The demand for higher data rates at the edge has increased significantly. The adoption of cameras and video system has increased driven by the reduced footstep of these systems and their usage for safety, security and quality applications. Other systems like high-speed data logging devices, embedded web servers and monitoring systems require a timely data transmission.
In addition, the number of nodes in networks are constantly increasing therefore the desire to use an existing ecosystem is strong. Ethernet protocol and security layers as well as well-known installation, maintenance and management processes result in a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and a better Return on Investment (ROI) in the Network.
Industrial applications focus on a network speed of 10 Mbps as this should address the data rate and reach for most of the existing fieldbus applications. TDK offers an extensive lineup of various inductors for use in 10Base-T1L applications including common-mode chokes (CMCs), isolation inductors (Isolated Coupled Inductors) and differential mode inductors (DMIs).

The high precision of piezoresistive sensors and their ability to measure absolute, gauge and differential pressure make them suitable for a wide range of applications in the increasingly demanding requirements for industrial and automotive segment. Core component of each pressure sensor is the sensing element or the so-called DIE, which converts the pressure into an electrical output.

The high precision of piezoresistive pressure sensors and their possible customization to specific requirements allow their versatile use in a wide range of applications.
Pressure sensors supply measured data for industrial equipment and systems in order to control and diagnose hydraulically or pneumatically operated machines, for instance. This makes them key components in measurement and control technology.
The portfolio of pressure sensors has been developed with a strong focus on increased sensitivity and high performance with long-term stability. In addition, particular attention is paid to specific features for media resistance and ease of processing.

TDK Corporation (TSE: 6762) presents the AVD series of new pressure transmitters, distinguishable by their extremely low-profile design and high precision. The transmitters with B58621V* ordering codes are available in three versions for different pressure measurement ranges including 0 to 16 mbar, 0 to 100 mbar, and 0 to 7 bar.

TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) presents the new B78416A* series of compact EPCOS transformers with EP 6 cores for ultrasonic applications. The series comprises five types with transformation ratios between 1:1:8.42 and 1:1:15. Depending on the type, the new SMD-version transformers offer inductance values between 3 mH and 5 mH and are suitable for frequencies between 52 kHz and 300 kHz. The components are compliant with AEC-Q200, feature highly compact dimensions of just 9.0 x 7.6 x 7.1 mm and are magnetically shielded for better interference suppression. The permissible temperature range lies between -40 °C and +125 °C.

This guide introduces CNA series – low-resistance soft termination products, which achieves both high reliability and low resistance.

TDK Corporation (TSE: 6762) has extended its range of bipolar DC high-voltage contactors to include the new HVC43 (B88269X3**0C011) series. These products complete the existing range by offering continuous currents from 150 A DC to 250 A DC and operating voltages of up to 1000 V DC. The contactors are available in 12 V or 24 V coils with a power consumption of 6 W.

TDK Corporation (TSE: 6762) presents with the B40640B* and B40740B* series hybrid polymer capacitors with a very high ripple current capability increased by up to 29 per cent compared to preceding types. The ripple current capability is now up to 35 A (20 kHz, 125 °C). The new types are designed for a rated voltage of 63 V, cover a capacitance range from 390 µF to 720 µF, and offer an extremely low ESR value. For example, with a cup size of 16 mm x 30 mm (D x H) and an ambient temperature of 20 °C, an ESR of 3.9 mΩ at 20 kHz can be achieved. Even at an operating temperature of -40 °C, the ESR is just 5.4 mΩ.

TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) presents the new L860 NTC thermistor chip which can be directly embedded into power modules and used within sintering and AI-heavy wire bonding. Its characteristics correspond to the common MELF-R/T curve with R100 of 493 Ω. The lead-free chip with ordering code B57860L0522J500 is designed for a wide temperature range of
-55 °C to +175 °C, has dimensions of 1.6 x 1.6 x 0.5 mm.

In e-mobility, the temperature of all system units needs to be constantly monitored. The high currents result in losses with a corresponding generation of heat arising, in particular, at contacts. TDK has now developed a special-purpose high-voltage resistant temperature sensor for connectors.
