With TDK solutions already implemented across multiple industrial automation disciplines, this ebook provides insights into various vital considerations for a wide range of automation activities, from simple voltage and current measurements to complex navigation signal analysis and system diagnostics. The ebook highlights many of the TDK products that help overcome these challenges:

The ERUC23 SMT flat wire coupled inductors feature low-loss ferrite, high saturation currents, and low DC resistance. They offer a self-guided construction with flat wire winding and lead-free tinned terminals for hybrid converters from 48V input to 12V output, as well as two-phase buck, boost, and buck-boost converters. The ERUC23 inductors also provide reduced ripple with improved efficiency in a compact package. The ERUC23 series is RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 certified.

The B43659 ultra-compact push-in capacitors offer high reliability and high ripple current capability for power supplies, frequency converters, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), medical devices, and solar inverters. These extremely high CV products incorporate push-in solder pins, an aluminum housing, and two- and three-terminal versions to ensure proper installation. The B43659 series is RoHS compliant and offers a voltage rating of 450 V DC and a capacitance range of 140 µF to 1030 µF with a tolerance of ±20%, operating in a temperature range of -40 to +105 °C.

EPCOS/TDK's PiezoHapt™ and PowerHap™ actuators are ideal for providing haptic feedback to user actions on smartphones and touchscreens, vehicle navigation systems, controllers, household appliances, industrial equipment, and medical devices. PiezoHapt actuators consist of a vibration unit with a multi-layer piezoelectric element and a vibration plate, while the PowerHap version features multi-layer piezoelectric plates with internal copper electrodes. These devices are RoHS compliant and have an operating temperature range of -10 to +60 °C or -40 to +85 °C.

FLECLAR Ag-stacked film sheets feature a thin, transparent, conductive Ag alloy layer deposited onto a film substrate, ideal for light-control windows (smart windows) and organic photovoltaics (OPV), flexible displays and lighting, or transparent electrodes for wearable devices.
