AEC-Q200 Molded Metal Composite SMT Power Inductors

January 27, 2020 by Paul Shepard

NIC Components Corp. is pleased to announce the release of the NPIM_PE series of extended temperature (+155°C rated) automotive grade molded metal composite SMT power inductors. The NPIM_PE series meets the requirements of AEC-Q200 and is available in nine cases sizes ranging from 5.7mm x 5.2mm to 23.5mm x 22.0mm (L x W) sizes with component height of 2.8mm to 12.6mm.

The NPIM_PE series is designed for use for high current dc-dc conversion applications in automotive systems, power supplies, industrial equipment, motor drives, LED drivers, networking, and communications applications. NPIM_PE series is RoHS and REACH compliant, halogen-free and reflow soldering heat rated to +260°C.

The NPIM_PE series covers inductance value range of 0.1uH to 100uH in ±20% tolerance and features high saturation current ratings up to 115A. Extended operating temperature range from -55°C to +155°C (ambient + self-heating) means the NPIM_PE series is suitable for both low and high-temperature operating environments.
