Press Release

Montreal, Quebec ( connect2business ) August 2, 2013 - Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, has announce in-stock inventory availability of TDK's wireless charging coils, designed for smartphones and other mobile devices. The receiving coil represents an industry-leading achievement, featuring a thickness of a mere 0.57 mm.

This development reflects TDK's extensive expertise in fields such as magnetic materials technology and process technology, and involved the creation of a unique, extremely thin and flexible metal magnetic sheet. As a result, the wireless charging coil( http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/Search.aspx?dsNav=Ntk:PartNumberSearch%7cwireless+charging+coil%7c1%7c,Ny:True,Ro:0,Nea:True,N:4294938405 ) unit not only is ultra thin and lightweight, it also is highly resistant to shock and therefore provides excellent reliability. Furthermore, in spite of its 0.57 mm profile, the coil's design minimizes the tendency towards rising resistance and achieves a power transfer efficiency that allows clearing the requirements of the WPC "Qi" standard. The low height of the unit is a key aspect for use in smartphones. At this point, output current is on the order of 0.5 to 0.6 Amperes, but an even thinner 0.50 mm type with equal or better output current is already in development, with a view towards starting mass production later this year.
