TDK Developing Technologies: "Development of optical components and modules designed for next generation optical communication/optical transmission systems" has been released
 
 
 

As seen in the strategies such as "Industry 4.0" from Germany and "Society 5.0" from Japan, the world is proactively moving forward to create new manufacturing approaches, new services, and new values using the technologies including IoT, M2M, AI, and VR. An ultra-smart society in which everything is connected via the Internet or sensor technologies is waiting for you in the near future.

TDK develops not only material technology as its core technology, but also thin-film process technology, wafer processing technology, and multilayer technology for manufacturing HDD heads, DVDs, BDs, and so on. Making full use of these technologies, TDK has developed various components for optical communication and delivered millions of optical components and devices for construction of Fiber to the Home (FTTH).

Furthermore, with the advantage of having both electronics and optics technologies, TDK has been working on miniaturization and modularization of key devices used for branch sections of optical communication networks. This article introduces the latest achievement of TDK through such efforts; the "LN thin-film" that opens up new application possibilities of LN (LiNbO3: Lithium Niobate) materials.

Application note "How to Use ESD/surge Protection Devices : Disk Varistors" has been released
 

Varistors can be used as suppressors to protect devices and circuits from transient abnormal voltages including an ESD (electrostatic discharge) and a lightning surge.
For protection from a relatively large surge current (100A to 25kA), leaded disk varistors and SMD disk varistors are suitable. For protection from a larger surge current (approximately 25kA or more), block varistors, and strap varistors are suitable.
This article describes surge protection device applications for LED lighting system, inductive loads such as motors, motor with an electromagnetic brake, SSR (solid-state relay), load dump and field decay, joint boxes and power conditioners of solar power generation systems, important devices using a lightning transformer, and high-energy surge in industrial devices.

FA Systems: "Product Lineup Brochure" has been released
 

The level of cleanliness required for manufacturing processes such as semiconductor facilities and flip chip mounters is ever rising. TDK obtained the particle score which was the world's best ever recorded level in a PWP test. We manufacture and sell the next generation mini-environment systems equipped with the FOUP load port compatible with every company's 300-mm FOUP with no adjustment, enabled by the air cushion system, as well as with an automatic nitrogen purge. In addition, we manufacture and sell flip chip mounting systems which are highly reliable, space saving, and economically priced. TDK, the supplier of electronic components, brings these systems to you after thoroughly evaluating the needs at production sites from the user's perspective.
