Wire Wound Inductors feature current rating of 1,730 mA.
Press Release Summary:
Measuring 6 x 6 mm with 1.2 mm profile, NR6012 Series targets DC-DC converter choke coil applications in LCD panels of notebook PCs. Family of 11 models offers DC resistance from 0.092-2.18 W and inductance ratings from 3-100 µH. Sleeveless, square-core winding eliminates wasted space and thickens lead wire inside inductor for low DC resistance, while ferrite-based resin covering enables current rating of 1 A at 10 µH inductance.

Taiyo Yuden's Low Profile (1.2mm) Wire-Wound Inductors Offer Industry's Highest Current Rating for Component Size
New 6 x 6mm NR6012 series inductors target DC-DC converter choke coil applications in LCD panels of notebook PCs
SCHAUMBURG, IL--July 18, 2006--TAIYO YUDEN (U.S.A.), INC. announces the NR6012 series of low-profile (1.2mm-height) 6 x 6mm power inductors for DC-DC converter choke coil applications in the LCD panels of notebook PCs. The 11 models (see table below) in the NR6012 series offer a broad selection of low DC resistance (0.092-2.18 Ohms) and high inductance ratings (3-100µH), as well as the industry's highest current rating (1730mA) for the 6 x 6mm device form factor.
In notebook PC applications, LCD power circuits require DC-DC converters with high current handling capability and a stable DC voltage supply. Posing a design challenge, the demand for lower-profile mobile equipment is driving a corresponding need for choke coils--the main component in DC-DC converters--with higher current capacity and a lower physical profile. However, boosting current capability necessitates increasing the size of the core and thickening the lead wire inside the inductor, both of which make reducing the size and profile of the device very difficult.
TAIYO YUDEN responded to this design challenge by departing from the conventional round drum/sleeve core technology used by typical inductor designs. The company instead developed a unique sleeveless square-core winding that successfully eliminates all wasted space and thickens the lead wire inside the inductor to achieve the lowest possible DC resistance. Moreover, the NR6012 series' special ferrite-based resin covering further reduces component size and enables the industry's highest available current rating of 1A at 10µH inductance.
Soon to be expanded by the addition of part numbers with even higher current ratings, the existing NR6012 wire-wound inductor product line-up includes:
