Compact metal power inductors handle up to 6 A

The VLS201610HBX and VLS252010HBX metal power inductors feature a very low profile of just 1.0 mm and rated currents of up to 6.0 A. They have footprints of 2.0 x 1.6 mm and 2.5 x 2.0 mm and offer rated currents of up to 6.0 A dc. 

The inductors use a magnetic metal core material with a high saturation flux density to obtain up to 80% higher current capability than standard parts. They operate over -40° to 105°C. An example 201610 device at 1.0 µH has 0.053 Ω max DCR and handles 2.8 A with a 30% drop. Operating frequency is 30 to over 100 MHz.
