Automotive grade power inductor offers “superior magnetic shielding”
Able to operate at temperatures up to 150 degrees C, the Bourns Model SRN8040HA series of power inductors are the company’s latest temperature inductors.
The AEC-Q200-compliant inductors are constructed using the company’s magnetic silicon-based coating technology which is claimed to result in superior magnetic shielding and which supports higher operating temperatures.
Operating temperature range for the SRN8040HA inductor series is -40 to +150 degrees C. The inductors are designed to release lower magnetic field radiation compared to non-shielded inductors, and are also a more cost-efficient alternative to fully shielded ferrite-based inductors, said Bourns. They support high current capacity with saturation current Isat ranging from 1.3 to 15A and provide a heating current Irms range of 1.0 to 10.0A.
Typical applications are DC/DC converters and power supplies in automotive, consumer, industrial and telecomms electronics applications where greater inductor reliability is a frequent requirement.
The Bourns Model SRN8040HA semi-shielded power inductor series is available now and is RoHS-compliant and halogen free.
Bourns manufactures and supplies position and speed sensors, circuit protection solutions, magnetic components, microelectronic modules, panel controls and resistive products.
Headquartered in Riverside, California, USA, Bourns serves a broad range of markets, including but not limited to automotive, industrial, consumer, communications, medical (low/medium risk) and audio.
