High-current inductor suits automotive applications
Providing inductance values in the range of 0.47-22µH, Vishay has introduced the IHLP-2525CZ-8A low-profile, high-current inductor. The AEC-Q200 qualified device serves as a high-performing, space- and power-saving solution for voltage regulator modules (VRM) and DC/DC converters in high-temperature automotive applications.
End products include engine and transmission control units, diesel injection drivers, entertainment and navigation systems, noise suppression for motors, windshield wipers, HID and LED lighting, heating and ventilation blowers, and power seats and mirrors.
The IHLP-2525CZ-8A handles high transient current spikes without hard saturation. Packaged in a 100% lead (Pb)-free shielded, composite construction that reduces buzz noise to ultra-low levels, the device is specified for an operating temperature range from +55 to +180 °C, with high resistance to thermal shock, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. The inductor is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green.
Offered in the 2525 case size with a low profile of 3.0mm, samples and production quantities of the automotive-grade inductor are available now, with lead times of 10 weeks for large orders.
