High-Current Inductors Boast Compact Footprint

The IHLP-2020CZ-01 low-profile, high-current inductor boasts a 5.18-mm by 5.49-mm footprint and 3.0-mm profile. Standard inductance values range from 0.10 µH through 15 µH. With a frequency range up to 5 MHz, the new IHLP inductor serves as a space- and power-saving solution for voltage regulator module (VRM) and dc-to-dc converter applications. The IHLP-2020CZ-01 offers a saturation current range from 2.5 A up to 27 A, typical DCR from 3.0 mOhm to 252.0 mOhm, and maximum DCR from 3.16 mOhm to 265.0 mOhm. It handles high transient current spikes without hard saturation. Packaged in an RoHS-compliant, Pb-free shielded, composite construction that reduces buzz noise to ultra-low levels, the new device is specified for an operating temperature range of 55°C to +125°C and has high resistance to thermal shock, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. Samples and production quantities are available now, with lead times of 10 to 12 weeks for large orders. Pricing is $0.35 each in 10,000-piece quantities. VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY INC., Malvern, PA.
