Highly-efficient shielded power inductors suit VRM and VRD designs

Mouser is now stocking Coilcraft’s MLC75xx series shielded power inductors which feature soft saturation characteristics, making them ideal for voltage regulator module (VRM) and voltage regulator down (VRD) designs and other applications with occasional over-current requirements such as power supplies and microprocessor power. With an exceptionally low DC resistance of only 1.2mohm, the highly-efficient inductors also have an excellent current handling of up to 59A. Devices measure just 7mm x 7.5mm, with a profile of 4.2mm. Seven inductance values are offered, ranging from 0.10 to 2.17µH. The RoHS-compliant, halogen-free MLC75xx inductors employ tin-silver (96.5/3.5) over copper terminations and can withstand a maximum reflow temperature of 260C. Coilcraft uses proprietary materials and construction techniques to avoid thermal aging issues associated with competing iron-powder-core inductors.
