Vishay expands IHLP inductor family

Four new additions to the IHLP family of low-profile, surface-mount inductors were announced by Vishay Intertechnology Inc.

The family now includes standard inductance values of 5.6?H, 6.8?H, 8.2?H and 10?H, with a tolerance of ±20 percent, typical DCR values as low as 0.47 milliohm, saturation currents from 15.5A to 120A, and low losses at frequencies up to 5MHz.

The company said the patented Vishay Dale IHLP series offers designers higher-performing, power- and space-efficient inductor solutions that measure 12.9-by-13.2-by-6.5mm. Each inductor is packaged in a self-shielded, composite construction that reduces buzz noise to ultra-low levels while meeting military specifications for resistance to thermal shock, moisture, mechanical shock and vibration.

Target applications include dc-to-dc conversion and energy storage in end products such as computers, servers, telecom systems and automotive electronics. In these systems, IHLP devices handle high transient spikes without saturation and at full rated current provide an inductance drop of less than 20 percent, Vishay explained, significantly less roll-off than ferrite materials. All inductors in the IHLP family are 100 percent lead free and meet RoHS standards.

Samples and production quantities of the new IHLP-5050FD-01 inductors are already available. Lead time for production quantities is seven weeks.
