MOUNTAINSIDE, N.J.,
March 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- A.K. Stamping Company, Inc. is pleased to announce our new
A2311 Transmit Coil designed to work within the A11 specification
of the WPC (Qi) standard.
Based upon a true bifilar Tesla coil design, these stamped coils
are significantly thinner (0.3mm for coil alone, 2mm for coil
mounted to optional ferrite shield) than comparable Litz wire
coils, giving designers the freedom to significantly reduce the
overall thickness of their charging devices. Made from stamped
aluminum, the A2311 coils are more resistant to damage from
vibration and thermal shock than charging coils made by competing
technologies, surpassing the automotive requirements for stress
testing of passive components. In addition, AKS' patent-pending
coil manufacturing technology dramatically reduces coil costs
compared to other wireless charging coils on the market today.
"We are excited to have developed an innovative solution for the
growing wireless charging market," said Carlo Montesa, Product Manager of Wireless
Charging at AK Stamping. "AKS is able to offer a dramatic reduction
in coil thickness and cost. It's truly a groundbreaking technology
that gives the wireless charging industry the manufacturing
scalability and consistency it needs. Compared to competing
technologies, our technology provides an extremely robust solution
that is ideal for both inductive and resonant applications."
Ease of integration into WPC Qi transmitter devices was a key
development goal for the A2311 charging coil. To that end, AKS
worked extensively with leading wireless chipset manufacturer NXP
Semiconductor to ensure that the coil assembly is verified for
optimum functionality with NXP chipsets for WPC A11 applications.
The benefit for systems designers is a shorter design and
verification cycle when both the A2311 and NXP chipsets are used
together.
The A2311 joins our growing portfolio of patent-pending wireless
charging coils, which also includes the A2306 A6 style WPC Transmit
coil. Available in copper or aluminum, the A2306 shares the
substantial thickness, durability and cost benefits of the A2311
coil.
For wireless charging of smartphones, AKS also offers Qi
receiver coils with outstanding performance at a thickness of just
0.14mm.
A.K. Stamping Company, Inc. designs and manufactures innovative
wireless charging coil solutions for WPC, PMA, and Rezence (A4WP)
at our New Jersey (USA) and
Shanghai (China) facilities. Our unique blend of design,
prototyping, and mass production capabilities enables us to
consistently meet the needs of this fast growing market. More
