New flat-wire surface-mount storage choke operates to 150C

Latest from Würth Elektronik is a new SMT-capable storage choke. The is pick-and-place and reflow-capable WE-FLAT-I flat wire power inductor is a storage choke with low DC resistance, high current rating, high saturation current magnetization and has operating temperature ranges from -40C to +150C. A narrow air gap in the leg reduces the stray field. With its low, compact construction, the component offers high planarity and three-point attachment to the board. The component, which is manufactured according to ISO/TS 16949 and AEC-Q 200-certified, is suitable for automated assembly and is good for applications such as buck converters, boost converters, fly-back converters and EMC filters, says the company.
