The PLE metal series power inductors are high-efficiency, ultra-compact components with low leakage magnetic flux that are effective when operating with small batteries installed in wearable devices. By using TDK original structural designs and newly developed materials as well as thin-film processes, rated current of 500 mA with high impedance of 2.2 μH is achieved in a component with a size of L: 1.0 × W: 0.6 × H: 0.7 mm.

ThermoFuse® Varistors are used for overvoltage protection with an additional thermal element as safety feature.
Over the last years the fail safe functions got more popular and as a result the variety of thermally protect varistors increased on the market which resulted in many designs for different sizes and surge capabilities.
This article will show the benefits and features of TDK ThermoFuse® Varistor vs Standard Varistors.

In conjunction with advances in automotive technology, it is become necessary to quickly convey large volumes of data, and increasing the speeds of automotive networks has become increasingly important. And in conjunction with increases in the communication speeds of automotive networks, signal quality and EMCcountermeasures have become increasingly important.As a result, it is necessary to select common mode filters/chokesthat comply with the OPEN Alliance standards.This document describes TDK's ACT1210L series of common mode filter/choke for automotive Ethernet use.
