Planar Choke Performs Like Wirewounds In Less Space

Vishay Intertechnology’s IPLA 32 high current planar choke inductor offers the same performance as wirewound devices in a fraction of the space. The component measures a paltry 31 mm x 43 mm x 22.2 mm and is rated for currents up to 110A.

 

With a recommended frequency range of 100 kHz to 800 kHz, the IPLA 32 forecasts more compact and lightweight dc/dc circuitry in electric and hybrid cars, off-road vehicles including forklifts, and all manner of embedded systems. The IPLA 32 is available in standard inductance values of 1 μH, 2 μH, 3 μH, and 4 μH. Magnetically shielded for low EMI, the inductor features a high self-resonance frequency and stable performance versus temperature.

 

In addition to the standard versions, the IPLA 32 is available with various pin-out designs, current ratings, and inductance values. The device features an operating temperature range of 55°C to +125 °C and typical thermal resistance from 2 W/°C to 10.5 W/°C depending on the type of heatsink used. 3D models are available to assist the design-in process.

 

Samples and production quantities of the Vishay Sfernice IPLA 32 planar choke inductor are available now, with lead times of 12 weeks for larger orders. Pricing is $7.70 each/100. For more specs, checkout the IPLA 32 datasheet.
