SMT Inductors Wedge Into Tight Spaces

Standing 1 mm in height, the RoHS-compliant DR331-5 surface-mount inductors measure 6.7 mm x 5.6 mm, making them viable contenders for a wide range of portable products. In addition to protecting against EMI, the components feature a wide inductance range from 1.2 µH to 330 µH, +20%. They specify a DCR range from 0.08Ω to 15Ω maximum and current ratings from 2.1A to 0.13A. Operating temperature range is from -40°C to +85ºC, making them suitable for use in rugged environments. Pricing starts at $0.29 each in typical production volumes. DATATRONIC DISTRIBUTION INC., Romoland, CA. (888) 889-5391.
