A new series of common-mode chokes for automotive Ethernet have today been presented by TDK. Featuring the world’s best common-mode noise suppression, the new ACT45L series has a footprint of just 4.5 mm x 3.2 mm and an insertion height of just 2.8 mm. Fulfilling the standard’s stiffest requirements, the miniaturized ACT45L series is the world’s smallest common-mode choke for automotive Ethernet.

The world's smallest with compact dimensions of just 3.2 mm x 2.5 mm x 2.4 mm, TDK introduce the new ACT1210 series of common-mode chokes for both CAN and FlexRay bus systems. Operating over a wide temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C, the ACT1210 series chokes are qualified to AEC-Q200, making them ideal for use under severe conditions such as those encountered in the engine compartment of a vehicle.

TDK introduce a new series of multilayer varistors in the CeraDiode family. In an LGA package measuring just 0.47 mm x 0.47 mm x 0.1 mm, this family includes the most compact, flattest and most rugged varistor for the ESD protection of mobile equipment. Enabling production of varistors with extremely reliable ESD protection that are about 80% smaller than their predecessors, the new SMD protection components are available in EIA case sizes of 040...

TDK Corporation annonce le lancement de la série d'unités d'alimentation en courant alternatif/continu haute compacité TDK-Lambda CUS250LD. Ces blocs d'alimentation mono-sortie offrent une puissance de sortie de 250 W avec refroidissement par convection ; comme elle permet de se passer de ventilateurs, cette conception élimine les besoins en entretien associés et réduit le bruit acoustique et le...

TDK Corporation presents a new product group of EPCOS standard 3-phase line reactors for frequency converters with input rectifier stages. Seven new types in the B86305L* series cover a broad current range from 4 A to 230 A. These line reactors are designed for a rated voltage of 520 V AC and, depending on the type, for a short-circuit voltage of 5 percent to 6 percent. They are thus able to efficiently suppress any EMI caused by t...

All modern power supplies are of the switched-mode type, as these are smaller and more efficient than the old linear types. Switched-mode supplies, however, generate electromagnetic interference, both conducted and radiated, and require the incorporation of EMI filters.

TDK Corporation presents the new CGA3EA series of automotive grade MLCCs that meet the ESD immunity requirements according to the IEC 61000-4-2 standard. The new components are available in package size 1608 (EIA 0603) and offer rated capacitances ranging from 1 nF to 10 nF and a rated voltage of 100 V. The new series comprises two lineups of MLCCs with different thermal characteristics: C0G components with a temperature range of -55°C to +12...

TDK introduces a new series of EPCOS EMC filters. The B84142Ax166 series of 2-line filters features types designed for rated currents of 10 A, 16 A, and 30 A at a rated voltage of 250 V AC (50/60 Hz). A particular feature is their very compact size: the 10 A and 16 A types measure only 84.5 mm x 52 mm x 38 mm, and the 30 A version only 130 mm x 84 mm x 69 mm. This permits mounting even when space is very limited.

TDK Corporation has extended its MMZ portfolio of Gigaspira beads with the MMZ1005-V series, which features the world’s highest* impedance peak frequency in the 2.5 GHz range. The new EMC components enable, for the first time, simple and effective noise suppression of high-frequency signals above 2 GHz, as used for WLAN and LTE, for example. The new Gigaspira beads offer a high impedance of up to 3000 Ω at 2.5 GHz.
