April 18, 2017 - TT Electronics, a provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, launched the HM73E-10 series of SMT miniature power inductors targeted at applications in the automotive industry. The inductors are ideal for DC-DC applications where size is critical and their AEC-Q200 certification assures performance and reliability levels that automotive applications demand.
The inductors have been designed to maximize the inductance value and high saturation current for better performance. They also have a lower DC resistance and a lower temperature rise performance than their predecessors.
Currently six models are available embracing current ratings from 15 to 65 A and they are able to operate over a temperature range of -50 to +155C. At 100 kHZ, inductance ratings range from 3.76 uH for the smallest inductor to 0.19 uH for the largest, 65 A rated unit.
All of the inductors in the series feature a small 11.5 x 10.6 mm footprint size, with a height of 5.9 mm.
RoHS compliant and AEC-Q200 certified, TT Electronics' HM73E-10 series inductors will be of interest to system designers, component engineers and design engineers for use in automotive powertrains, engine and transmission control, hybrid electric vehicles, start-and-stop system and electric power steering applications. Industrial applications include switch mode power supplies, automation systems and DC/DC converters.
