July 16, 2013

TDK Corporation has significantly enhanced and completely redesigned its global website for TDK brand inductors. The new website, which is available in English, Japanese and Chinese, offers user-friendly tools to quickly and easily find the inductive components that perfectly meet specific requirements. 

The concept of the new inductors website is similar to that of TDK’s MLCC website that was launched in January 2013. As the world’s leading manufacturer of inductors, TDK aims to provide the industry’s best tools and services as well as updated product information to its customers globally. The new website can be found under http://product.tdk.com/inductor/ind/en.

Following the establishment of the new websites for MLCCs and inductors, TDK will introduce a redesigned website for EMC components.

Main features and benefits 
•	Enhanced searches by characteristics
Several parameters, such as format, current rating, DC superposition characteristics, losses in switching circuits (such as core loss etc.) can be specified, allowing exact searches for products that fit the specific circuit requirements. 

•	Multiple part number searches
The new site can search up to 50 part numbers simultaneously. Lists from spreadsheets or text documents can be entered by simple copy and paste. 

•	Powerful cross reference search
Design engineers can find suitable TDK products that correspond to competitor products. Here, too, the tool can search up to 50 part numbers at once. 

•	Comparison of products
The basic technical data for up to five products can be compared in tabular form with interactive graphs for further characteristics. The results of the comparison can be saved as a PDF file for future reference. 

•	Improved sample request 
With a click on the “Buy Now” button users can determine inventory levels at selected distributors and order samples directly from the desired distributor’s website.
