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 announce two series of EPCOS aluminum electrolytic capacitors in extremely compact snap-in designs. The dimensions of the new B43640* and B43644* series are 22 x 25 mm to 35 x 55 mm, depending on the type. Thus, both series are significantly more compact than previous series for identical rated voltage and capacitance values. Moreover, both series feature very high ripple current capability.

TDK has announced the new MLP1005M1R0D multilayer power inductor in case size IEC 1005. The new MLP series component measures just 1.0 mm x 0.5 mm x 0.7 mm, and therefore is the world's smallest multilayer power inductor. The footprint and the volume of the new inductor are about 60 percent smaller than existing products in the market.

TDK Corporation announces the extension of the TDK-Lambda GWS500 series power supplies with the addition of two low output voltage models. Combining the same high efficiency, high power density and low standby power characteristics as other models within the GWS500 series, the 5V and 7.5V models are well-suited for fitting into 1U enclosures.

TDK today announced the world’s smallest SMD pulse transformers for LAN applications. With dimensions of only 3.2 x 3.2 x 2.8 mm3, the new ALT3232M has 30 percent lower volume and footprint than previous products.

TDK Corporation announces that 600W models have been added to its TDK-Lambda Z+ Series of programmable DC power supplies. Complementing the Z+200, Z+400 and Z+800 ranges, these 600W programmable power supplies offer the same superior features and carry a 5-year warranty. Addressing the need for high quality bench-top power supplies for the R&D environment, the TDK-Lambda Z+600 range shares the same dimensions as the other Z+ ranges and thus offer...

TDK Corporation presents a new series of rugged EPCOS axial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitors for automotive electronics. These components are distinguished by their very high ripple current capability and vibration resistance. Thanks to the very low ESR values and a further reduction in internal thermal resistance, the self-heating of the new B41689* series is significantly lower. This allows the ripple current capability to be increased by ...

TDK Corporation has developed a miniaturized multilayer chip bead series in case size 0603 (EIA 0201) that is nearly 80 percent smaller in volume and 65 percent in area than existing MMZ1005-E types with comparable performance. The new MMZ0603-E series of multilayer chip beads combines compact dimensions of just 0.6 x 0.3 x 0.3 mm³ with excellent electrical characteristics.

TDK Corporation has expanded its leading portfolio of automotive-grade MLCCs with new mid-voltage types featuring C0G temperature characteristics and rated voltages from 100 V to 630 V. The new components in the CGA series offer capacitance values that are very high for C0G components.
