Würth Elektronik Introduces Power Inductors for Power Supply Applications
Würth Elektronik Expands WE-XHMI SMT Power Inductor Portfolio with Eight New Compact and High-Efficiency Options
BonChip Electronics, a trusted distributor of Würth Elektronik passive components, is excited to announce the significant expansion of the WE-XHMI SMT power inductor series. In addition to the existing five package sizes, Würth Elektronik introduces eight new compact yet remarkably efficient inductors, empowering designers with a wider range of options for demanding applications.
Unmatched Performance in a Compact Footprint
The new WE-XHMI inductors deliver exceptional performance in a space-saving design:
- High Current Capacity: These inductors boast a saturation current of up to 56A, making them ideal for applications requiring high current handling capabilities.
- Superior Transient Current Performance: Effectively handle high transient current spikes, ensuring reliable operation under peak load conditions.
- Diverse Package Options: The expanded series now includes eight new compact packages (4020, 4030, 4040, 5020, 5030, 5050, 7030, and 7070) alongside existing smaller packages and the 70xx sizes that fill a gap in the previous portfolio. This comprehensive selection allows for optimal design flexibility based on space constraints.
- Enhanced Electrical Properties: The new packages benefit from significant improvements in electrical characteristics such as DC resistance (RDC), saturation current (Isat), and rated current (Ir).
Ideal Applications for Demanding Power Electronics
The WE-XHMI series is perfectly suited for a variety of power electronics applications:
- DC/DC Converters: Ensure efficient power conversion in DC/DC converters within power supplies.
- Point-of-Load Converters (POLs): Deliver stable power to individual loads at the point of use within electronic systems.
- High-Current Filters: Effectively filter out unwanted noise currents in high-current applications.
- Industrial Computers: Provide reliable power filtering and conversion for industrial computing systems.
- Mainboards and Graphics Cards: Maintain stable power delivery in high-performance computer components.
Exceptional Efficiency and Temperature Stability
The WE-XHMI series prioritizes efficiency and reliable operation:
- AEC-Q200 Qualification: Complies with the AEC-Q200 automotive quality standard, ensuring suitability for demanding automotive applications.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Functions reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +125°C, accommodating various environmental conditions.
- Low Winding Resistance: The use of a molded flat wire inductor design significantly reduces winding resistance, thereby enhancing efficiency.
- Composite Core Material: The combination of a flat wire coil and a composite core material minimizes copper losses and ensures stable performance even with temperature fluctuations.
- Reduced Skin Effect: The flat wire design offers a larger surface area for the same cross-section, effectively reducing the skin effect and further improving efficiency.
