Vishay Intertechnology enlarges its IHSR series high saturation commercial inductors with a compact, 4 mm x 4 mm 1616 case size component. Designed for multi-phase, high current power supplies, the IHSR-1616AB-01 is said to offer a 50 % reduction in DCR over typical power inductors and standard DCR tolerance of 5%, with 3% tolerance available for more accurate current sensing.
With a frequency range up to 5 MHz, the component is optimized for energy storage in dc/dc converters and high current filtering up to the self-resonant frequency (SRF) of the inductor (see table below). Applications include notebooks, desktop PCs, and servers; low profile, high current power supplies and filters; and DC/DC converters for distributed power systems.
The inductor offers high temperature operation to +125 °C, rated current to 62 A, and handles high transient current spikes without saturation. Samples and production quantities are available now, with lead times of 12 weeks for large orders. Pricing is $0.23 each/4,000. For deeper insights, peruse the IHSR-1616AB-01 datasheet.
