Power inductors for hand-held applications that require low component height introduced by Murata Power

MANSFIELD, Mass., 30 June 2011. Murata Power Solutions in Mansfield, Mass., is introducing the 2700 and 2700T series of low-profile surface-mount power inductors for use in applications that require low component height, such as handheld equipment and notebook computers. The 2700 series inductors measure 9 by 7.7 by 1.65 millimeters, and offers inductance values from 4.7 to 1000 micro Henrys (uH) and a device-dependent maximum DC current as strong as 1.6 amps. DC resistance values range from 0.1 to 14 ohms for the 1 milli-Henry (mH) part.The slightly smaller 2700T series power electronics devices provides inductance values in the range 1 to 330 uH and with a maximum operating current as strong as two amps. DC resistance in these power conditioning devices is 80 milli-ohms for the 1 uH part and increases to 15 ohms for the 330 uH inductor.The 2700/2700T series operate in temperature from -40 to 125 degrees Celsius. Custom inductance values of either series are available. The inductors come in tape and reel for high-volume automated surface mount assembly. The device's peak reflow solder temperature is 260 C per J-STD-020D.
