About

TDK Corporation (Sensor Systems Business) specializes in the development and manufacturing of TMR (Tunnel Magneto-Resistance) magnetic sensors. These sensors are designed for high precision and reliability, making them suitable for automotive applications such as angle sensors for assist motor control and brake booster motor control in electric power steering, as well as current sensors for battery charge/discharge control. The Asama Techno Factory, located in Saku-shi, Nagano, Japan, utilizes advanced thin-film technology to produce these sensors, which are also used in consumer products like smartphones and robots due to their low power consumption. The factory is set to double its production capacity by the first half of 2025 to meet increasing demand across automotive, consumer, and industrial sectors.
