TDK-Lambda Corporation, a subsidiary of TDK Corporation, is a global supplier and recognized leader of power conversion products suited to many applications including; medical, industrial, broadcast, defense, factory automation and LED/LCD signage. With global sales in excess of $500 million, we have design, manufacturing, and sales locations in all five (5) key geographic locations: Japan, China, EMEA, ASEAN, and the Americas. TDK-Lambda's view is a "Power Supply" is more than just an electronic device. It is the "heart" of our customers’ systems and the core element of safety and reliability. This belief drives us to support our customers through all stages of the product life cycle; product development (design-in assistance, EMC, standards, safety certification), introduction (speed, logistics), growth (scale, cost), maturity (cost), and decline (EOL strategy, post support). Our history of providing reliable and innovative power supplies has earned us the reputation of being a trusted world-class organization. Our broad product offering features over 6,000 models, including a range of 1.5W to 100kW AC-DC power supplies, High Voltage power supplies, DC-DC converters, Programmable AC-DC and DC-DC power supplies, Programmable electronic loads and EMC/EMI noise filters. All global sites are ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and ISO 14001 certified.

Strengths as a TDK Group Company

Accumulating more than 80 years of know-how and history, TDK was founded following the invention of ferrite, a vital component in the design of transformers and inductors, elements at the heart of any power supply development. TDK-Lambda benefits from TDK's expertise in ferrite and multilayer capacitors. Joint development and early access to advanced materials enable TDK-Lambda to greatly improve the efficiency and performance of our inclusive product offering.

The Advantages of working with TDK-Lambda

RELIABILITY BY DESIGN 

A development process requiring products to meet or exceed stringent internal design guidelines. Products are subjected to a series of rigorous reviews with brutally honest and logical judgements at each stage.

• Large, global, fully-qualified component database giving economy of scale and long product life cycles
• Worldwide unified design standards
• Best in class operating life times, field failures are reduced by designing E-caps for 15+ year life, applying proper electrical and thermal derating, and use of high quality components
• Higher efficiency and advanced thermal management result in lower operating temps, longer life and lower total cost of ownership
• Detailed EVT/DVT test plan incorporating lessons learned from decades of experience in field applications
• Uncompromising Product Qualification consistent with IPC9592B guidelines - HALT, TCT, THB, HASS, shock and vibration, demonstrated life testing
• Reliability models and component stress analysis; MTBF, Bel-core, Mil-Std-217 and DMTBF analysis in production

TDK-Lambda was recognized for providing the industry’s first power supplies with a limited lifetime warranty. We stand behind our products and don’t expect them to fail.

LEGENDARY QUALITY

Quality can never be assured by final inspection. Quality is an integral part of everything we do. Our process includes a tightly controlled approved vendor list (AVL), incoming inspection, rigorous testing, field proven topologies and components, test data validation, and extraordinary process reliability. These factors combine to generate elite product quality levels.

• Industry-leading warranties
• Rigid component AVL selection and management process
• A supply chain committed to utilize only authorized sources of supply
• Advanced statistical controls, Process capability index – Cp, CpK requirements
• Pilot production process to study processes and guarantee high manufacturing yields within specification
• Many process inspection controls including checkpoints at component, sub-assembly, and final product levels
• Professional Failure Analysis to identify root cause to component level
• Corrective Action reports (8-D) accompanied by extensive technical support to help resolve application issues and prevent additional failures
