SMT Sense Transformers Keep DC/DC Converters Up And Running

June 1, 2001

Designed to detect ac current changes and supply an output for control circuitry in dc/dc converters, the P820xT series of surface-mount sense transformers is rated for currents up to 6A and includes a range of turns ratios from 1:20 to 1:125 with inductance values from 80 to 3,000 µH. These transformers measure 0.19" high and sport a flat-top design with a fixed clip that makes them compatible with pick-and-place applications.
The transformers are rated for optimal performance at 100 kHz and above and are currently available in trays and tape-and-reel packaging.
