TDK Launches Inductors for Small Power Systems in True Wireless Stereo Devices

TDK Corporation has developed the PLEA67 Series of inductors for use in true wireless stereo (TWS) devices. TDK’s original structure design and newly developed materials in the new thin-film power inductors achieve a rated current of 500mA in a small-sized component with an inductance of 2.2μH. The unique magnetic shield structure reduces magnetic flux leakage, while the low-loss magnetic material provides a highly efficient power supply circuit, ideal for small power supply and low power consumption Bluetooth LE modules.

Coronavirus Outbreak Reveals the Weakest Links in the Supply Chain

For many firms, the outbreak of COVID-19 has meant staff working from home and more use of teleconferencing rather than face to face meetings. However, it's a different situation for manufacturers because, despite investments in automation, reducing the need for staff on assembly lines, they still need staff for most operations, including to receive raw materials. The impact of Coronavirus is both global and unpredictable, and the supply chain shock it is causing will most definitely and substantially cut into the worldwide manufacturing revenue of US$15 trillion currently forecasted for 2020 by ABI Research.
