Frenetic Electronics, a pioneering company based in Spain, has recently introduced an innovative production service tailored to meet the unique needs of its customers in the realm of custom magnetics designs. Dr. Chema Molina, the visionary founder and CEO of Frenetic, shared insights into the company's evolution, stating that the initial concept took shape a decade ago with a focus on power control systems. However, it became evident that magnetics, particularly inductors and transformers, posed significant challenges for customers.
With a deep understanding of the market demand and the limitations faced by clients, Dr. Molina established Frenetic in 2018. Initially, the company developed software capable of suggesting viable designs to kickstart the process. Nevertheless, the pivotal realization came when it became apparent that creating physical samples was essential. Subsequently, Frenetic Factory was born, offering a production service devoid of minimum order quantities.
One of the standout features of Frenetic Factory is its utilization of the Core Optimizer web design and analysis tool to manufacture inductors, transformers, and EMI filters. This cutting-edge tool automatically generates crucial components such as the bill of materials (BOM), 3D models, and engineering drawings, streamlining the design process for customers.
Dr. Molina highlighted the advanced capabilities integrated into Frenetic Factory, including specialized algorithms for ferrite materials and litz wires. The production range spans frequencies from 10kHz to 1.5MHz, accommodating power requirements up to 100kW with up to 8 E100 stacks. Customers have the flexibility to select an inductor, specify their requirements, and receive a tailored solution promptly.
Addressing specific industry needs, Dr. Molina emphasized the significance of Frenetic's offerings in sectors such as electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. In these applications, where inductors play a crucial role, Frenetic's solutions provide both efficiency and scalability, particularly in production batches.
