Taiyo Yuden Expands Lineup of Multilayer Chip Bead Inductors for Smartphones

July 10, 2013 by Jeff Shepard

Taiyo Yuden Co., Ltd. has announced the expansion of its component series of chip bead inductors which are designed to meet state-of-the-art low noise requirements. These products are the multilayer chip bead inductor BK series P type, BKP1005 (1.0 x 0.5 x 0.5mm) and BKP0603 (0.6 x 0.3 x 0.3mm), used in power supplies, and the multilayer chip bead inductor BK series, BK0603 (0.6 x 0.3 x 0.3mm). The multilayer chip bead inductors are ferrite chip beads that address the high frequency noise generated in the power supply and signal circuits of small mobile devices such as smartphones.

The BKP1005EM221 product (with an impedance of 220Ω) improves on the rated current of the company’s conventional product BKP1005HM221 (with an equivalent value) by roughly 11%, from 900mA to 1000mA. The dc resistance has successfully been reduced by about 17%, from 0.180Ω to 0.150Ω, which increases functionality and efficiency of small mobile devices such as smartphones.

Taiyo Yuden’s lineup has expanded by 20 product numbers. They have added the 6 products to the new EM series for BKP1005, expanded BKP0603 by adding 3 HS series products and the new HM series of 3 products, and have added 8 products as the TS and TM series for BK0603. Production has manufactured for these products at TAIYO YUDEN (PHILIPPINES), CO., LTD. (Lapulapu City, Cebu) at an output pace of 20 million units per month for BKP1005EM, and 50 million units per month for both BKP0603HS•HM and BK0603TS•TM together. The sample price is $0.05 per unit for each of these.
