TDK has expanded its lineup of metal core power inductors with the new SPM-VT series that is designed especially for the high thermal and current demands of automotive LED headlights. These wire-wound power inductors feature both a broad operating temperature range from -55 °C up to +155 °C and high rated currents from 4.7 A […]
Small footprint surface-mount inductors cover wide temperature range for power-dense apps
TT Electronics announced two new surface-mount device (SMD) power inductors: the HM66M series for use in high frequency power conversion systems and EMI filter applications, and the HM78M series for use in high density and high frequency DC/DC converter applications. The TT Electronics HM66M series power inductors are designed for the complex industrial and telecommunications markets. The HM66M is […]
How new inductor cores meet demands for smaller, quieter, and more reliable power
by Patrik Kalbermatten, KEMET Engineered composite cores have enabled inductor manufacturers to pack high inductance into a small volume. New FlakeComposite technology takes core performance to the next level, and adds extra mechanical resilience to enable new types of low-profile devices. Power inductors are crucial devices for managing the flow of energy in switching converters, […]
HIgh-current power inductors target automotive apps
Power management company Eaton today launched its automotive-grade HCM1AV2 product line of high current power inductors designed for the transportation market to address increased power conversion and filtering requirements. The HCM1AV2 is tested beyond AEC-Q200 Grade 1 requirements for added reliability and confidence desired by most automotive engineers. The robust molded construction makes HCM1AV2 ideal for high […]
Tiny shielded power inductors are AEC-Q200 Grade 1 qualified
Coilcraft’s new XAL7050 Series of high-temperature power inductors is available with inductance values from 22 to 47 µH and current ratings as high as 5.5 Amps, with low DCR for greater efficiency. For lower inductance values, Coilcraft offers a lower-profile companion, the XAL7030, with an identical footprint and inductance range of 0.16 to 10 µH. The XAL7050 […]
Molded power inductors feature wide inductance range up to 8.2 µH
Coilcraft’s XGL4020 Series of high-performance, molded power inductors feature the industry’s lowest DC losses and extremely low AC losses for a wide range of DC-DC converters (from hundreds kHz up to 5+ MHz). Additional performance improvements include a wider range of inductance values and improved Irms current ratings. The XGL4020 is available in twelve inductance […]
Thin-film power inductors boast rated inductance of 1.0 µH
TDK Corporation announces the development of a miniaturized thin-film power inductor in an IEC 2012 case size that can handle higher currents compared to conventional products. The low-profile TFM201208ALD power inductor measures in at 2.0 x 1.25 x 0.8 mm and is available with a rated inductance of 1.0 µH. Thanks to its reduced DC […]
Traps to avoid when spec’ing a custom transformer
John Gallagher from Pulse Electronics recently spoke with us about some of the things design engineers and circuit designers need to know when they’re working with a company that makes transformers and inductors. He says a lot of circuit designers look at transformers as ideal transformers –there’s just a certain number of turns in the […]
Special challenges of using inductors in wide-bandgap semiconductor circuits
Dave Munguia from Pulse Electronics recently explained to us that when you’re working with gallium-nitride transistors and other wide-bandgap semiconductors, there are special challenges associated with inductors. Pulse Electronics addressed the issue in a paper they delivered at APEC 2019. Munguia says they picked five different constructions of inductors from the catalogs of different manufacturers. […]
