EPCOS
Capacitors, inductors, EMC ferrites, thermistors and circuit protection components
About the manufacturer
EPCOS is a historic electronic-components brand now developed within TDK Electronics. EPCOS AG was established in 1999 and, following integration with TDK, was renamed TDK Electronics AG in 2018. The EPCOS name became especially well known in passive components, EMC, circuit protection and sensor technologies.
The portfolio includes film and electrolytic capacitors, inductors, ferrite components, EMC filters, varistors, NTC/PTC thermistors, surge protection devices, transformers and components for power electronics. These products are available in versions intended for industrial, automotive, telecommunications and consumer applications.
EPCOS components are particularly important where designers need interference suppression, filtering, stable electrical characteristics, energy management and protection against surges or excessive inrush current.
Applications
EPCOS components are widely used in power, filtering and electronic-protection circuits:
• Switch-mode power supplies – capacitors, inductors and EMC filtering components.
• Industrial automation – filters, protection devices and passive components.
• Power engineering – power capacitors, compensation and surge-protection components.
• Automotive – thermistors, inductors and components for demanding operating conditions.
• LED lighting – capacitors and inrush-current limiting components.
• Telecommunications – supply filtering and interference suppression.
• Home appliances – interference-suppression components, thermistors and mains capacitors.
EPCOS products available from Maritex
The EPCOS range available from Maritex includes a broad selection of passive components and devices for filtering and circuit protection.
Available product groups include:
• Film capacitors.
• Axial chokes and inductive components.
• EMC interference-suppression components.
• Thermistors and protection devices.
• Components for power supplies and power electronics.
The range includes, among others, capacitors from the B32021/B32022/B32924 families and inductors such as B78108S1564J. Selection should consider rated voltage, capacitance or inductance, current, tolerance, operating temperature, pulse conditions and relevant EMC or safety requirements.
