TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) presents a demo kit (ordering code: Z25000Z2910Z001Z21) for the mechanically decoupled ultrasonic sensor module USSM1.0 PLUS-FS (ordering code: B59110W2111W032). This component can be used for obstacle detection and distance measurement under difficult environmental conditions including full sunlight and translucent target objects in autonomous mobile robots (AMR) or autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs).
Global warming is currently an issue of worldwide concern. CO₂ (carbon dioxide) not only contributes to this problem but also has a significant impact on our health. In the pursuit of improving air quality in various environments, such as homes, offices, and hospitals, there is an escalating demand for sensors capable of detecting CO₂ and various other gases. TDK is developing a CO₂ gas sensor that is significantly smaller in size than previous sensors and consumes less power.
TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) presents the new T850 SMT NTC sensor (B57850T0103*) for measuring surface temperatures. It combines high humidity resistance with fast response time due to excellent thermal coupling to the target. The sensor is suitable for harsh environments with temperatures from -40 °C to +150 °C and is waterproof for up to 500 hours. In addition, the sensor, with its aluminum oxide ceramic surface, offers a high dielectric strength of 2500 V AC for 60 s.
Applications & Cases
The technology that delivers the metaverse will build on the technology for virtual reality, using more sensors, and more different kinds of sensors. TDK has one of the richest sensor portfolios in the industry, extensive software expertise, and excels at sensor fusion.
NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistors are thermally sensitive semiconductor resistors which show a decrease in resistance as temperature increases, and its rate of change is extremely large.
