New power inductors save space and increase efficiency

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc has expanded its IHHP series of low profile, high current power inductors with three new devices in compact 0603, 0805, and 0806 case sizes. Combining low DCR and core losses with a low maximum height of 0.8mm, the Vishay Dale IHHP-0603ZH-01, IHHP-0805ZH-01, and IHHP-0806ZH-01 are created to save space and improve efficiency in IoT devices and portable electronics.

The devices are optimised for DC-DC converters and power supply modules for notebook PCs, tablets, IoT, and other handheld battery-powered electronics. The magnetic-alloy power inductors provide low acoustic noise and offer magnetic shielding to stop interference with nearby components.

The devices feature maximum DCR down to 24mOhm, high saturation current to 5.2A, and a heat rating current up to 4.9A. They operate over a temperature range from -55C to +125C and are packaged in an RoHS-compliant, 100% lead (Pb)-free shielded, composite powdered iron alloy construction.
