Robust Industrial Grade X2 Capacitors With a Rated Voltage of  350 V AC

TDK Corp. presents a new series of robust EPCOS MKP X2 capacitors for EMI suppression. Compared with conventional X2 capacitors designed for rated voltages of 305 V AC, these new components offer a higher rated voltage of 350 V AC. This makes them suitable for EMI suppression in input filters – specifically for applications on the North American market – and output filters of photovoltaic inverters.

Molex and TE Connectivity Collaborate on Next-Gen Data Communications Electronic Products

Molex LLC and TE Connectivity (TE) will collaborate on the launch and promotion of select new connector and cable assembly products that enable the growing number of high-speed applications required as data centers evolve with hyperscale models and increased virtualization. The DSA will support today’s data speeds and up to 56 Gbps and beyond. The scope of the agreement includes next-generation connector products, and the DSA is intended to build on the successful history with standard second source agreements for products such as: zSFP+ interconnects, zQSFP+ interconnects, CDFP interconnects, microQSFP interconnects, and Nano-Pitch I/O interconnects.
