Pulse Electronics Molded Powder Inductors - New Product Introduction

Pulse Electronics is expanding its line of inductors to include additional low audible and leakage flux noise, soft-saturation power inductors for the automotive, industrial, communications, and computing markets. This product expansion includes a total of nine new series of molded powder inductors that range in size from 3.7 x 3.4 x 1.2 mm up to 14 x 12.8 x 3.5 mm.  With inductances ranging from 100 nH to 70 µH and peak currents up to 65 A, these new inductors are ideal for high current, non-isolated DC/DC power converters and voltage regulators in applications including network gear, wireless small cells, servers, lighting, USB charging, power over Ethernet (PoE), infotainment systems, and control boards. The following video presents a brief overview of Pulse Electronics molded powder inductor offering.

These new Pulse Electronics molded powder inductors are available in both commercial-grade (part numbers PA540x and PA544x) and automotive-grade (part numbers PM540x and PM544x) which are qualified to the AEC-Q200 standard.  Additionally, there are multiple competitive cross-references for these parts which aid the designer with a drop-in replacement of other manufacturer’s parts in their systems.  In addition to their high current capability, these devices feature a low direct current resistance (DCR), a high current density, a high energy density (up to 650 µJ/mm³), and are RoHS compliant.

So, if you need high-quality, low noise power inductors for your application, Pulse Electronics’ new line of molded powder inductors may be just what you’re looking for.
