Inrush current limiter is SMD saves board space, weight
TDK Corporation has developed the J404, the world’s first surface-mountable inrush current limiter (ICL) based on PTC (positive temperature coefficient) technology. Designed for DC voltages of up to 500 V and AC voltages of up to 350 V, the device (order number B59404J0170A062) automatically and intrinsically limits excessive currents in applications such as DC links […]
Tiny inductors save board space
TDK Corporation has announced the introduction of its new PLEA85 series of high-efficiency power inductors developed for battery-powered wearables and other devices, improving operating times. The new series has the lowest profile* in the industry, due to the use of TDK’s newly developed low-loss magnetic material and its thin-film processing techniques. Mass production of the […]
Coupled inductors improve power converter efficiency
TDK Corporation has expanded its family of flat wire inductors with the high-performance EPCOS ERUC23 coupled inductor series (B82559S*). In such components, two windings share a single magnetic core. The new series comprises six types covering a coupled inductance range from 1.4 µH to 4.1 µH and saturation currents from 50 A to 97 A. […]
Magnetic-field position sensor measures in three axes
TDK Corporation announces the portfolio expansion of its Micronas direct-angle Hall-effect sensor family with the new HAL 3927* sensor for automotive and industrial applications. HAL 3927 features a linear, ratiometric analog output with integrated wire-break detection as well as an SAE J2716 compliant SENT interface according to rev. 4. Samples are already available. The start of production […]
Ceramic caps feature low electrical resistance
TDK Corporation has expanded its CN series of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with a unique design and structure. Unlike conventional soft termination MLCCs with the entire terminal electrodes covered with resin layers, the new design features resin layers covering only a board mounting side, allowing electric current to pass outside the layers and reducing electrical […]
Piezo actuators boast precision in the nanometer range
TDK Corporation presents two new piezo actuators made of RoHS-compatible lead zirconate titanate (PZT) with an internal copper electrode. COM30S5 (B58004M4030A020) and COM45S5 (B58004M4040A020) are available as unhoused, passivated components. They are characterized by an extraordinary dynamic range, a high force-to-volume ratio, and precision in the nanometer range. TDK achieves this through its patented copper-based High […]
Contactors switch high-voltage DC from lithium batteries
TDK Corporation presents HVC27 (B88269X*), its new generation of high-voltage contactors that can safely and reliably switch off continuous DC currents of 300 A to 500 A and operating DC voltages of up to 1000 V in lithium-ion batteries in 20 ms or less, depending on the type. This is made possible by the gas-filled […]
Thin-film capacitor commode mode filters offer noise control in high speed differential transmission
TDK Corporation has announced the introduction of its new TCM0403T series of noise reduction common mode filters for high-speed interface differential transmission (0.45 x 0.3 x 0.23 mm – L x W x H). Mass production of the product series began this month, June 2023. In recent years, as digital electronic equipment has become more […]
SmartBug™ 2.0 — a smarter multi-sensor wireless module
TDK Corporation announces market availability of the InvenSense SmartBug 2.0, an all-in-one multi-sensor wireless solution with new features for consumer and IoT applications. SmartBug 2.0 is a smart remote data-collection module for IoT, developed after the success of the original SmartBug in 2019. The SmartBug 2.0 is available in two versions – a standard version […]
