Pulse Electronics has announced the release of a family of six new ultra-low profile SMT shielded inductors for compact point-of-load and mobile devices. With mounted height profiles of 1.0 mm to 3.2 mm, these inductors are ideal for today’s mobile computing, home automation, portable POS, and other small handheld devices.
These new, ultra-low profile inductors have core geometries and construction that enable high currents with no radiated magnetic fields to interfere with associated components. By eliminating flux leakage, these inductors have a high energy storage density and excellent EMI performance. The ultra-low-profile design has a metalized core termination that provides excellent shock resistance characteristics without impacting the height of the part. The family consists of six series of parts, the PA4330, PA4331, PA4332, PA4333, PA4334, and PA4335, which vary by footprint, current rating, and inductance range. The inductors are available in EIA standardized tape-and-reel packaging.
