SUMMARY:Magnetic Modeling - How Frenetic Models Magnetics
DESCRIPTION:How Frenetic Models Magnetics — a transparent deep-dive\n\n\nWednesday\, February 25\, 4:00 PM\nWhat actually happens when Frenetic simulates a magnetic component? \n  \nBehind every inductance value\, loss estimation\, and thermal prediction\, there is a modeling approach built on physical assumptions. Understanding how those models work — and where they reach their limits — is essential for designing with confidence. \n  \nIn this 30-minute session\, Jonas Mühlethaler\, CTO of Frenetic and Professor of Electrical Engineering at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU)\, will break down Frenetic’s modeling approach step by step — from reluctance and loss calculations to thermal predictions — illustrated with a concrete example. \n  \nHe will also explain where analytical models reach their limits\, and why planar magnetics often call for FEM due to their geometric complexity and strong coupling effects. \n  \nWhat you’ll learn: \n\nHow Frenetic builds magnetic circuit models using reluctance methods\nHow core and copper losses are calculated\nHow thermal predictions are derived\nWhere analytical models perform reliably\nWhy certain geometries — especially planar magnetics — challenge simplified assumptions\n\nThis session is not about comparing modeling tools. \nIt’s a transparent look at how physical modeling is applied in real magnetic design.

SUMMARY:Cybersecurity at the Eleventh Hour – from RED to CRA – Information and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Cybersecurity at the Eleventh Hour – from RED to CRA – Information and Discussion\, Würth Elektronik Webinar\nTuesday\, March 3rd 2026 @ 4:00PM CET \nCybersecurity is no longer a topic of the future – it’s a pressing reality. With the RED Delegated Regulation and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)\, companies are facing new regulatory requirements that significantly impact product development and compliance strategies. But what exactly is required? How should risks be assessed? And what about existing systems?\n\nThis webinar builds on the previously published introductory session on cybersecurity\, which you can find here in Würth Elektronik’s Video Center. Now\, we take the next step – with deeper insights\, practical examples\, and space for open discussion. \n\nWürth Elektronik together with Phoenix Testlab and the German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) as guest\, invites you to join a focused exchange with experts from industry\, testing bodies\, and regulatory authorities.

SUMMARY:Simplifying design with easy-to-configure modular connectors
DESCRIPTION:Simplifying design with easy-to-configure modular connectors featuring Hyperboloid contact technology\nDate: April 14\, 2026\nTime: 11:00 AM ET | 10:00 AM CT | 8:00 AM PT\nDuration: 60 Minutes \nPresented By: \nJoydip Sanyal  (Product Group Manager\, General Industrial and Aerospace and Defense  – Connectors BU\, Smiths Interconnect) \nSmiths Interconnect’s new optimized\, versatile and high-density modular connector series is rugged\, easy to configure and employs a do-it-yourself system. The connector series is based on the principle of building blocks which consists mainly of two elements: modules and frames. It’s flexible\, which allows the ability to mix and match modules for signal\, power\, coaxial\, pneumatic and high-speed data contact technologies into different configurations within a single connector frame including a vast selection of hoods. \nA key feature of the series is the high reliability due to hyperboloid contacts which qualify it to operate for high vibration applications like missile launchers or test and measurement use that require up to 100\,000 mating cycles to allow high mean time between failure reducing downtime in operations. \nThe series was recently enhanced with the introduction of the new Cat5e and Cat6A ethernet data in accordance with IEEE 802.3 transmission modules. These new modules combine the proven technical characteristics of the hyperboloid contact with the use of high-quality and compliant insulator material – like the polycarbonate family – to offer industry compliance and high performance. Customers can now easily configure modular connectivity solutions for their designs using to the new online configurator for the fully integrated modular L series. \nKey takeaways: \n\nModular Design\nVersatility and Customization\nHigh Reliability\nEnhanced Data Capability\nNew Online Configurator
