Power inductors increase efficiency

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has expanded its IHHP series of low-profile, high-current power inductors with three new devices in 0603, 0805, and 0806 case sizes. The Vishay Dale IHHP-0603ZH-01, IHHP-0805ZH-01, and IHHP-0806ZH-01 combine low direct current resistance (DCR) and core losses with a maximum height of 0.8 mm, contributing to increased efficiency and space savings in internet of things (IoT) and portable devices.

Key features include a maximum DCR down to 24 mΩ, high saturation current to 5.2 A, and a heat rating current up to 4.9 A. The operating temperature range is -55°C to 125 °C. The devices are RoHS compliant and 100% lead (Pb)-free shielded and feature composite powdered-iron-alloy construction.

 The magnetic-alloy power inductors offer low acoustic noise and provide magnetic shielding to prevent interference with nearby components,” said Vishay.
