### [The Impact of Chinese New Year on Electronic Component Lead Times](https://info.triadmagnetics.com/blog/impact-chinese-new-year-electronic-component-lead-times)

 Posted by [Bill Dull](https://info.triadmagnetics.com/blog/author/bill-dull) | December 15, 2025 | [0 Comments](https://info.triadmagnetics.com/blog/impact-chinese-new-year-electronic-component-lead-times#comments-listing)

In China, one of the most important national events is the Spring Festival. This annual event—also often referred to as Chinese New Year—falls somewhere between the end of January and the middle of February. In 2026, Chinese New Year will begin on February 17th, 2026, ushering in the Year of the Horse.

### [Triad Magnetics’ Plug-In Wall Transformers Achieve Level VI Efficiency](https://info.triadmagnetics.com/blog/plug-in-wall-transformers)

 Posted by [Bill Dull](https://info.triadmagnetics.com/blog/author/bill-dull) | May 31, 2016 | [0 Comments](https://info.triadmagnetics.com/blog/plug-in-wall-transformers#comments-listing)

Because of their former reliance on linear technology, external power supplies were notoriously quite inefficient, achieving efficiency levels as low as 50%. Equally problematic, external power supplies typically continued to draw power in no-load situations.
