Coilcraft Introduces XEL50xx Ultra Low-loss Power Inductors for High-frequency Applications

by

New XEL50xx Family of high-performance, molded power inductors offer exceptionally low DC resistance and ultra-low AC losses, greatly improving power converter efficiency at high frequencies (2 to 5+ MHz) and high ripple current

The use of high switching frequencies or high ripple current allows a corresponding lower inductance value, which results in a physically smaller part for the same electrical specs. XEL50xx Family inductors measure just 5.28 x 5.48 mm with a maximum height of 3.2 mm.  The XEL50xx Family is currently available in two models, the XEL5020 and XEL5030. A third model, the XEL5050 is expected late Q2 2018. The XEL5020 is available in six inductance values from 0.10 to 1.0 µH, with current ratings up to 39 Amps. The XEL5030 has 10 values from 0.13 to 4.7 µH and current ratings up to 44 Amps. All models offer soft saturation characteristics to withstand high current spikes and have no thermal aging issues.

Coilcraft’s New 0402-sized Ceramic Chip Inductors Provide Q Factors up to 162 at 2.4 GHz

by

New 0402DC Series ceramic wirewound chip inductors offer the industry’s highest Q factors in an 0402 (1005) size – up to 162 at 2.4 GHz – for super low loss in high frequency circuits.

It is offered in 26 standard inductance values ranging from 3.0 to 120 nH. An additional 73 values are available upon request, including 0.1 nH increments from 2.8 nH to 10 nH. Most values are available with 2% tolerance.  The 0402DC Series features a wirewound construction for extremely high self resonance – up to 16 GHz. It also offers DCR as low as 37 mΩ, significantly lower than other 0402-sized chip inductors.  0402DC Series chip inductors are ideal for impedance matching circuits for low band (700 – 960MHz) and high band (1710 – 2700MHz) antennas. Its 0402-sized package is perfect for smartphones and tablets.  0402DC Series inductors feature RoHS compliant, matte tin over nickel over silver-platinum-glass frit terminations and offer a maximum reflow temperature of 260°C.  http://bit.ly/2n1Rvqy
