The Honeywell latest oil-filled, media-isolated 13V Series stainless-steel pressure sensors is specially designed for UHP applications that involve measurement of gases and liquid flow in harsh environments. The rugged, media-isolated package incorporates a Honeywell proven piezoresistive semiconductor chip in an oil-isolated housing. This design has proven to be highly reliable, stable, and accurate.  Designed with…

Introduction As electric vehicles rapidly become the backbone of future transportation, battery safety has emerged as one of the most critical challenges facing OEMs and system designers. Lithium-ion batteries deliver exceptional energy density, but when failures occur, they can escalate quickly into thermal runaway events that threaten passenger safety, vehicle assets, and brand reputation. The…

Silicon carbide (SiC) power devices are increasingly used in energy storage systems, EV chargers, and industrial inverters—but not every design benefits equally from SiC. Rather than rehashing material science fundamentals, this article focuses on when silicon carbide meaningfully improves real-world power system designs. Why Silicon Is Reaching Its Practical Limits At higher voltages and power…
