CoEv Magnetics Intros DXM Series Power Inductors

CoEv Magnetics, a unit of Tyco Electronics (Menlo Park, CA), announced its new DXM Series of lead-free power inductors. The low-voltage, high-current inductor is designed for switching power supplies and portable electronics. The magnetic component collects, filters and smoothes ac ripple current in dc circuits.

The inductor’s low-profile design minimizes board real estate requirements and maximizes power density while providing co-planarity. The design of the DXM Series reduces failure modes often found with plating and solder-terminated wires and leads, and the multi-gap technology used to manufacture the device also reduces fringing flux and stray field emissions. The core material is not susceptible to thermal aging, and provides a mean time between failure of greater than one million hours of operation.

With current handling ranges of up to 30A, and inductance ranges of 0.20µH to 10µH, the DXM Series was developed to assist power supply design engineers with designing more power efficient circuits in high-power applications. The lead-free device utilizes a 200°C insulation system and is well suited for operating in environments with a -40°C to +155°C temperature range. It is currently available in a 13mm x 13mm x 6.0mm size.

Pricing is $0.45 in quantities of 100,000 units. Delivery is in four to six weeks ARO.
