TDK Corporation has introduced a thin pattern coil to support the wireless charging of next generation mobile devices. Industry-leading 0.76 ㎜ thickness achieved via unique pattern coil technology.

TDK Corporation presents three new B8272* series of compact EPCOS SMT common-mode chokes specially developed for low-voltage applications. They sustain voltages of up to 48 V AC (50/60 Hz) and 80 V DC, and continuous currents between 1.8 A and 19 A at an ambient temperature of 40 °C. The new series cover a range of inductance values between 0.59 mH and 5.6 mH.

TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the TDK-Lambda brand PXD40 and PXD60 series of 40 and 60W DC-DC converters. Packaged in the industry-standard 2” x 1” footprint, the units can operate over a wide 4:1 input range, accepting either a 9 to 36Vdc or 18 to 75Vdc input. Operation from 12V and 24V or 24V and 48V supply voltages reduces inventory carrying costs and improves part availability.

TDK Corporation has developed the new TFM201208BLE series of inductors optimized for space-constrained smartphone power circuits. These are available in 0.24, 0.33 and 0.47 µH versions. Mass production will begin in June 2022.

TDK Corporation announced today that subsidiary TDK Ventures, Inc. has invested in wireless communications disruptor XCOM Labs to expedite the development of their 5G and wireless communications solutions, which emphasize bandwidth capacity, latency reduction/elimination, and compute load balancing.

TDK Corporation introduces PhaseCap^® Energy Plus, two new series of EPCOS PFC capacitors. The B25674C* series is gas-impregnated and covers a voltage range from 230 V AC to 690 V AC and offers compensation ratings from 5 kvar to 33.1 kvar, depending on the type. The B25675C* series capacitors are impregnated with a biodegradable resin and are rated for voltages from 230 V AC to 1000 V AC, with compensation ratings of up to 60 kvar.

At COP26 (the 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) held in 2021, TDK was a featured speaker at an off-site session organized by Hitachi, Ltd. about its procurement partners. There, TDK presented its ongoing initiatives to contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions in its supply chain.
