SMT Inductors have saturation currents up to 40 A.

Press Release Summary:




Measuring 0.255 x 0.270 x 0.071 in., devices in IHLP-2525AH-01 series operate over frequencies to 5 MHz and feature saturation current ranges from 8-40 A. Their lead-free, shielded, composite construction resists thermal shock, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. At full rated current, inductors feature inductance drop of less than 20%. Typ DCR values range 3.0-76.6 milliohm over standard inductance range of 0.1-4.7 µH with tolerance of ±20%.

Vishay Adds to IHLP Family of High-Current, Surface-Mount Inductors: New Devices Feature Saturation Currents up to 40 A, Typical DCR Values Down to 3.0 milliohm, and Low 1.8-mm Height Profile



MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA - January 19, 2005 - A new series of low-profile surface-mount inductors in the 2525 package size has been announced by Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH). Devices in the IHLP-2525AH-01 series are specified for saturation currents up to 40 A and offer typical DCR values as low as 3.0 mOhm in a package measuring 1.8 mm high.

These new additions to the patented IHLP series of devices provide lower DCR values than conventional solutions. Devices in the low-profile Vishay Dale IHLP-2525AH-01 series offer higher-performing, space- and power-saving solutions for dc-to-dc converter and energy storage applications in end products including computers, servers, telecom, and automotive electronics, as well as in high-current power supplies and point of load (POL) converters, distributed power systems, and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

In addition to their 1.8-mm [0.071-in.] height profile, the new surface-mount inductors feature a compact footprint with dimensions of 6.47 mm by 6.86 mm [0.255 in. by 0.270 in.]. The series' saturation current ranges from 8 A to 40 A, and typical DCR values range from 3.0 mOhm to 76.6 mOhm over a standard inductance range of 0.1 µH to 4.7 µH, with a tolerance of ±20%. At full rated current, IHLP inductors feature an inductance drop of less than 20% - a lower inductance roll-off than is provided by ferrite materials.

IHLP-2525AH-01 inductors handle high transient current spikes without saturation and operate over a frequency range up to 5 MHz. Packaged in a 100% lead (Pb)-free, shielded, composite construction that reduces noise buzz to ultra-low levels, the new devices are specified for an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C with high resistance to thermal shock, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration.

Samples and production quantities are available now. Lead time for production quantities is 8 to 10 weeks.
