronics Research Group have demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed toroidal inductor using a composite material containing suspended magnetic particles. This additive manufacturing technique allows for previously impossible geometries, integrating cooling channels within the core itself. The result is a component that can handle 40% more current in the same volume, paving the way for ultra-compact, high-power aerospace and military power modules.

Why the Food Processing Industry Depends on High-Frequency Transformers   In the food processing industry, steam plays a vital role in cooking, sterilization, and packaging processes. From can sealing to food pasteurization, consistent and reliable steam supply is essential. To achieve this, manufacturers increasingly rely on systems powered by a high isolation transformer. A high frequency ferrite transformer enables rapid heating and precise control of steam generation equipment. Unlike conventional transformers, it supports high-efficiency switching power supplies that can adjust output instantly based on production demands. This is particularly important in automated food production lines where stability and hygiene standards are extremely strict. Moreover, the high frequency flyback transformer is widely used in compact steam generators due to its ability to deliver isolated, regulated output voltages. This ensures electrical safety while maintaining operational efficiency....

Passive Component Manufacturer Expands Production of 33uh Inductor to Meet Surge in Demand Global passive component manufacturer InduGlobal has announced a $20 million investment to expand production capacity of its popular 33uh inductor , citing strong demand from the consumer electronics, automotive, and renewable energy sectors. The expansion will add two new production lines at the company’s facility in Malaysia, increasing monthly output of the 33uh inductor by 50% to 15 million units. “The 33uh inductor has become a staple component in a wide range of high-growth applications, from EV BMS to solar inverters,” said Michael Lee, Chief Operating Officer at InduGlobal. “Our investment will allow us to meet the growing demand while maintaining the strict quality standards our customers expect.” The expanded production lines will feature automated winding and testing equipment, reducing lead times from 8 weeks to 4 weeks. InduGlobal has also announced plans to develop a next-generation...

  Telecommunications Company Deploys 33uh Inductor in 5G Base Station Power Supplies Telecom infrastructure provider GlobalCom has adopted a high-frequency 33uh inductor from TelecomPassive for its latest 5G base station power supply units (PSUs). The inductor is used in the PSU’s power factor correction (PFC) circuit, improving the base station’s power quality and reducing harmonic distortion to meet international telecom standards. “5G base stations operate at higher frequencies and require more efficient power supplies to handle increased data traffic,” said James Wilson, Network Infrastructure Director at GlobalCom.  “The 33uh inductor ’s ability to operate at frequencies up to 5MHz with minimal losses allows our PSUs to achieve a power factor of 0.99, significantly reducing energy waste and lowering operational costs for network operators.” TelecomPassive’s 33uh inductor also features excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression, reducing interference with ot...

Automotive Supplier Qualifies 33uh Inductor for Electric Vehicle Battery Management Systems Automotive component supplier AutoPower Solutions has successfully qualified a 33uh inductor from PassiveTech for use in battery management systems (BMS) of electric vehicles (EVs). The inductor is used in the BMS’s cell balancing circuit, ensuring uniform charging and discharging of individual battery cells to extend battery life and improve safety. “EV manufacturers demand components that meet stringent automotive standards for reliability and durability,” said Elena Gomez, Automotive Business Unit Manager at PassiveTech. “Our 33uh inductor undergoes rigorous testing, including 1,000 hours of thermal cycling and vibration testing equivalent to 10 years of road use, to ensure it performs flawlessly in EV applications.” The inductor’s low self-heating 特性 (self-heating characteristic) also helps maintain optimal operating temperatures within the BMS, reducing the risk of thermal runaway.
