Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has developed a 0603M size (0.6 × 0.3 × 0.3mm) copper electrode negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, with models "NCU03XH103F6SRL" and "NCU03XH103F60RL". This new product expands the size lineup of the NCU series and meets the high-density and miniaturized requirements of circuit boards in the automotive market, as well as the high reliability requirements for electronic components. Mass production has begun and samples can be provided.
In 2022, the penetration rate of China's new energy vehicle market reached 25.6%, a year-on-year increase of 12.1 percentage points, with global sales accounting for over 60%. With the increasing penetration rate of electric vehicles, software level intelligence will be the key to forming competitive differentiation, and intelligent driving will trigger a new round of reshuffle in the automotive industry. In order to further enhance the competitiveness of vehicle models and expand market share, high-quality domestic brands have made improving the intelligent driving level of new vehicle models the next key task. At present, domestic intelligent driving vehicles have developed to the stage of assisted driving. According to data from high-tech intelligent vehicles, in 2022, the standard front mounted assisted driving (L0-L2) for passenger cars in the Chinese market (excluding imports and exports) will be delivered, with a front mounted loading rate exceeding 50% for the first time.
The goal is to master highly differentiated and knowledgeable core technologies, either by bypassing Tier 1 self-development or by forming a technical team to directly communicate with core hardware and software suppliers. This will determine what role suppliers can play, Tier 1.5、Tier 2……。 With high-frequency innovation, the automotive development cycle has been shortened, entering the "Moore's era", which severely tests the development ability, engineering and technical service ability, and pre research ability of suppliers.
