Most electronic devices we use today are hard, rigid, and fragile. Look inside them and you’ll see why: The circuits that make them work sit on a solid printed circuit board, or a PCB. It’s a constraint that limits not only how we design our devices, but also how we interact with them. But what if it didn’t have to be that way? Enter flexible electronics – circuits printed onto flexible substrates – enabling a whole new realm of technological designs that save space, simplify assembly, and ev...
According to the latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, transport accounts for 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. The vast majority, around 70 percent, is emitted by road vehicles. To improve its sustainability and contribute to global emission reduction targets, the transport sector is in the midst of a technological revolution centered on electrification. In this interview, Sara Ghaemi, Director of Technical Development at Avnet Abacus, explains to what ...
This interview is part of the new issue 'Sustainable Transportation' of Avnet Abacus' Focus Magazine, that is available free of charge: Focus Magazine Mobility – the way we get around – is at a crossroads. Over the coming years and decades, its transformation will be far more profound than simply replacing fossil-fuel-powered vehicles with electric ones. As mechanical vehicles morph into sophisticated computers on wheels, they are calling into question longstanding ownership models, business ...
The way charging infrastructure solutions are designed is affected by new battery technologies and fast-charging systems, innovative tech and connectivity applications, and an increasing degree of vehicle automation. Plus, other factors such as energy supply, political decisions and global trends will also have an impact on our future charging infrastructure.In this episode, we’re setting out to discuss which trends are the most important for charging station manufacturers with Bevan Braude, ...
The speed at which electric vehicles can be charged is an important point of difference in the rapidly developing electric vehicle market. But the charging infrastructure has to keep up, too – and the developmental leaps in fast-charging technology are just as significant. While 50 kW charging stations were considered state-of-the-art not long ago, we are now increasingly seeing stations installed that can charge EVs’ batteries at 100, 150 or even 300 kW.In this episode, we’ll be discussing w...
Car manufacturers in Europe complain that the expansion of our electric car charging infrastructure is not progressing fast enough. ACEA, the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, expects demand for 7 million connections in Europe by 2030 – far more than the 3.9 million charging points planned by policymakers. The high demand for charging stations is also accompanied by rapid developments in charging and battery technology. So what can be done to ensure that charging station manufac...
1.8 trillion euros – that’s the sum the EU wants to invest over the next ten years to go net-zero by 2050 as part of its Green Deal. This, in turn, demands an ambitious rethink in the transport sector, which currently accounts for around 25% of total greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. Electric vehicles will be an important part of this action plan – the market for EVs is booming, with 30 million zero-emission vehicles expected to be on Europe’s roads by 2030. Against this backdrop, it’s clea...

The Technology Addicts brings a fresh voice, captivating insights, and critical know-how to the discussion, from the unique vantage point of a technology distributor.In this first episode, we’ll be joined by three key employees from Avnet Abacus to talk about the evolving role of technology distributors in the development of digital solutions. St...
Today’s episode will plug us right into the heartbeat of every electronic device: its power supply. Often considered merely as an afterthought in product development, the power supply and the architecture it relies on can make or break a product’s performance and reliability. Optimizing power design is essential to maximize efficiency and ensure consistent performance across various load conditions. The power supply does more than just provide the voltage and current needed to drive an applic...
According to the International Energy Agency, progress on clean energy technology deployment exceeded expectations in 2022. Still, the pace will need to pick up to achieve the ambitious goal of net zero emissions by 2050. This will require rapidly upgrading the infrastructure that supports smart energy solutions and connects seamlessly across energy production, distribution, storage, and consumption. This call to action presents a huge opportunity for electronic component and solution pr...
The rising expectations in terms of sustainability are heavily impacting the electronics sector. It is clear that building a smart sustainable future will require electrifying virtually all aspects of the economy. With demand for power rising year after year across applications, that won’t be easy. To succeed, we’ll have to harness efficiency gains wherever they are available. That’s why we made efficiency the focus of this first episode in our smart energy series. So stay with us and learn w...
