Toroidal Power Inductor Squeezes Into Consumer Devices

The 8300 series toroidal surface mount power inductors feature a miniature profile measuring 7.8 mm x 5.2 mm x 1.8 mm, making them suitable for a broad range of handheld consumer electronics. The components keep magnetic flux confined to the core. As a result, stray fields are almost totally eliminated. Other features include a maximum DC current of 3A, inductances from 0.42 mH to 100 mH, dc resistances from 24 m? to 1320 m?, and an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
