New Surface Mount Inductors for Power Applications


"SMP 5057" Inductors Provide High Current Handling Capability

4 November 2002, Gowanda, NY (USA) - Gowanda Electronics has introduced a new series of surface mount inductors designed for use in power applications where high current handling capability and surface mount packaging are required. This new SMP 5057 Series was showcased by Gowanda Electronics at the Power Electronics Technology Exhibition and Conference in Rosemont, Illinois (USA) last week.

This SMP 5057 Series of surface mount inductors is specifically targeted for use in DC/DC converters and switching regulated power supplies. The rugged construction enables the SMP 5057 inductors to be used in these and many other power supply applications where higher current handling capability and durability are important.

Specific applications include microprocessor and distributed power applications - including power supplies, power regulators, and DC to DC converters - especially in test & measurement equipment, automotive electronics, medical diagnostic equipment, and industrial process control equipment. Other applications include use in security systems, instrumentation, bar code and laboratory analysis equipment.

Technical specifications for products in Gowanda's SMP 5057 inductor series include: inductance from 3.9 +/- 20% microHenries (at 1 kHz) to 100,000 +/- 10% microHenries (at 100 kHz), current ratings from 9.75 to 0.090 DC Amps and saturation current from 24.0 to 0.146 DC Amps.

Gowanda Electronics also offers custom designs in the SMP 5057 series in order to meet the specific requirements of an application. For design details or custom requirements contact Gowanda Electronics at (716) 532-2234 or check the company website at www.gowanda.com. Pricing for the SMP 5057 series is $1.60/unit (US Funds) in production quantities.

This new SMP 5057 inductor series complements Gowanda's extensive range of leading edge designs for power and RF applications, including its most recently introduced "SMT 4015" Inductors with Improved EMI Performance & Higher Current Handling, "SMT 1803" Smaller Inductors for Wireless Devices, "SMP 1812" High Current Rating Power Inductors, "SMRF 1812" Robust Design Surface Mount RF Inductors, "SMT35A" Inductors WVth Versatility and Efficiency, "SMRF 2007" Vertical Surface Mount RF Inductors, "SMP 2007" Miniature Vertical Surface Mount Power Inductors, "CC" Solder-Friendly Surface Mount Inductors and "CMF2" Surface Mount Common Mode Filters.
