Electronic component maker KYOCERA AVX showed its range of e-mobility products at last week’s Electronica trade show in Munich.

Members of the company’s European sales, marketing and field application engineering teams showed various components engineered to enable e-mobility applications and the vision for a carbon-neutral future based on clean, renewable energy.

The exhibit also featured products for use in automotive, transportation and communications applications. Featured applications included electric drive trains, wireless battery management systems (BMS), automated driver assistance systems (ADAS), tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), telematic control units (TCUs), and in-vehicle communications, radar, lidar, fleet tracking and smart entry systems.

Featured products included:

• Multilayer ceramic capacitors (www.kyocera-avx.com/products/ceramic-capacitors) that exhibit low parasitics, EMI filtering capabilities, high capacitance values, and various voltage ratings over a wide temperature range and are available in chip, leaded and stacked configurations in addition to unique geometries.
• Tantalum capacitors (www.kyocera-avx.com/products/tantalum), including the smallest case size, highest temperature and lowest DCL MnO₂ solid tantalum technologies available on the market.
• Conductive, low-profile, lead- and halogen-free solid electrolytic polymer capacitors (www.kyocera-avx.com/products/polymer) that exhibit stable, high capacitance, low-ESR performance and a benign failure mode under recommended use conditions.
• Sensing and control products that make engines more efficient, emissions cleaner and cars safer. They are designed and produced according to the requirements of the automotive industry.
• Connectors (www.kyocera-avx.com/products/connectors) based on industry-proven contact technology to provide robust, performance-driven options in harsh environments, including dual-entry card-edge connectors, which also feature the company’s lowest above-board height profile.
• Crystal devices (www.kyocera-avx.com/products/crystal-devices), including crystal units and crystal oscillators engineered to use the full capability of quartz crystals and optimised to support the continued evolution of IoT applications, including low-ESR and temperature-stable CT2016RS (ele.kyocera.com/en/technical/xtal_ct2016ra) series in-vehicle crystal units with thermistors for smart entry systems and compact, high-frequency, and noise-resistant differential output oscillators for ADAS (ele.kyocera.com/en/technical/xtal_autoclockdiff).
• Surface-mount surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices (www.kyocera-avx.com/products/saw-devices) based on simulation and fine processing technologies, including SAW filters to allow or prevent specific frequencies from passing through an electrical circuit.
• RF and microwave components (www.kyocera-avx.com/products/rfmicrowave), extending from antennas, thin-film capacitors, single-layer capacitors, ultra-broadband capacitors, crossovers, diplexers, high-directivity directional couplers, and fuses, including Accu-Guard II low-current fuses, which offer the lowest current ratings in compact, LGA-terminated packages. There were also inductors, low-pass and band-pass filters, and RF and microwave ceramic capacitors, including miniature (01005–0805) KGU series C0G (NP0) ultra-low ESR, high-self-resonant frequency capacitors for communications applications.
• High-reliability standard and ultra-small chip antennas (www.kyocera-avx.com/products/antennas) tested to AEC-Q200 requirements, including A-Series all-in-one (LTE, GNAA and NTN) embedded automotive broadband antennas and 2.4GHz automotive corner chip antennas.
• Low-, medium- and high-power dry and oil-impregnated film capacitors (www.kyocera-avx.com/products/film-capacitors) based on polyester and polypropylene dielectrics that exhibit controlled self-healing capabilities, are engineered for power electronics applications rated for 75V to 100kV, and are for applications ranging from DC filtering and semiconductor protection and tuning to discharge and high energy storage.
• Supercapacitors (www.kyocera-avx.com/products/supercapacitors) or double-layer capacitors that provide a combination of characteristics, including high pulse power and capacitance densities.
