EPCOS authorized distributor — MLCCs, thermistors, varistors, ferrites & EMC components.
EPCOS AG (now TDK Electronics AG) is a leading German manufacturer of passive and EMC components, founded in 1999 in Munich from a Siemens and Matsushita joint venture, and part of TDK Corporation since 2009. Belden supplies EPCOS / TDK Electronics components worldwide from Singapore.
EPCOS AG — now TDK Electronics AG.
EPCOS AG was founded in 1999 in Munich, Germany, formed from the electronic components joint venture of Siemens AG and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. The company rapidly established itself as one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of passive and EMC components, with a portfolio spanning capacitors, thermistors, varistors, ferrites, inductors and sensors.
In 2009 TDK Corporation acquired EPCOS AG, integrating it into TDK’s global components business. In 2019 the entity was rebranded as TDK Electronics AG, though EPCOS remains widely used as a brand and product identifier. The combined portfolio includes AEC-Q200-qualified automotive series and a comprehensive range of components for industrial, telecom, renewable energy and medical applications.
Belden Electronic Components is an authorized franchise distributor of EPCOS / TDK Electronics in Singapore. We supply principal-direct stock with full lot and date-code traceability, shipping to manufacturers anywhere in the world.

Before you call sales.
What is EPCOS?
EPCOS AG was a leading German manufacturer of electronic components founded in 1999 in Munich, Germany from a joint venture between Siemens and Matsushita. The company specialized in MLCCs, film capacitors, NTC and PTC thermistors, varistors (MOVs), ferrite cores, EMC components, power inductors and sensors for automotive, industrial, telecom and consumer electronics markets worldwide. EPCOS became part of TDK Corporation in 2009 and was rebranded as TDK Electronics AG in 2019.
Is EPCOS the same as TDK Electronics?
Yes. EPCOS AG was acquired by TDK Corporation in 2009 and rebranded as TDK Electronics AG in 2019. The product portfolio, manufacturing sites and engineering heritage remain the same. Components previously sold under the EPCOS brand are now marketed as TDK Electronics, and both brand names appear on datasheets and legacy part numbers. Belden supplies both EPCOS-branded and TDK Electronics-branded components.
Are you an authorized EPCOS distributor?
Yes. Belden Electronic Components is an authorized franchise distributor of EPCOS / TDK Electronics, supplying MLCCs, film capacitors, NTC/PTC thermistors, varistors (MOVs), ferrite cores, EMC components, power inductors and sensors direct from the manufacturer with full traceability.
What EPCOS components are suitable for automotive applications?
EPCOS / TDK Electronics offers a broad range of AEC-Q200-qualified components for automotive use, including MLCCs (CGA/C series automotive grade), NTC thermistors for temperature sensing in battery management systems and powertrain, PTC thermistors for self-regulating heaters, B72 varistors for transient protection on CAN bus and power lines, and ferrite components for EMC suppression in automotive ECUs. These series are produced to IATF 16949 quality standards and are widely specified in EV/HEV, ADAS, infotainment and powertrain applications.
