Brake calipers are one of the most important active elements of the brake system of a commercial vehicle. The heaviest vehicles use pneumatic brake calipers, whereas the lightest ones use hydraulic brake calipers.
TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) has developed the KCZ1210DH series common-mode filters for automotive applications. This series provides a noise control function for high-speed differential transmission signal lines for automobiles and is available in 1210 case size (1.25 x 1.0 x 0.5 mm). Mass-production began in February 2022.
Murata has set a new capacitor performance benchmark with the introduction of its NFM15HC435D0E3. This is the world’s first automotive-grade three-terminal multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) to provide a capacitance of 4.3 μF in a 0402 inch (1.0 x 0.5 mm) size. As a result, superior power decoupling and noise removal can be brought to automobile designs in which high-performance processors are being employed - such as for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving functions.
Designed to be capable of validating the technologies needed to enable megatrends of electrification, autonomy, driver assistance as well as HMI and vehicle dynamics, Ansible Motion has revealed full details of the production Delta series S3 Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) simulator.
