More Than Components – Kingtronics 2025 ESG and team journey

In the electronics industry, reliability is often discussed in terms of specifications, certifications, and supply chain performance. But behind every stable delivery schedule and consistent product quality, there is a less visible foundation: people.

At Kingtronics, long-term reliability does not begin on the production line. It begins with how teams communicate, collaborate, and support one another in everyday work.


Everyday Collaboration Beyond the Office

While technical expertise is essential, smooth collaboration across departments plays an equally important role. Regular internal gatherings and team activities give engineers, logistics specialists, quality teams, and sales colleagues the opportunity to exchange perspectives beyond formal meetings.

These moments help break down silos and create shared understanding, which ultimately translates into faster coordination, clearer communication, and fewer disruptions for customers.

Small Actions, Meaningful Impact

Corporate responsibility is often associated with large initiatives and formal policies. At Kingtronics, it also takes shape through simple, human actions.

Participation in community initiatives, such as blood donation activities, reflects a mindset of shared responsibility. These activities remind teams that the work they do every day is connected to a broader social environment.

A Workplace Built on Trust and Continuity

Celebrating milestones together, whether seasonal events or team achievements, contributes to a sense of continuity and trust within the organization. This stability matters.

For customers and partners, it means working with teams that stay consistent over time, understand long-term requirements, and approach collaboration with responsibility rather than short-term thinking.

Why This Matters for Our Partners

Behind-the-scenes culture may not appear on datasheets or certificates, but its impact is tangible. A team that communicates openly and feels accountable to one another is better equipped to handle challenges, adapt to changes, and maintain reliable operations.

At Kingtronics, we believe that reliability is not only engineered. It is cultivated, day by day, through people, culture, and shared values.

Looking Ahead

As the electronics industry continues to evolve, technical excellence will always be essential. But sustainable partnerships are built on more than components alone.

They are built on people.

Axial Capacitors Overview – Kingtronics FKT-AA~FKT-AD Series

Kingtronics FKT-AA~FKT-AD axial film capacitors overview

Kingtronics International Company — Inspired by Innovation

1. Axial Film Capacitor Overview

Axial Film Capacitors remain a preferred solution for engineers who require stable performance, long operating life, and dependable characteristics across consumer, industrial, and power-related applications. Kingtronics FKT-AA, FKT-AB, FKT-AC, and FKT-AD series represent a complete axial lead film capacitor lineup optimized for filtering, coupling, pulse circuits, and precision signal conditioning. Built with high-grade dielectric materials and metallized film design, these capacitors offer excellent electrical stability and robust mechanical endurance for both modern and legacy circuit architectures.

2. Technical Q&A: Engineer-Focused Selection Guide (Voltage / Capacitance / ESR)

Q1: How do I select the appropriate voltage rating?

Select a voltage rating that accounts for steady-state voltage, surge tolerance, and AC ripple. Polypropylene (PP): higher dielectric strength → ideal for pulse and switching circuits. Polyester (PET): cost-efficient for coupling, timing, and general filtering.

Q2: What should I consider when selecting capacitance?

Evaluate tolerance, temperature drift, and frequency behavior. Axial film capacitors maintain consistent capacitance thanks to uniform dielectric layering — ideal for audio crossovers, signal conditioning, and precision analog designs.

3. Comparison Table: Axial Film vs Metallized Polyester vs Polypropylene

Feature / Property Axial Film Capacitors Metallized Polyester (PET) Metallized Polypropylene (PP)
Dielectric Loss Low Medium Very Low
Temperature Stability Good Moderate Excellent
Pulse Handling Good Limited Very Strong
Typical Applications Filtering, coupling, signal control Consumer electronics, DC blocking High voltage, snubber, precision circuits
Cost Moderate Low Moderate–High

This comparison highlights why polypropylene axial capacitors are preferred for high-voltage, high-stress circuits, while polyester types provide economical benefits for consumer-grade electronics.

When power systems and industrial equipment face sudden voltage spikes, the entire circuit can be put at risk. That’s why TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes play such a critical role — they clamp dangerous surges within nanoseconds, protecting sensitive ICs, MOSFETs and controllers.

This article is written for design and maintenance engineers who work with power supplies, industrial equipment, automation and high-reliability systems. It explains why TVS diodes have become a standard protection element and how Kingtronics TVS series can help you build stable, cost-effective designs.


Why TVS Diodes Are Essential in Power Supplies

Power supply stages sit at the front line of the system. They see switching noise from converters, disturbances from the AC line and, in some regions, lightning-related surges. Without proper surge protection, these events can damage rectifiers, controllers or downstream loads.

A correctly selected TVS diode clamps the surge to a defined level, absorbs the pulse energy and allows the supply to recover, instead of letting the transient propagate into the rest of the circuit.

Common Use Cases in Power Electronics

Based on industry applications and Kingtronics internal data, TVS diodes are commonly used in power-related designs such as:

• AC/DC converters and power adapters
• General switching power supplies for industrial and IT equipment
• High-power SMPS in servers, automation and charging systems
• SMPS output regulation lines (3.3V / 5V / 12V) for logic and control rails
• Lightning suppression boards and surge protection modules
• Dedicated transient suppression circuits at supply input or critical nodes

Recommended Kingtronics TVS Series for Power Designs

SMBJ Series – Compact SMD protection for SMPS output and converter boards where PCB area is limited
SMCJ Series – Higher surge capability SMC package for high-power PSUs and industrial converters
P6KE Series – Versatile axial solution for switching power supply and general transient protection
1.5KE Series – High-surge axial TVS for heavy-duty SMPS and robust industrial power units
5KP Series – Designed for lightning and high-energy suppression in harsh line and surge environments

Industrial Electronics: Harsh Environments Need Robust Protection

Industrial and transportation electronics often operate in electrically harsh environments. Motors, long cable runs, inductive loads and external interfaces can all inject noise and surges into control and monitoring circuitry.

According to Kingtronics application data, TVS diodes are widely used to protect critical industrial and safety-related systems, including:

• Aircraft engine controllers and onboard electronics
• Elevator control systems and building automation panels
• Fire alarm systems and emergency signaling devices
• Gas detectors and safety monitoring equipment
• Industrial control boards for machinery and process control
• Voltage regulator modules and power distribution boards
• Power MOSFET protection in switching and motor control stages
• Black box recorders and data logging systems
• Image inspection and vision systems in production lines

In these high-reliability scenarios, both surge energy and response time matter. Kingtronics offers options across SMAJ / SMBJ / SMCJ / 1.5KE / P6KE / P4KE / SA Series, so designers can choose the package, power rating and voltage range that match their environment and qualification level.
