A new suite of power inductor selection tools has been launched by Coilcraft that allows users to easily select the appropriate path for their particular search while also providing more application-specific performance data than previously available on any industry site. Len Crane, Coilcraft's Director of Technical Marketing, will be previewing the tool at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC 2017) in Tampa, Florida.

A range of high-current, low-loss power inductors was introduced by Coilcraft at electronica 2016. The XEL60xx family employs a design which offers low DCR (as low as 1.35mΩ) and low AC losses at high switching frequencies (2-5+MHz). It is currently available in two models, the XEL6030 and XEL6060, both featuring lower inductance values which have been optimised for high frequency applications.

Two microwave global model for the Coilcraft BCL and BCR RF and microwave inductor families have been developed by Modelithics and Coilcraft. Modelithics Microwave Global Models are high-accuracy equivalent circuit models that cover an entire component series within a single model.

Coilcraft has developed a new RF Magnetics Lab Kit to help educators bring practical, hands-on experience into their classrooms and instructional labs. Containing a selection of chip and air core inductors, LC filter modules and wideband transformers, the kit is offered free-of-charge to accredited Electrical Engineering programmes.

Measuring just 2.0x1.2x0.93mm, Coilcraft has claimed its 0805USBN series common mode chokes to be the lowest profile 0805 common mode chokes available. They offer up to 6.5GHz differential mode 3dB cutoff frequency and up to 35dB common mode noise attenuation across a wide frequency range up to GHz band, making them suitable for noise suppression in super high speed signal lines such as USB 3.x, HDMI 2.0, HDBaseT, DisplayPort and DVI.

Offered with current ratings up to 100A and inductance values from 85 to 370nH, the SLR family of high current, shielded power inductors has been unveiled by Coilcraft. The SLR1050, SLR1065, SLR1070, SLR1075 and SLR1190 inductors also feature a tight DCR tolerance (±5.4 to ±10%) for lossless, inductor DCR-based current sensing.

At the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC 2016) in California, USA, Coilcraft has introduced a series of low-loss power inductors. The XEL40xx series is offered with lower inductance values that have been fully optimised for high frequency applications. They also offer extremely low DCR down to 2.5mΩ and ultra-low AC losses, resulting in the highest efficiency across a range of frequencies from 2 to over 5MHz.

Coilcraft’s Director of Technical Marketing, Len Crane, will be participating in several technical sessions at APEC 2016 starting on Saturday, March 19th, when he will be a panelist at a special pre-show workshop titled, “Power Magnetics at High Frequency - Solving the Black Magic!” The workshop is being sponsored by the Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) and the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS). Mr. Crane will ...

Coilcraft has launched an all-new Common Mode Choke Finder web tool that allows users to search and compare hundreds of common mode filter options in just seconds. Search results are presented in a clear table sorted by the highest impedance or attenuation, depending on the user’s input.

Designed for load current measurement and control in switching power supplies and overload/short-circuit protection, a series of surface mount current sense transformers have been unveiled by Coilcraft. The CST7030 transformers measure just 5.2 X 7.0mm (with a maximum height of 3.0mm) and sense up to 20A of current at frequencies between 10kHz and 1MHz.

Optimised for active clamp forward converters, including use in PoE PSE and pre-standard PD devices, Coilcraft has introduced the PoE120PL series of high-efficiency planar transformers. The series is suitable for 60-120W applications such as thin clients, monitors, industrial Ethernet, IPTV, building management, nurse call systems, point-of-sale terminals and information kiosks. They are also suited for 90W PoE++ PDs.

Developed for use in mobile devices and cellular infrastructure equipment, Coilcraft’s recently introduced 0402DF Series chip inductors offer higher inductance values and significantly lower DC resistance than other 0402-sized inductors, making them suitable devices for RF choke and filtering applications.

In order to help educators provide a hands-on experience in their classrooms and instructional labs, Coilcraft has announced its Power Magnetics Lab Kit. The kit contains a broad selection of through-hole power inductors for easy soldering and is offered free-of-charge to accredited Electrical Engineering programmes.

Highlighting their recently expanded line of BCL/BCR series conical inductors, Coilcraft will be at IMS 2015 next week in Phoenix. The products are offered in two configurations, the BCR series has a full-length cap to protect the coil and provide a large surface for pick and place and the BCL series features 'flying leads' to allow precise positioning and adjustment of the mounting angle.

Coilcraft has announced its MLC75xx series of shielded, high-current power inductors, offering Isat ratings up to 59.2A and DC resistance down to 1.2mΩ for greater efficiency. Their soft saturation characteristics mean that the devices are suitable for VRM/VRD designs and other applications with occasional overcurrent requirements.

This week at APEC in North Carolina, Coilcraft has announced that it is launching the CST2010 series of current sense transformers in Booth 1107. The devices detect switching current up to 40A over a frequency range of 50-500kHz while also isolating circuits electrically, resulting in up to ten times lower power dissipation than current sense resistors.

  Available in three performance levels: the RFC0807, RFC0810 and RFC1010 series, Coilcraft’s RFC leaded power inductors offer a low-cost, high-efficiency option for SMPS applications.
