TDK Corporation presents a new generation of the EPCOS CeraLink, a highly compact solution for the snubber and DC links of fast-switching converters based on SiC and GaN semiconductors. These new capacitors are based on the ceramic material PLZT (lead lanthanum zirconate titanate). In contrast to conventional ceramic capacitors, CeraLink has its maximum capacitance at the application voltage, and this even increases proportionately to the share o...

TDK Corporation presents the EPCOS LeaXield active filter module – a completely new solution for the minimization of earth leakage currents in power drive systems with frequency converters. Leakage current can cause RCDs (residual current device) to trip. In some applications this means that RCDs with low thresholds such as 30 mA cannot be used, or only with substantial additional expense. The LeaXield active filter module is connected betw...

Featuring a footprint of only 2.9x 2.3mm and an insertion height of 1mm, the B30000P80 series of ultra-compact EPCOS µDC/DC converters has been released by TDK. A 6MHz power switch, which is claimed to save up to 35% of space, is embedded in the miniature PCB. The B30000P80 series is comprised of eight µDC/DC converters, which are designed for an input voltage range of 2.2 and 5.5VDC and offer output voltages from 1.10-2.80VDC.

  Designed for automotive electronics, two SMT current sense transformers have been introduced by TDK. Based on an EP7 ferrite core, the B78417A2185A003 is designed to measure pulse currents of up to 20A. DC resistance is 1.3mΩ on the primary side and 3.7Ω on the secondary side.

Now claiming to offer the industry’s broadest portfolio of NP0 products in terms of voltage range and capacitance range, TDK has expanded its CGA series of automotive-grade MLCCs based on NP0 ceramics. The devices, which are rated from 250 to 630V, feature a temperature coefficient of 0 and a tolerance of ±30ppm/K up to +150°C.

Featuring active PFC which meets EN/IEC61000-3-2, 12 and 15V single output power supplies have been released by TDK. The models, which operate from a universal input of 85-265VAC, are additions to the company’s ZWS300BAF series of power supplies. Providing a reliable solution, the power supplies have a 10-year E-cap lifetime.

  Suited for converters and power supplies for use in industrial electronics, TDK has introduced a series of EPCOS snap-in aluminium electrolytic capacitors. The B43642* series devices feature a ripple current capability that is up to 25% higher than that of previous EPCOS series.

The LBC+ series of RF chokes, suitable for currents of up to 4450mA at saturation currents of up to 7700mA, has been released by TDK. According to the company, this is an increase of up to 80% compared to previous versions. The chokes, which provide inductance values from 1.0 to 470µH, are manufactured in both axial and radial types.

Optimising power quality, the EPCOS PQSine series of active harmonic filters has been introduced by TDK. The filters are designed for 3-phase networks, with and without neutral conductors, at voltages from 200 to 480VAC and 50/60Hz. Capable of analysing and neutralising harmonics up to the 50th order, the filters are available in steps of 60A up to a maximum rated current of 600A.

Preventing harmonic effects from impairing GPS performance in smartphones, the R159 and D5107 FEMs have been unveiled by TDK. Claimed to be best-in-class extractors, the devices enable the coexistence of cellular, WLAN, Bluetooth and satellite navigation services on one antenna.

Enabling the coexistence of cellular, WLAN, Bluetooth and satellite navigation services on the same antenna, TDK has claimed that the B8831 WLAN-Bluetooth filter offers best-in-class performance and size. The device achieves a much better Q factor than existing components and features a significantly lower insertion loss of only 1.1dB and high out-of-band selectivity.

A series of 3-terminal feedthrough filters, designed to meet automotive demands for EMC components in emerging safety and infotainment applications, has been introduced by TDK Corporation. Available in case sizes EIA 0603 to EIA 1206, the filters have rated capacitance values ranging from 22pF to 1μF and rated voltages from 10V to 100V. 

The DC Bias Model is the latest addition to TDK's portfolio of technical support tools. The tool allows designers to simulate DC bias characteristics of MLCCs, even when the DC bias applied to the MLCCs varies. Due to the company's advanced electronic component model, the capacitance in the simulation changes dynamically with a changing DC bias voltage - an 'industry first' according to TDK.

A revised data book for EPCOS EMC filters has been published by TDK. This covers the range of filter solutions for applications in industrial electronics, telecommunications and data technology. Frequency converter solutions such as power chokes, output chokes and filters are covered in particular detail.

TDK has introduced the BR7000-I-TH and BR7000-I-TH/S485 power factor controllers. The BR7000-I-TH offers 12 relay outputs for capacitor contactors and 12 transistor outputs for thyristor modules and the BR7000-I-TH/S485 features an additional RS485 bus interface that allows up to another 32 EPCOS TSM-LC-S thyristor modules to be controlled. This bus interface also enables bidirectional communication with the thyristor modules.

A major new section of the global group website, TDK announces that its 'Product Center' serves as the single point of access to all product-related information for all three product brands of the TDK Group: TDK, EPCOS and TDK-Lambda. Available in English, Chinese and Japanese, its centrepiece is the powerful search tool that allows users to easily find any of the over 80,000 products in the database.
