Surface Mount Inductors with Optional EMI Shield Save Space in Power Supply and Filtering Circuits



17-April, 2002, Tucson, Arizona - The latest series of miniature bobbin wound surface mount inductors from C&D Technologies combine inductance values from just 2.7 microH to 680 microH with low DC resistance and current handling capabilities to 4.6A.

Offering DC resistance values down to just 0.028 ohm, the new 2400 and 2600 series inductors are ideal for switching power supply designs, power line filter circuits, and other applications where high saturation currents and miniature footprints are required. In addition, for applications where electrical noise is a critical factor, the inductors can be supplied with an integral ferrite EMI shield.

Featuring values of between 2.7 and 220 microH, inductors in the C&D Technologies 2400 series have a board mounting profile of only 4.50mm and a maximum width of 5.80mm. The 2600 devices provide values between 3.3 and 680 microH and have a profile of 5.40mm and a maximum width of 12.60mm. The inductors are able to combine high current operation with compact size as a result of an open format that allows for significantly improved heat dissipation.

Available in tape and reel format, all of the new inductors are fully compatible with high-volume automated manufacturing systems. Prices for the 2400 and 2600 series start from $0.46 in OEM quantities.
