New Rugged Inductors for Automotive Applications

Jun 11 2009

EPCOS presents an improved and particularly rugged version of SMT power inductors for automotive electronics. Their design, which features a baseplate with injection-molded termination clips, increases the mechanical stability and improves the temperature distribution during the solder process. Lands with a nickel barrier-layer coating satisfy the tougher demands for use in automotive electronics.

The new series currently comprises six types: four shielded (P series) and two unshielded (M series). Depending on the type, their dimensions range between 7.3 x 7.3 x 4.5 mm3 and 12.5 x 12.5 x 8.5 mm3. The components are available with inductances from 0.82 to 1000 µH, and have a current handling capability of up to 15 A. Their series resistance is only 5.5 mO at low inductances. All types are designed for operating temperatures of up to 150 °C and pass a vibration test of 10 g for 72 h. They also satisfy the requirements of the handling-drop test to ISO 16750-3. The new SMT power inductors are qualified to the AEC-Q200 standard and satisfy the solder profile to JEDEC-020-C.

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.
