Superior Coplanarity Claimed For Surface-Mount Power Chokes

Available in five inductance values spanning a 0.40 to 3.9 µH range and in current ratings from 10A to 26A, the Series FW1405 surface-mount chokes are high-current inductors that are made using rectangular copper wire edge-wound on a thermoset epoxy bobbin base. The base features an integral three-terminal design to optimize part adhesion when soldered to a pc board. And by soldering the inductor wire to the terminals, the devices are said to achieve superior coplanarity. A low-profile, high-saturation ferrite core completes the design. The operating temperature range for the chokes extends from -25°C to +80°C. For more details, call API DELEVAN, E. Aurora, NY. (716) 652-3600.
