Automotive-grade chip inductor series features high current and high inductance

Bourns, Inc. has announced its CWF1610A, CWF1612A and CWF2012A Series chip inductors. These AEC-Q200-compliant, automotive-grade inductors provide high inductance, high current and high self-resonant frequency in a compact form factor. The features allow excellent power handling and filtering at high frequency, making the three new chip inductor series superior power conversion solutions in RF signal processing, resonant circuits, decoupling, noise filters and low current DC power lines found in a wide variety of automotive, power, audio and mobile designs.

The CWF1610A, CWF1612A, and CWF2012A Series have wire-wound construction on a ferrite core, providing minimal resistance and excellent noise filtering across a wide frequency range. For example, the CWF1610A Series offers a saturation current of 200mA up to 1700mA, a rated current of 200mA to 1400mA, and an extended operating temperature range of -55C to +125C.
