Power Inductors feature nonshielded design.

Press Release Summary:



Designed with 1.2 mm profile, MPE Series is available in values from 1-68 µH and handles currents up to 1.4 A. Low profile design makes inductors suited for handheld electronics applications such as PDAs, camcorders, and digital cameras. Available in 3 heights from 1.0-2.0 mm, MPI Series features enclosure suitable for environments up to 105°C. Units offer values from 1-1,000 µH and are rated up to 2.5 A. Applications range from portable electronics to desktop computers.

Stackpole Electronics, Inc. Announces New Non-shielded Power Inductor Offering



RALEIGH, N.C. (January 3, 2007) - Stackpole Electronics, Inc. has introduced an expansion of its non-shielded power inductor product line. The new MPE and MPI Series of power inductors provide solutions for the engineer with design limitations on height, footprint, and performance.

Power inductors are instrumental in protecting sensitive components from damaging over-current conditions, and have many applications in the consumer electronics industry and around I/O ports. Finding the right power inductor has always been a challenge since inductors are inherently bulky. Stackpole's new products provide greater versatility by delivering excellent electrical performance in a variety of package sizes and configurations.

"Stackpole has always provided inductors with excellent electrical parameters," says Kory Schroeder, Product Engineering Manager at Stackpole. "With the addition of the MPE and MPI Series, engineers can now expect that great performance in low-profile packages."

The first new series, the MPE Series, is designed with a very low profile of only 1.2mm, yet is still capable of handling large currents. The cost-effective MPE Series is available in values from 1µH to 68µH, and its high-density design allows it to handle currents up to 1.4A. The low profile makes it ideal for handheld electronics applications such as PDAs, camcorders, digital cameras, as well as the stringent requirements for LCD televisions. The MPE series is available on tape and reel with typical pricing around $0.27 each. Lead times are eight to 10 weeks, with samples available in three to four weeks.

The MPI Series is also low-profile and is available in three heights from 1.0m to 2.0mm. The MPI Series has a rugged enclosure making it suitable for environments up to 105ºC, well above the capabilities of standard power inductors. This enclosure provides an excellent pick-and-place surface for automated mounting. It is available in values from 1µH to 1000µH, and is rated for current up to 2.5A. The low profile makes it suitable for portable electronics, while the large inductance range and current handling meet the demanding requirements of desktop computer applications. The MPI series is available on tape and reel with typical pricing around $0.24 each. Lead times are 8 to 10 weeks, with samples available in three to four weeks.

These series expand Stackpole's non-shielded inductor offering, which previously focused on high-power and high-saturation inductors. Other non-shielded series, the PDH, PD, and PCD Series, are available in many case sizes from 0302 to 5022, inductance values from 0.18µH to 1000µH, and have saturation currents above 19A.
