Mouser Electronics, the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, highlights the importance of passive components in electronic design.

Mouser, in collaboration with Bourns, recently unveiled a new eBook that highlights the emerging role of passive components in new electronics applications such as renewable energy, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and electric vehicles (EVs).
This e-book, titled "Passive Components and Emerging Applications," features 11 experts from major companies including Burns, Eaton, Samsung Electronics, and Whirlpool, providing in-depth information on the importance of passive components in electronic circuits.

This eBook is divided into five chapters that focus on various types of passive components, as well as a long-term outlook on the future of electronic design, covering topics such as magnetics and circuit protection, current measurement, and resistive solutions for precharge/discharge circuits.

Passive components play a critical role in the operation of electronic devices, supporting functions such as signal processing, power conversion, power management, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression. While passive components have always been used in all electronic products, their importance is growing, particularly in various next-generation solutions, including 5G mobile networks, eco-friendly energy storage devices, smartphones, and autonomous vehicles. Passive components ensure stable performance even in harsh environments such as extreme temperatures, humidity, or vibration, making it easier to implement increasingly complex electronic designs.

This new eBook includes information on over a dozen relevant Burns products, including the SRPWA series of AEC-Q200 compliant shielded power inductors, the PTVS1-0xxC-H series of high-current power TVS diodes, the CMP-Q series of high-power anti-surge chip resistors, and the PLN series of planar transformers. Burns' reliable passive components provide high-current surge protection and stable switching for demanding designs and applications.

Mouser offers a wide range of burnishing products, including connectors, sensors, switches, and fixed resistors.
