Last month, Kyocera and Maxell started running test operations installing power modules using Maxell’s all‑solid‑state battery “PSB401010H” in industrial robots and controllers at Kyocera’s Kagoshima Sendai Plant, one of its semiconductor ceramic package production sites. The ceramic‑packaged all‑solid‑state batteries produced by Maxell feature high reliability, and their exterior housings adopt ceramic packages manufactured by Kyocera. With superior heat resistance and ...

Kyocera AVX has added stand-off legs to surface-mount multi-layer ceramic capacitors to improve bending resilience and suppress thermally-induced weld cracking. Operation is over -55 to +125°C. “KGP Series stacked MLCCs are engineered to optimise the performance of high-frequency applications in the industrial, alternative energy and down-hole oil and gas industries,” according to the company. Both J (pictured) and L style ...

Kyocera AVX is once again stacking its ceramic capacitors to increase CV product in a small footprint, this time for high reliability applications. ‘DSCC 25007 Mini BME Stacks’ combine multiple 2220-size capacitors with X7R characteristics (from its MIL-PRF-32535 range) using a legged lead-frame, have base metal electrodes, and are 100% Group A tested. 100% Group A and Group B testing ...

Kyocera has brought out a series of hermaphroditic wire-to-wire (WTW) and wire-to-board (WTB) connectors for lighting and industrial applications. The  9288-000 Series  two-piece connectors facilitate WTW termination with two identical mating halves, which simplifies BOMs, and WTB termination with one those halves and an SMT version. Both halves of the 9288-000 Series hermaphroditic connectors feature orange or white glass-filled PBT ...

Kyocera is paying industrial single-pair Ethernet some attention with connectors for T1 installations. T1 Ethernet can transmit power and 1Gbit/s data over a single pair cable up to 40m long. “Traditional RJ45 Ethernet connectors require two wire pairs for 100Mbit/s Fast Ethernet and four wire pairs for Gigabit Ethernet, and don’t provide a power supply,” according to the Kyocera. “They ...

Kyocera has brought out a line of integrated thin film (ITF) hybrid couplers for high-frequency wireless systems in industrial, automotive, telecommunications, and telemetry applications. Hybrid couplers are special four-port directional couplers that split input signals into two equal-amplitude 3dB outputs whose phases are shifted by 90°. Many also support performance monitoring and inject signals without interrupting the original signal. The ...

Kyocera is now offering the production technology “Ceramic Additive Manufacturing” for customers in Europe. Using this method, it is possible to manufacture products with complex geometries and almost any type of customized shape. In addition, prototypes can be created very quickly, allowing production volumes of thousands of units per week to be reached in a short period of time. Kyocera’s ...

Richardson RFPD is aiming at hybrid circuits by stocking a range of wire-bondable top-contact 0202 resistors from Kyocera AVX. Measuring 0.51 x 0.51mm, members of the WBR series are rated at 250mW and up to 10GHz. Operation is over -55 to +125ºC, and they have a temperature coefficient of +/-150ppm/°C. 23 values are being offered, from the lowest at 7.5Ω ...

Just when you thought there was nothing new in manual wire splicing connectors, Kyocera has announced something else to replace crimps and solder for joining them. “9179-000 Series IDC Splice Connectors are packed with features designed to make them an attractive alternative to traditional splicing,” according to the company. “They establish cold-welded, gas-tight connections and have been proven to withstand ...

Kyocera AVX has released low-ESR C0G/NP0 dielectric RF MLCCs (multi-layer ceramic chip capacitors) “inspired by communications market demand for smaller RF capacitors that deliver repeatable performance”, it said. Called KGU, they come in values from 0.1 to 100pF with tolerances as low as ±0.05pF. They come in four chip sizes: 01005, 0402, 0603 or 0805 (EIA). Class I C0G, also ...
