Automotive
The automotive industry represents a broad landscape of technologies and processes that bring together mechanical engineering, electronics, software, and digital services to support vehicle functionality, safety, and lifecycle management.
The automotive environment relies on tightly integrated systems where physical components and digital intelligence operate together. Vehicles incorporate drivetrains, sensors, control software, connectivity solutions, and data platforms that support driving performance and compliance with safety regulations and emissions requirements.
An industry once focused on mechanical design has transformed into a technology-driven ecosystem. Innovations in electrification, connected vehicles, and automation have reshaped engineering, enabling continuous diagnostics and personalized mobility services that are more intelligent and responsive.
Where do you need electronic components?
Power Electronics & Electrification
Magnetic components and precision timing devices are critical in the electronic control units (ECUs) of modern vehicles. Compact inductors and transformers ensure reliable energy conversion and signal integrity. Alongside automotive-grade passive components such as capacitors and current-sense resistors, these elements support onboard chargers, inverters, and battery management circuits.
Body Electronics
Body electronics control everyday functions including LED lighting (indicators, cabin lights) and ultrasonic sensors for space detection and door operation. These applications rely on cost-effective, reliable passive components and small magnetics capable of withstanding temperature variations and vibration over a long service life.
Digital Cockpit & Connectivity
Digital cockpit systems integrate infotainment, displays, navigation, and wireless communication. These applications demand high-performance passives, RF magnetics, and low-jitter quartz oscillators to maintain stability in automotive environments, directly influencing system responsiveness.

Comprehensive tests are conducted carefully, and all LED packages are certified. The manufacturer is qualified to perform WHTOL, HTOL, LTOL, TC, and PTC reliability tests and is also certified to AEC-Q102.
Power Management
A comprehensive portfolio of automotive-grade magnetic components designed for vehicle applications include AC/DC and DC/DC transformers, inductors, common-mode chokes, and filter solutions. These components are optimized for use in onboard chargers (OBC) and battery management systems (BMS), delivering high efficiency and reliable performance. Application examples include IGBT gate-drivers, planar transformers for EV OBC systems, and PFC inductors.
Distance measuring
Ultrasonic sensors provide reliable distance measurement and object detection for automotive systems. They are widely used in applications such as trunk opening, door sensors, parking assist, and other proximity detection functions, delivering accurate performance in diverse environmental conditions.
Audio indication
Acoustic components play a vital role in alert and notification systems. These primarily include piezoelectric and electromechanical buzzers, as well as speakers. They provide a wide range of alerts, from simple warning tones and light system malfunction notifications to advanced collision avoidance warnings and more.
