SMT Power Inductors Deliver Efficiency In A Compact Package

High efficiency in a design that occupies a minimum amount of board space are promised for the Power Pod, a family of high-current, surface-mount power inductors that delivers up to 6W/in.³. With their high power density, the devices support the development of advanced battery-powered devices and of more compact circuit board designs.
The line is well suited for use in microprocessor and distributed power applications, including power supplies, power regulators, and dc/dc converters-- especially those used in test and measurement equipment, medical diagnostic equipment, and industrial process control equipment. Other applications include use in security systems, instrumentation, bar code and laboratory analysis equipment. Measuring only 0.65" x 0.8" x 0.6" high, the inductor offers current ratings up to 39A with saturation current to 125A. Pricing is $8.66 each/1000.
