Diabetes, often called the “silent epidemic,” is increasing worldwide. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) reports that 537 million people lived with diabetes in 2021, and this number is expected to climb to 643 million by 2030. With this surge, accurate and user-friendly glucose...
When it comes to electric vehicles, two concerns dominate the minds of drivers: range and safety. Both are directly tied to one critical factor — the temperature of the battery pack. Too cold, and range drops sharply. Too hot, and safety risks emerge. Inside this “energy core,” rel...
When testing or applying NTC thermistors, two parameters often come up: thermal time constant (τ) and response time. Both describe the sensor’s dynamic temperature response, and while closely related, they are defined differently. Understanding their relationship requires looking at b...
In the electronics industry, surge current protection is one of the most critical topics when designing reliable systems for power supplies, energy storage, EVs, industrial controls, and medical devices.Yet, a common misconception persists:“If there’s already a fuse, do I still need...
When electrical equipment powers on, it often experiences a sudden surge of current — known as inrush current — that can be several times higher than the steady-state operating current. This surge may damage sensitive components, blow fuses, or shorten the life of your system. That&rsquo...
As electronics grow smaller, faster, and more power-hungry, thermal sensing has become mission-critical. Are your designs ready for the heat? NTC thermistors are playing a central role in keeping systems safe, efficient, and reliable.
At Shiheng Electronics, we’re proud to be part of th...
Ever noticed your lawn mower running hotter during the summer? With longer daylight hours and rising outdoor temperatures, mowing equipment works harder — and faces much greater thermal stress. Whether you’re using a gas-powered model or a battery-powered electric mower, extended use und...
With the rapid growth of wireless charging and portable power banks, ensuring thermal safety has become a critical part of product design. These compact devices often operate in confined spaces where heat dissipation is limited. Without proper temperature control, overheating can lead to reduced cha...
Every time an industrial power supply or motor-driven system starts up, it experiences a momentary surge of current — known as inrush current. This surge can be several times higher than the normal operating current and can cause stress, damage, or even failure of components such as fuses, rec...
NTC thermistors are indispensable in modern temperature sensing and compensation circuits — from automotive systems to consumer electronics. Yet, selecting the right thermistor starts with one often-overlooked step: understanding the datasheet. Misinterpreting key parameters can lead to poor p...
Are your currency counters protected against overheating? Have you ever considered what happens inside a currency counter after hours of continuous operation? Components like motors and transformers generate significant heat — and without proper temperature control, that heat can lead to count...
As embedded systems become more intelligent and power-aware, the ability to monitor temperature accurately has become essential. Whether you're designing a power supply, motor controller, battery pack, or IoT device, integrating an NTC thermistor is a simple yet powerful way to enable real-time ther...
