Vishay Adds IHLP-4040DZ-15 to IHLP Family of Inductors

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. (Malvern, PA) announced that it has extended its IHLP family of low-profile, high-current inductors with a new device that offers low DCR/µH in a 0.402 in x 0.402 in package with a low 0.157 in height profile. The new IHLP-4040DZ-15 is a high-performance, space-saving, and power-saving solution that features DCR values down to 0.50 mΩ at 0.19 µH. The new Vishay Dale power inductor is intended for dc-dc converter applications in end products, including next-generation mobile devices; notebooks, desktop computers, servers, and graphics cards; and low-profile, high-current power supplies and point-of-load converters. It will also be used in distributed power systems and to regulate power for field-programmable gate arrays.

In addition to providing low DCR and high current ratings, the IHLP-4040DZ-15 handles high transient current spikes without saturation, and operates over a frequency range up to 1 MHz. Saturation current and typical DCR values for the inductor range up to 44 A and from 0.50 mΩ to 5.20 mΩ, respectively, over an inductance range of 0.19 µH to 2 µH. Inductance tolerance for the new device is 20 percent. The RoHS-compliant IHLP-4040DZ-15 is rated for an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C. It features a 100-percent lead-free, shielded, composite construction that reduces buzz noise to ultra-low levels.

Samples and production quantities of the new IHLP-4040DZ-15 are available now, with a lead time of eight weeks for larger orders. Pricing for US delivery in 500-piece reels starts at $0.65 per piece for quantities of 10,000 pieces or more.
