➀ TDK has expanded its ADL3225VF series of wire-wound inductors for automotive power-over-coax (PoC) applications, supporting up to 1600 mA. These inductors are designed to simplify traditional automotive camera setups by using a single coaxial cable for both power and data transmission, reducing cabling and improving fuel efficiency.
➁ The new series reduces the mounting area by about 45% compared to the conventional ADL3225VM-2R2M while increasing the rated current by approximately 20%. This improvement is achieved through proprietary materials and structural design enhancements.
➂ Key features include compatibility with high currents, ensuring high impedance over a wide frequency range, and suitability for high-temperature environments, with an operating range of -55°C to +155°C.
➀ The electronic consumer demand has seen a recovery after several quarters of adjustment, leading to a resurgence in the passive component market.
➁ Kemet's operations manager Wang Danru noted that the market for multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) has shown signs of recovery and price pressure has eased.
➂ Murata Manufacturing Co. and TDK Corporation, two major Japanese passive component manufacturers, have also seen an increase in orders.
➀ TDK has reduced its 500V gate drive transformers to 11 x 13mm and 11mm high, smaller than its existing E10EM series.
➁ The new EP9 series parts are built on a MnZn ferrite core with surface-mount L-pin construction.
➂ They have a creepage and clearance of 5mm, peak withstand voltage of 2.5kVac 50Hz, and coupling capacitance of only 2pF.
➀ Element14 and TDK have launched a design challenge;
➁ Participants are to integrate TDK USSM Plus-FS sensors into a project;
➂ Selected applicants will receive an evaluation kit from TDK;
➃ The challenge is open until 28 March, with a project deadline of 16 June;
➄ The grand prize includes an Apple iPad Pro and an iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner.
➀ TDK Corporation has introduced two new NTC thermistor series for automotive and industrial applications, including the L862 (B57862L) with bendable wires and the L871 (B57871L) with fixed lead spacing.
➁ These thermistors are Pb-free, have a wide temperature range (-40 °C to +155 °C), and offer various resistance options from 1 kΩ to 100 kΩ.
➂ The thermistors are suitable for automotive and industrial manufacturers, battery system designers, energy storage companies, drone manufacturers, and engineers developing temperature-sensitive applications.
TDK has developed inductors for automotive power-over-coax applications up to 1.6A. These inductors are an expansion of the 4.5 x 3.2 x 3.2mm ADL4532VK series and are rated for use across -55 to +155°C. They are designed for power-over-coax applications that require data to be separated from power and offer filtering capabilities.
According to the company, the series delivers high impedance across a frequency range from tens of megahertz to hundreds of megahertz.
Some key specifications include 3μH inductance, 125mΩ DC resistance, and the ability to handle up to 2.1A typical current at 25°C.
