TDK's transparent conductive silver [Ag] alloy film (FleClear®) is a versatile material that has numerous use cases. Many of these uses require making direct electrical contact to the film's low resistance conductive surface in order to adequately perform the targeted applications. The following Application Note provides an overview of FleClear®, a step-by-step procedure of attaching an metal electrode, a list of needed equipment, along with the recommended materials to attach copper bus bars to the conductive surface. Additionally, where important, the suppliers and the respective numbers, are also listed..

Whether for smartphones, vehicles, industrial controls, home appliances or gaming consoles – the future belongs to piezo-based solutions with haptic feedback. TDK offers a unique portfolio of products that are suitable for every imaginable haptic application.

Surface treatment is indispensable for the secure bonding of plastic parts. Activation with cold plasma is an equally simple yet elegant solution. Relyon Plasma, a subsidiary of TDK Electronics, offers the piezobrush® PZ2 – a handy plasma source based on the TDK CeraPlas™ piezo plasma generator.

From simple gadgets to complex devices for the industrial IoT – they all require compact, reliable and extremely safe power supplies. CeraCharge™, the world’s first rechargeable solid-state SMD battery, is a new technology that meets all these demands.

High-power loads are a major stress factor when fuses and components are switched on, as they cause very high currents to flow. To avoid this, TDK offers ceramic EPCOS inrush current limiters, based on NTC and PTC thermistors – a strong duo when used in combination.
