SMD power inductors feature small size

The LMIP series iron powder core SMD inductors feature a homogeneous construction with low loss and reduced inductance drop due to applied current, allowing for higher current ratings in low profile packages. The devices are available in six case sizes (2016, 2520, 4040, 5050, 7070), with inductance of 0.47 to 8.2 µH

Package height is between 1.2 and 5 mm. They are magnetically shielded and can handle from 1.55 to 60 A. Operating temperature is -40º to 125ºC and the work at up to 3 MHz. A LMIP2520M2R2ATA 2.2 µH, ±20%, 2.1 A example part costs about $0.26 ea/3,000.
