Ultra-Thin Inductors Handle Up To 1.9 A

With an above-board height of just 1.19 mm and footprint of 7.87 mm x 9.14 mm, the LPO2506 series of SMT power inductors meets the height restrictions of PC Cards and other low-profile applications. The inductors’ low height is achieved by dropping the inductor core through a hole in the pc board. Custom designs can further reduce the height to as low as 0.9 mm, depending on board thickness. If in-board mounting is impractical, an on-board version offers overall height of just 1.65 mm.Despite their small size, the devices handle currents up to 1.9 A_RMS. There are 15 inductance values ranging from 4.7 µH to 1000 µH. Parts offer a ceramic body and large flat top. They’re optimized for reliable pick-and-place operations. PSpice models are available on the firm’s website.
