Sensors

PVC-free temperature sensor

With its M3000 series, EPCOS has developed a temperature sensor with a PVC-free cable that contains no halogens, environmentally harmful plasticizers or stabilizers with heavy metals.

Sensors

Variable-fit pipe-mounted sensor

EPCOS has introduced a pipe-mounted sensor designed for permanent mounting on pipe diameters of 12 to 20 mm, the most common sizes used in heating systems. Its patented design, which features a plastic body and clip, makes it particularly easy to install.

Applications

High-rated X2 capacitors

EMI problems under control

A new series of high-rated X2 capacitors with up to 45 μF allows the construction of space-saving and low-inductance EMI filters. The number of nonlinear loads in industrial and consumer electronics is increasing continuously.

Components for induction cookers

Energy efficiency in the kitchen

Induction cookers are extremely energy efficient. EPCOS supplies a full range of components, including film capacitors, chokes, transformers, thermistors and varistors.
