Power Inductors Improve DC Bias Characteristics

Compared with existing NR4018T2R2M offerings, the NRS4010 (4 x 4 x 1 mm), the NRS4012 (4 x 4  x 1.2 mm) and the NRS4018 (4 x 4  x 1.8 mm) wire-wound power inductors specify a 30% lower dc resistance. They also exhibit an 11% improvement in saturation current. Sample price for each type is $0.30 each. TAIYO YUDEN USA INC., Schaumburg, IL. (847) 925-0888.
