Low-Profile, High-Current Power Inductors

April 05, 2016 by Jeff Shepard

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today announced that it has extended its IHHP series of low-profile, high-current power inductors with two new devices in the compact 3mm by 3mm 1212 case size. Offering a wide range of inductance values from 0.33µH to 10µH and low profiles of 0.8mm and 1.0mm, respectively, the Vishay Dale IHHP-1212ZH-01 and IHHP-1212AZ-01 are designed to save space and increase efficiency in portable electronics.

The devices released today are optimized for dc-dc converters and power supply modules for notebook PCs, tablets, and other handheld, battery-powered electronics. The magnetic-alloy power inductors offer low acoustic noise and provide magnetic shielding to prevent interference with nearby components.

The IHHP-1212ZH-01 and IHHP-1212AZ-01 feature maximum DCR down to 23 mΩ, high saturation current to 6.5 A, and a heat rating current up to 6.0 A. The devices operate over a temperature range from -55 to +125 degrees C and are packaged in an RoHS-compliant, 100 % lead (Pb)-free shielded construction.

Samples and production quantities of the new inductors are available now, with lead times of 10 weeks for large orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery starts at $0.20 per piece in 10,000-piece quantities.
