The introduction of the QM series of AC-DC power supplies announced by TDK Corporation; the first 1,200W to 1,500W rated modular series to have full MoPPs isolation, with the lowest acoustic noise available on the market at that power level.

Further expanding its CLF-NI-D series of rugged power inductors is TDK Corporation with its new types coming in three additional sizes: CLF5030NI-D with dimensions of 5.0x5.3x2.7 mm, CLF10060NI-D measuring 10.0x10.1x6.0mm and CLF12577NI-D at 12.5x12.8x7.7mm.

Two new series of robust EPCOS Aternating Current (AC) capacitors have been introduced by TDK Corporation. Both the cans and the tops of the components are constructed of aluminium, making them particularly robust. All capacitors in the B33331 and B33335 series are CE-compliant, have both VDE approval in accordance with EN/IEC 60252-1 Class A and UL approval.

Expanding the company's portfolio of EMC components for audio lines, TDK has announced the MAF1005G noise suppression filter measuring just 1.0x 0.5x0.5mm. The miniaturised audio line filter features a high attenuation of cellular bands from 700MHz to 2.5GHz and can suppress the spurious emissions from these bands by up to 50dB.

An EPCOS DC link capacitor that has been specifically designed for the HybridPACK 1-DC6 IGBT module from Infineon Technologies has been presented by TDK Corporation. The outstanding features of this component are the six busbar terminals with dimensions that are matched precisely to fit the IGBT module. This multiple contacting produces an excellent current capability while at the same time offering very low parasitics.

Based in Munich, Germany, TDKS’s wholly-owned subsidiary EPCOS, manufacturer of electronic components, modules and systems have signed a tender offer agreement; it has been announced by TDK and Tronics Microsystems. According to the terms EPCOS will launch a public tender offer for all publicly-held shares of Tronics for €13.20 per share.

The introduction of the KWS-A series of single output 5W to 25W encapsulated power supplies capable of operating in ambient temperatures of up to 85°C has been announced by TDK Corporation. With a Class II input, the products require no earth ground connection, making them suitable for use in a range of process control, broadcast, test & measurement and industrial equipment.

  A control unit which facilitates the intelligent coupling of three reactive power compensation systems; the new EPCOS VIP-3-TP from TDK Corporation.

TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the KMS-A series of single output, medically certified 15 - 60W encapsulated power supplies. With a Class II input, the products require no earth ground connection, making them suitable for use in a range of medical, dental and home healthcare. They are also suitable for broadcast, test & measurement and industrial equipment applications.

TDK Corporation presents the MAF1608G noise suppression filter for audio lines. When inserted in audio lines, the filter keeps THD+N of the audio signals to the world's lowest levels of 0%. At the same time the miniature component (1.6x0.8x0.8mm) features a high rated current of 1.6A and a low DC resistance of 0.06Ω.

TDK Corporation has extended its portfolio of EPCOS ERU SMT power inductors with the ERU19 choke series that comprises ten different types. The inductance values of the ERU chokes extend from 1.0 to 30µH and their saturation currents range from 10.1 to 43ADC.

TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the RFE2500 series of AC/DC power supplies. Rated at up to 2500W output power, the units are available in three output voltages, 12, 24 and 48V. Featuring screw terminal and bus-bar connections, this very compact series does not require an additional plug-in rack or backplane making it ideal for space-constrained industrial, communications and test & measurement applications.

TDK Corporation has expanded its CCT series of clamp AC current sensors with a 600A type. The lineup of TDK current sensors is now positioned to meet the high-current sensing needs of energy management systems (EMS) for buildings, factories, stores and communities.
