When choosing a conductor for use in an electronic circuit, there are several important properties that may need to be considered. The wire thickness and resistivity determines the current carrying ...

Vishay has introduced a pair of 1008 (2.5 x 2 x 1.2mm) power inductor types. “The commercial IHLL-1008AB-1Z and Automotive Grade IHLP-1008ABEZ-5A achieve the same performance as the next-smallest IHLP ...

Inductors are deceptively simple. However, a closer look reveals underlying complexity. How else can you explain the many types of core materials, types of windings, sizes, geometries and wide range ...

Inductors of all types — whether discrete, chip, bead or coil — are trying to keep pace with the demands of modern power-supply designs by using diverse forms and materials, such as thin films, ...

Over the past year, power inductor manufacturers have been tackling some of the biggest challenges in high-temperature applications, particularly automotive. Many of the newest products are making ...
