Single component replaces multiple inductors in power-over-coaxial filter designs
TDK Corporation launches the ADL8030VA, an inductor designed for power-over-coaxial (PoC) applications. Due to its impedance characteristics over a wide frequency range, this component streamlines PoC filter design by requiring only one component instead of the conventional approach with two or more inductors. This reduces complexity and cost in driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and other automotive […]
Tab terminal relay delivers 20 A at 800 VDC with 0.9 W power consumption
FCL Components America, Inc., has released the FTR-E1J 20A, a tab terminal-type high voltage DC switching relay, based on its FTR-E1 series. It is screw mounted and does not use printed circuit boards. This new relay delivers 20A 800 VDC, 10A 1,000VDC higher voltage switching with no specific polarity requirements for the connection of load […]
3-terminal filter series offers 0.47 μF to 4.7 μF capacitance range with low ESL
TDK Corporation has expanded its YFF series of 3-terminal filters for automotive applications to include higher voltages up to 35 V and higher capacitances up to 4.7 µF. Such components are used to suppress voltage variation and high-frequency noise, which can cause system malfunctions. Mass production of the product series began in June 2025. With the miniaturization […]
