This is the industry’s highest capacitance* for a 100-V rated product in 3225 size and this temperature characteristic. 

TDK Corporation launches B58101A0851A000, the first in a new line of immersion temperature sensors (ITS), designed specifically for EV powertrain cooling applications. This highly responsive, fully sealed NTC thermistor is engineered to provide fast and precise temperature control, e.g., for oil-cooled systems. 

TDK Corporation announces the expansion of the ADL3225VF series (3.2 x 2.5 x 2.3 mm; L x W x T) of wire-wound inductors for automotive power-over-coax (PoC). Mass production of these new components began in March 2025.

TDK Corporation is excited to launch the TDK SensEI edgeRX, which represents a significant leap forward in industrial maintenance, bringing cutting-edge innovation to the forefront of machine health monitoring.

TDK Corporation announces that its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions net-zero targets are now verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). SBTi recognizes that TDK's long-term targets align with the objective of limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, consistent with the Paris Agreement.

TDK Corporation unveils the EPCOS EP9 series (ordering code: B82804E), which is more compact than the existing E10EM series of surface-mount transformers designed specifically for IGBT and FET gate driver circuits. Engineered for high performance in demanding e-mobility and industrial applications with 500 V system voltage, these components offer exceptional insulation, minimal coupling capacitance, and high thermal resilience. 

TDK Corporation announces the new FS160* series of its microPOL (μPOL) power modules. The FS160* series of μPOL DC-DC converters all offer full telemetry, provide increased performance, and are remarkable for extraordinary power density in the smallest sizes now in mass production.

TDK Corporation is set to present its latest technological advancements at embedded world 2025, scheduled from March 11 to 13 in Nuremberg, Germany. Visitors are invited to discover TDK’s extensive array of embedded solutions at booth 430 in hall 1. Experts from product marketing, R&D, and sales will be available to discuss the latest innovations.

TDK Corporation announces the X1 capacitors of the EPCOS B3291xH/J4 series for power line filtering of electromagnetic interferences (EMI) in demanding automotive and industrial applications with a rated AC voltage of up to 480 V. Applications that are exposed to harsh climatic conditions such as PV inverters and EV onboard chargers (OBCs) can benefit from the new X1 capacitors’ high resistance to high humidity environments. 

TDK Corporation has been recognized for its leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change and water security initiatives by the global environmental non-profit organization CDP, securing a place on its annual ‘A-List’. This is the first time that TDK achieved an “A” rank for climate change, and for five consecutive years for water security.

TDK Corporation announces the expansion of the ADL4532VK series (4.5 x 3.2 x 3.2 mm; L x W x T) of wire winding inductors for automotive power-over-coax (PoC). Mass production of these new components began in February 2025.

TDK Corporation announces the launch of the EPCOS B3292xM3/N3 series of X2 EMI suppression capacitors. These new components are 20% smaller than previous models and meet Grade III Test B standards for temperature, humidity, and bias (THB). Their compact size and enhanced durability suit space-constrained, high-humidity environments, especially for "across-the-line" applications in automotive and industrial settings.

TDK Corporation announces the L862 (B57862L) NTC thermistors with bendable wires and the L871 (B57871L) lead spacing NTC thermistors that can be used in a wide range of automotive and industrial applications. Both series are Pb-free and can measure temperatures between -40 °C and +155 °C with a tolerance of ±1% and ±3% respectively.  

TDK Corporation announces two new additions to its high-voltage contactor portfolio for harsh environments: the HVC43MC with integrated mirror contact and the HVC45 with enhanced short-circuit current handling capability. These new contactors for up to 1000 V (DC) enable reliable switching of lithium-ion batteries in traction applications, energy storage systems (ESS), and DC charging stations.

TDK Corporation launches the EPCOS SurfIND series, a new range of current-compensated ring core double chokes for high currents and surface mounting (ordering code: B82725S2*A/B). With SurfIND, customers who prefer reflow soldering (e.g. sandwich packages in telecom equipment, industrial drives, etc.) but need high-current common-mode chokes (usually large and heavy) can now get an SMD solution. 

TDK Corporation has expanded its CGA series for automotive and C series for commercial multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) to 10 nF at 1,250 V in 3225 size (3.2 x 2.5 x 2.5 mm – L x W x H), with C0G characteristics (Class I dielectric). This is the industry’s highest capacitance* for a 1,250-V rated product in 3225 size and this temperature characteristic.
