Würth Elektronik Releases SMD Power Ferrite for High Current Applications

Würth Elektronik announced a new WE-MPSB series of high-performance SMD power ferrites utilizing multilayer technology, which were designed specifically for the suppression of electromagnetic interference in power supplies and dc-dc converters. According to the company, in contrast to common SMD ferrites, these components provide high impedance even at high nominal currents.

The series includes 11 components in the sizes 1612, 1812, 2220 and 3312 for what are described as impressive nominal currents of up to 10A. A high impedance of up to 550Ω is achieved at a frequency of 100MHz. The 1612 design features a very low RDC of only 0.004Ω, which is well suited for power supplies.

Würth Elektronik specifies a temperature range from -55 to +125°C. All products are on stock. Samples are free of charge.
