EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.--June 19, 2001--NVE Corporation (OTCBB: NVEC)
announced that it has recently begun shipping production quantities
of its new IsoLoop® galvanic isolators to Robert Bosch GmbH's
ETAS GmbH subsidiary. The NVE devices are replacing opto-electronic
isolators in ETAS' automotive measurement products.

quality standards."

gives us a foothold in the automotive industry." The original
equipment (OEM) automotive electronics industry is estimated to
be a $20 billion market, according to Dayton, Ohio-based researcher
The Freedonia Group.
