Murata today announced the launch of the GCE series of monolithic ceramic capacitors that are less prone to failure due to mechanical stress. With a soft termination of the capacitive element, the mechanical stress induced by board flexing or a wide variation of temperature is less likely to cause the capacitor body to crack.

Murata has announced the launch of the IRS-B series of dual and quad type surface mount pyro-electric infrared sensors. Believed to be not only the smallest PIR sensors in the world, but also the only surface mount devices available, the series are aimed at a broad range of energy saving applications in consumer appliances.

Murata announced today the launch of the DE6 series Type KJ ceramic capacitors specifically designed for automotive applications and certified to meet the demanding safety standards required in such operating environments. Believed to be the first manufacturer in the industry to have successfully commercialized ceramic capacitors destined for automotive applications and certified under the safety standards, the capacitors are coated with a new in...

Murata Manufacturing Co.,Ltd. is proud to announce that it has created a series of chip monolithic ceramic capacitors which feature metal pins and which are designed to be used in automotive electronic devices.

Murata today announced the GCJ series of monolithic ceramic capacitors designed to accommodate the bending, vibration and thermal conditions experienced in under-bonnet automotive applications.

Murata announced today that they have marked the shipment of over 30 million units of its ENC-03RC-10-R gyro sensor for radio-controlled helicopters. The ENC series of piezoelectric vibrating gyroscopes, initially designed for image stabilization in digital still and video cameras, have increasingly been in high demand to aid stable flight performance of indoor radio-controlled helicopters. The growth of the model helicopter application has rapid...

Murata manufacturing Co.,Ltd. announced the launch of the WIRELESSHD (WiHD) 2nd generation module, WHDM-T005/R006, which is adapted for a complete embedded solution to high-definition audio/visual (HD-A/V) electronics devices, such as Plasma Displays, LCD-TV, Projection DTV, A/V Receiver, and Blu-ray player, etc. for enabling the WiHD compliant wireless video-area network (WVAN).

Murata announces an addition to its XRCGB-M series of hybrid crystal resonators. The XRCGB26 device adds the nominal 26 MHz frequency to the comprehensive range of frequencies already supported by the XRCGB-M series.

Murata today announced the introduction of a series of capacitors specifically designed to provide DC smoothing and acoustic noise reduction in LED lighting applications. As the market for LED lighting has steadily grown customers have recognized that a capacitive DC bias, that results in less actual capacitive value, and a piezo-electronic phenomenon within capacitors has been the cause of light flickering and acoustic noise.

Murata has begun mass production of its new Micro DC-DC converter device series, which will reduce the board space used by buck converters in battery powered devices.

Murata will be exhibiting its innovative RFID solutions, featuring a live demonstration of the company's MAGICSTRAP UHF tag-IC module, at CeBIT 2011 in Hannover, Germany, 1-5 March 2011. Murata is located in the AutoID/RFID Solutions Park on the AIM booth, Hall 7 Stand D10. The demonstration will show how RFID can be easily integrated into any electronics product by using MAGICSTRAP®. The exhibit will also highlight how cost can be saved and val...

Murata has released two additions to its LQH series of wirewound power inductors that feature low profile, improved current saturation and low DC resistance. Both parts also feature full shielding to reduce magnetic flux leakage in order to enable low DC resistance and high inductance. These power inductors are ideal for power circuitry in audio-visual equipment including televisions, DVD players, etc. and a variety of other applications.

Murata has increased production capacity of its HiCap high capacitance range of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) as this series is replacing tantalum capacitors in increasing numbers of applications. MLCCs' excellent noise blocking performance at high frequency, lower impedance as well as lead time and price advantages mean they are more able to replace their tantalum counterparts.

Murata has introduced 13 new parts into its GCD series of MLSCs (multilayer series capacitors). This range features two capacitors in series in each package and is designed to reduce failure of electronic equipment caused by excessive bending and solder shock cracks in automotive environments.

Murata has increased the lineup of its industry-leading chip thermistor family by adding a new automotive grade series of compact NTC (negative temperature coefficient) chip thermistors. The NCP****0S** series features operating temperature between -40 and +150 degC and will be used in high temperature environments such as engine control circuitry.

Murata has launched a MEMS rate sensor (gyro) which features excellent performance characteristics for the automotive market. The device, part number MEV-50C-R, supports accurate dead-reckoning performance for car navigation devices, but is also aimed at GPS modules, satellite antennas and other applications such as toys, including for example a high performance radio control helicopter. This sensor features the second-generation of Murata's tech...

Murata has introduced an SMD version of its high rated current common mode choke coil family, raising the rated current from 3A to 10A while reducing their footprint by approximately half. Dimensions of the new components are 13.4mm (maximum) x 8.9mm x 6.6mm (typical).
