Wire-Wound Power Inductors Shrink By 70%

Reducing size by 70% compared to the company's previous offerings, the BRC1608 series high current, wire-wound power inductors in EIA 0603 case sizes emerge as the smallest power inductors available. The inductors measure 1.6 mm x 0.8 mm x 0.8 mm (all ± 0.2 mm). Eight models in the series specify DC resistances from 0.06 to 0.55 Ohms, inductance values from 0.2 to 2.2 µH, and current ratings from 0.98A to 0.28A. Reportedly, the company's material science and manufacturing abilities bridge the gap between wire-wound performance and multi-layer manufacturability in the BRC1608 series. The inductors are available now in EIA 0603 cases, providing the high bias characteristics of wire-wound devices with the small size of multi-layer type devices. Sample price is $0.20 each.
