Vishay Debuts LPE-3325-CST Series Transformers

August 04, 2003 by Jeff Shepard

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. (Malvern, PA) announced the release of the new LPE-3325-CST Series of surface-mount, current-sensing transformers featuring five standard turns ratios from 30 to 125 in a lead (Pb)-free construction. Designed to provide optimal performance at frequencies of 100kHz and greater, the new LPE-3325-CST is intended for switching power supplies, ac current detection and output supplies for control circuitry in household appliances and medical and office equipment.

Available with turns ratios of 30, 40, 50, 70 and 125, the transformer features secondary inductance ranging from 180µH to 3,000µH at 100kHz and 0.1V. All five configurations are rated for 6A. Each transformer measures 0.265in x 0.323in x 0.205in (6.73mm x 8.20mm x 5.21mm). Custom configurations are available on request. The new devices are specified for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +130°C and are compatible with surface-mount process temperatures.

Samples and production quantities of the LPE-3325-CST Series transformers are available now. Lead time for production quantities is 8 to 10 weeks. Pricing for delivery in 1,000-piece quantities is $1.
