Inductor offers high temperature performance for commercial and industrial applications in extreme environments

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced a new 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 for commercial and industrial applications in extreme environments. With a frequency range up to 2MHz, the Vishay Dale IHLP-1616BZ-51 is optimized for energy storage in DC-DC converters and high current filtering up to the SRF of the inductor. Applications include notebooks, desktop PCs, and servers; low profile, high current power supplies, PMICs, and point of load (POL) converters; industrial and telecommunications power systems; and DC-DC converters for distributed power systems and FPGAs. The device 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 with a custom iron alloy that reduces buzz noise 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.
