ROHM has launched the English-language version of its Engineer Social Hub, an online platform that provides engineers with easier access to the company’s technical information, application know-how, and product support. The platform brings together technical resources for ROHM’s semiconductor products and enables users to search for solutions, interact with ROHM engineers, and participate in technical discussions with other users.
Engineer Social Hub consolidates product-specific FAQs, technical discussions, documentation, videos, and an AI chatbot into a single online resource. Engineers can browse and search FAQs and discussion threads without registering. Registered users can post technical questions, participate in discussions, and receive direct responses from ROHM engineers.
The platform is designed to simplify access to technical support that previously required contacting ROHM or its distribution partners directly. By making product knowledge available online, ROHM aims to help engineers resolve technical issues more quickly and efficiently.
Engineer Social Hub covers a broad range of ROHM product categories, including:
- Analog ICs
- Power semiconductor devices
- Module products
- Resistors
- Other semiconductor components
In addition to manufacturer support, the platform includes community features that allow engineers to exchange ideas and technical knowledge with one another through discussion forums and topic-based communities. Gamification elements reward active participation by allowing users to earn points for contributing to discussions.
According to ROHM, the platform is intended to evolve into a collaborative engineering community where users and ROHM engineers can work together to solve technical challenges and share application expertise.
Key features include:
- Centralized access to ROHM technical documentation and application know-how
- Searchable product-specific FAQs
- Direct technical support from ROHM engineers through discussion forums
- AI chatbot for technical assistance
- Community discussions among engineers
- Technical documents and instructional videos
- Gamification features that reward user participation
The English-language Engineer Social Hub is available globally and forms part of ROHM’s broader effort to improve technical support and accelerate product development for engineers using its semiconductor solutions.

Micro Commercial Components (MCC) has introduced the MIP50R12E1AML-BP and MIP75R12E2ML-BP, expanding its portfolio of 1200 V IGBT modules for high-power industrial applications. Available in industry-standard E1A and E2 packages, the new modules are designed to improve efficiency, thermal performance, and reliability in demanding power conversion systems.
The MIP Series is offered in 50 A and 75 A current ratings and incorporates low collector-emitter saturation voltage (VCE(sat)), integrated ultra-fast soft-recovery freewheeling diodes, and low-inductance package construction to reduce switching losses, improve efficiency, and enhance overall system performance.
The modules feature short-circuit withstand capability of up to 8 μs and support a maximum junction temperature of 175°C, enabling reliable operation under harsh electrical and thermal conditions. An integrated NTC thermistor provides accurate temperature monitoring for improved thermal management and system protection.
According to MCC, the modules are intended for a wide range of industrial applications, including motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), welding equipment, servo drives, industrial inverters, renewable energy converters, and industrial power supplies.
Key features include:
- 1200 V collector-emitter voltage (VCE)
- 50 A (MIP50R12E1AML-BP) and 75 A (MIP75R12E2ML-BP) current ratings
- Typical VCE(sat) of 2.05 V and 1.9 V
- Integrated ultra-fast soft-recovery anti-parallel freewheeling diodes
- Low switching losses for improved conversion efficiency
- 8 μs short-circuit withstand capability
- Low-inductance package design
- Integrated NTC thermistor for temperature monitoring
- Maximum junction temperature of 175°C
- Industry-standard E1A and E2 module packages
- RoHS compliant
