2mm-High Inductors Feature 155C Operating Temperature

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today introduced a new IHLP® low profile, high current inductor in the 1616 case size that combines a high operating temperature to +155 degrees C with a low profile of 2mm for commercial and industrial applications in extreme environments.

With a frequency range up to 2MHz, the Vishay Dale IHLP-1616BZ-51 is optimized for energy storage in dc-dc converters and high-current filtering up to the self-resonant frequency (SRF) of the inductor. Applications include notebooks, desktop PCs, and servers; low profile, high current power supplies, PMICs, and point of load (POL) converters; industrial and telecommunications power systems; and dc-dc converters for distributed power systems and FPGAs.

The device released today features high efficiency with typical DCR from 4.0mΩ to 102.0mΩ and a wide range of inductance values from 0.10µH to 4.7µH. The IHLP-1616BZ-51 provides rated current to 19.0A and handles high transient current spikes without saturation.

Packaged in a 100 % lead (Pb)-free shielded, composite construction with a custom iron alloy that reduces buzz noise to ultra low levels, the inductor offers high resistance to thermal shock, moisture, and mechanical shock. The IHLP-1616BZ-51 is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green.

Samples and production quantities of the new inductor are available now, with lead times of 10 weeks for large orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery only in 10,000-piece quantities begins at $0.50 per piece.
