Waldenburg (Germany) – With the WE-MXGA inductor Würth Elektronik presents an AEC-Q200-certified component qualified for automotive applications with several impressive properties. The inductor features RDC values up to 25 percent lower and a saturation current up to 47 percent higher compared to other components currently available on the market. The compact inductor is well suited for use in lighting, infotainment systems, DC/DC converters (48 V/12 V), battery-management systems, ADAS modules, and LED headlights.
The compact, magnetically shielded SMT storage inductor WE-MXGA with the highest power density is particularly well suited for high-frequency switch-mode power supplies in modern power electronics, especially for switching regulators based on the new GaN and SiC transistor technologies. The inductor‘s low losses and high efficiency are the result of an optimized wire geometry and the innovative pressed nanocrystalline powder core material.
Two form factors
The new power inductors are available in two versions, in form factor 4020 with inductances of 0.16 to 4.7 µH and in form factor 5030 with inductances of 0.22 to 15 µH. With a current capability of up to 28 A and an operating voltage up to 80 VDC, the inductor has an operating temperature range from -40 °C up to 125 °C.
The WE-MXGA 4020 and WE-MXGA 5030 components are now available ex stock. Free-of-charge samples are available on request.
