Vishay – Space saving IHLP inductor offers high temperature performance for automotive applications

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced a new AEC-Q200-qualified IHLP low profile, high current inductor in the 1616 case size that combines a high operating temperature to +155C with a low profile of 2mm to save space in automotive applications. The Vishay Dale IHLP-1616BZ-5A is optimized for energy storage in DC-DC converters up to 2MHz. It also provides excellent attenuation of noise in high current filtering applications up to the SRF of the inductor. With a continuous operating temperature of +155C, it can be used in under-the-hood applications including engine control units for noise suppression, filtering and DC-DC conversion, LED lighting, radar, LIDAR, optical and other sensors, along with entertainment and navigation systems. The device released today features high efficiency with typical DCR from 4mOhm to 102mOhm and a wide range of inductance values from 0.1µH to 4.7µH. The device provides rated current to 19A and handles high transient current spikes without saturation. Packaged in a 100% lead (Pb)-free shielded, composite construction that reduces buzz to ultra-low levels, the inductor offers high resistance to thermal shock, moisture, and mechanical shock. The device is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green.
