SINGAPORE, June 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- RS Components (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents plc (LSE:ECM), the global distributor
for engineers, has vastly extended the range of capacitor technologies available from stock to customers worldwide, leveraging
its new global agreement with TDK
Corporation.
TDK Corporation is a leading electronics company. Its portfolio includes electronic components, modules and systems, power supplies, and magnetic
application products as well as energy devices, flash memory application devices, and others. TDK focuses on demanding markets in
the areas of information and communication technology and consumer, automotive and industrial electronics. The company has a
network of design and manufacturing locations and sales offices in Asia, Europe, North and South America.
Since the two companies announced their franchise agreement in June 2015, RS has added over 700
lines of TDK and EPCOS passive components, emphasising broader support for capacitor technologies such as aluminium electrolytic,
film, and ceramic capacitors with various classes of dielectrics. Customers can now get fast access to high-quality TDK
capacitors, including devices with high capacitance, compact dimensions down to 0201 chip-size MLCCs, wide temperature range, or
voltage ratings of 1000V and higher.
By integrating the additional lines of TDK and EPCOS products, RS has also extended its selection of components such as
protection devices, high-frequency filters, connectivity modules, wirewound and chip-type surface-mount inductors, leaded
inductors, and ferrite beads, rings and sleeves for choke or filtering duties. In total, over 2300 TDK and EPCOS products are now
stocked and available for free next-day delivery from RS.
Steve Keep, Global Head Passive and Emech at RS, said, "This partnership will deliver great benefits to end users in the
manufacturing industry, specifically the electronic, automotive, industrial, ICT and transport sub sectors. This is through a
combination of TDK's market-leading products and technical excellence with the superior online customer experience, large product
offer, high stock availability and world class delivery performance from RS."
"Representing a milestone in our relationship, the eCommerce and logistical capabilities offered by RS will enable us to reach
