January 2024: Two novel varistor series in SMD design are presented by TDK Corporation (TSE:6762). Both series kinds are offered for a broad variety of operating voltages, which range from 225 VDC to 615 VDC, or 175 VRMS to 460 VRMS. A high surge current capability of 10,000 A is available for the B72214M* series of surge devices, which are equal to S20 leaded disk varistors. In contrast, the B72210M* series, which are equivalent to S14 leaded disk varistors, has a surge current capability of 6000 A. Every type is made to withstand a maximum operating temperature of +125 °C and an exceptionally humid heat environment (85% relative humidity at +85 °C).

Ltd. aims to satisfy the growing demand for components with better temperature performance and higher capacitance levels in small form factors. This innovation, from the GRM series, is packaged in the 0201inch/0603M size and offers capacitance values of 10µF with a ±20% tolerance. It is currently the smallest MLCC product available on the market that can achieve such capacitance levels. When compared to the 0402-inch/1005M devices that are usually specified for equivalent requirements, this represents a significant 65% reduction in size. (Source: https://www.doeeet.com/content/eee-components/passives/industry-first-murata-squeezes-10uf-into-0201-mlcc-capacitor/ ) April 2023: MLCC device with 220 ?F capacitance in 1210-inch size, specially suited for automotive applications, was introduced by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. The product is designed to be used with autonomous driving (AD) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). It emphasizes the growing role of MLCCs in various functions within vehicles and meets the growing demand for MLCCs in the rapidly expanding automotive electrification sector.

Request company profile for validation →According to Cognitive Market Research, the global Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) market size was USD 14514.2 million in 2024. It will expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.00% from 2024 to 2031.
A multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) is a common electronic component used for signal filtering and energy storage in electronic circuits. MLCCs are small devices with high capacitance values that are made up of many layers of ceramic material with alternating conductive layers. Usually, a metal, usually silver, makes up the conductive layers, while compounds like barium titanate are used to create the ceramic layers. Since MLCCs are so effective at producing capacitance in a tiny package, they are vital parts of many electronic devices, such as cell phones, computers, and automobile electronics. Increased use of MLCCs in the automobile industry, which is essential for infotainment, engine control units, safety systems, and other applications, is one of the main drivers of the market. Additional factors supporting the growth of the MLCC market include the widespread use of electric vehicles and the incorporation of cutting-edge electronics in conventional automobiles. Moreover, it has become commonplace to integrate MLCCs into smart LED and LCD TVs. It's expected that the growing acclaim of these televisions will play a major role in the swift expansion of the industry. The Internet of Things (IoT), 5G technology, and the ongoing digital transformation of numerous industries are projected to propel the MLCC market's growth as the electronics industry continues to change.
For instance, by 2025, 5G networks are expected to cover around one-third of the world's population, according to the Global Smartphone Association (GSMA). By the end of 2025, the organization projects that 2 billion 5G connections will exist, accounting for more than 15% of all mobile connections. The increased use of 5G creates a significant need for 5G-capable devices, especially smartphones.
