  • New Partnership – Mouser Announces Partnership with DS PENSKE for Formula E Season 9

Mouser is proud to announce their support of the PENSKE AUTOSPORT group and the newly formed DS PENSKE Formula E team. For the upcoming ninth season of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, the PENSKE AUTOSPORT group will be teaming up with the French automotive brand DS Automobiles. Mouser is partnering with the DS PENSKE team throughout the 2022–23 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship racing season, in collaboration with TTI, Inc. and valued manufacturers Molex and KYOCERA AVX. Mouser and Molex have partnered together to sponsor Formula E racing since 2015. Along with the newly formed team comes a pair of new drivers for the Mouser-backed entry: Formula E World Champion Stoffel Vandoorne and two-time Formula E Champion Jean-Eric Vergne. The Stellantis-backed team has officially revealed its DS E-TENSE FE23: the third-generation, 100% electric car, with black and gold livery. The DS E-TENSE FE23 features a number of significant changes compared to its predecessor. The Gen3 cars are the fastest-ever seen in the Formula E World Championship, with a top speed of 280 kph, while also being 60 kg lighter than the Gen2 car. Formula E Season 9 kicks off on 14 January 2023, with the Mexico City E-Prix.

  • New Resource Site – Mouser Announces Launch of Sensor Design Resource Site

Mouser has announced the launch of a new resource site dedicated to sensor design guides. Advances in sensor design have supported innovative new devices in consumer electronics, medical applications, and automotive manufacturing. The resource site offers a range of rich, in-depth articles on topics including time-of-flight sensors, MEMS microphones, gyroscopes, and accelerometers, providing engineers with the information they need to solve complicated design challenges. In an article on board-mounted temperature sensors, embedded systems expert Ishmael Chigumira explores the technological innovations that have made it possible for temperature sensors to be integrated in a PCB instead of located off-board. In The Dos and Don’t of VOC Sensors, electronic engineer Robin Mitchell provides a detailed introduction to the different types of sensors used to measure volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
