Inductor
Inductor news explores innovations in magnetic components essential for filtering, energy storage, and noise suppression in electronics. Used in power supplies, RF systems, and DC-DC converters, inductors are evolving with advanced core materials, compact packaging, and higher current ratings. Trends include low-profile SMT designs and automotive-grade components. For Electronics Weekly readers, inductor updates are crucial for optimizing circuit performance, power conversion, and EMI control in everything from mobile devices to high-voltage systems.
Inductors for automotive power-over-coax
TDK has created inductors for automotive power-over-coax applications up to 1.6A. The three parts are an expansion of the 4.5 x 3.2 x 3.2mm ADL4532VK series, and are rated for use across -55 to +155°C. Power-over-coax requires data to be separated from power, and that filtering is what these inductors are intended for. The “series delivers high impedance across a ...
36A SMD common-mode choke for reflow soldering
TDK has created a range of surface-mount high-current common-mode chokes. “Customers who prefer reflow soldering but need high-current common-mode chokes can now get an SMD solution,” according to the company. “These components can filter common-mode noise for rated currents from 24 A to 36 A at a temperature of +70°C. With additional cooling higher currents can be achieved – this ...
Nanocrystalline cores shrink common-mode inductors
Chemi-Con has introduced nanocrystalline core ac and dc common-mode inductors to improve upon the size of its existing FL-V series, calling the new parts the FW series. “The material’s high magnetic permeability reduces the core volume and the number of copper wire turns needed to achieve a design,” claimed distributor TTI IP&E, which is stocking the parts. “Compared to FL-V ...
1mm inductors carry 480mA for power filters
Power-over-coax circuits in automotive cameras are the target that TDK is aiming at with 1005 multi-layer inductors. Measuring 1 x 0.5 x 0.5mm, there are three devices in the MLJ1005-G series: 0.27, 0.36 and 0.47μH “With PoC technology, a single coaxial cable can simultaneously carry both power and data, streamlining the wiring,” according to the company. A filter is required ...
Common-mode chokes in 5 x 5 x 2.5mm
Bourns has created a series of low-profile surface-mount common-mode choke line filters. Called SRF0502, they stand 2.5mm tall and have a 5 x 5mm footprint. It “latest line filter series features a shielded construction that helps to minimise EMI while delivering low dc resistance, current rating up to 5A and a frequency range up to 700 MHz”, said the company. ...
Inductors carry amps through 1008 bodies
Vishay has introduced a pair of 1008 (2.5 x 2 x 1.2mm) power inductor types. “The commercial IHLL-1008AB-1Z and Automotive Grade IHLP-1008ABEZ-5A achieve the same performance as the next-smallest IHLP inductor in a 55 % smaller footprint, while offering operating temperatures up to +165°C, a wider range of inductance values, and lower dc resistance,” according to the company. Offering inductance ...
Wireless charging coils from Vishay
Vishay Intertechnology is aiming at industrial, medical and consumer wireless charging up to 30W with a range of transmit and receive powdered iron wireless charging coils, optimised for relative humidity up to 90%. Operation is at up to +105°C, and the company is claiming smaller footprints than its previous-generation devices. “The high moisture resistance of the devices results from their ...
Nanocystal choke cores add 15dB attenuation
Schaffner has added nanocrystalline core versions of its ~65mm diameter RT common-mode choke series. Identified by part numbers of the form RT8xx1, they come in a choice of horizontal or vertical core orientation (see image) with two or three windings for single or three-phase power, as well as dc. “Based on nanocrystalline core technology, the series achieves up to 15dB ...
Tiny screened SMD inductors handle many amps
Component distributor Rutronik is offering a series of tiny surface-mount magnetically shielded power inductor from Knitter, The ICSIxxxxxxTxSHyST12 series spans sizes between 1.6 x 0.8 x 0.8mm and 6.6 x 6.4 x 3.1mm, inductance from 0.1 to 10μH and saturation currents from 1.3 to 35A. “The inductor series works reliably at operating temperatures from -40 to +125°C and is suitable ...
