Compact Power Inductors Offer Range of Eight Package Sizes

Inductors are essential components in electronic devices, providing the necessary energy storage and regulation for various applications. The latest innovation in the field of inductors comes in the form of compact yet highly efficient flat wire inductors. These inductors boast a high current capacity of up to 56 A saturation current and are capable of handling high transient current spikes with ease.

Designed for use in DC/DC converters, power supplies, point-of-load converters, high-current filters, industrial computers, mainboards, and graphics cards, these flat wire inductors offer unparalleled performance and reliability. Previously only available in the Power Magnetics product family, the moulded flat wire inductor is now offered in a range of package sizes, including 4020, 4030, 4040, 5020, 5030, 5050, 7030, and 7070.

The introduction of smaller package sizes and the addition of the 70xx sizes fill a gap in the existing portfolio, providing more options for designers and engineers. These new package sizes not only enhance the flexibility of design but also contribute to optimizing the production process, resulting in improved electrical properties such as RDC, Isat, and Ir.

One standout feature of the AEC-Q200-qualified WE-XHMI series inductors is their wide operating temperature range, from -40°C to +125°C. With an inductance range from 0.15 to 33 µH and currents up to 56 A, these inductors are versatile and can be used in a variety of demanding environments.

Utilizing the WE-XHMI flat wire inductor offers significant benefits in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. The design of a flat wire coil with a composite core material results in very low winding resistance, minimizing copper losses and ensuring stable performance even with temperature fluctuations. Additionally, the flat wire design reduces the skin effect by providing a larger surface area with the same cross-section.

Furthermore, all package sizes of SMT power inductors are now readily available from stock without any minimum order quantity requirements. Developers can also request free samples to evaluate the performance and suitability of these innovative flat wire inductors for their specific applications.
