Automotive Grade Inductor Gets Taller

Vishay Intertechnology’s automotive-grade IHLP inductor in the 4040 case size sports an increased profile of 5.4 mm. Offering a reduced DCR, increased current handling, higher inductance, and a high operating temperature range to +155°C, the Vishay Dale IHLP-4040ED-5A is suited for under the hood automotive applications.

 

The component features high efficiency with a typical DCR from 1.05 mΩ to 204 mΩ and a wide range of inductance values from 0.33 µH to 75.0 µH. The device provides current ratings to 36A and allegedly handles high transient current spikes without saturation.

 

The IHLP-4040ED-5A is optimized for energy storage in dc/dc converters up to 2 MHz. Packaged in a 100 % lead (Pb)-free shielded, composite construction that reduces buzz to ultra-low levels, the inductor offers high resistance to thermal shock, moisture, and mechanical shock. The IHLP-4040ED-5A is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green.

 

Samples and production quantities of the inductor are available now, with lead times of 10 weeks for large orders. Pricing is $0.86 each/10,000.
