Vishay Intertechnology Launches New Automotive Grade Wire Wound Power Inductor
Vishay Intertechnology recently unveiled its latest advancement in automotive technology: the Automotive Grade IHDF edge-wound, through-hole inductor, known as the IHDF-1300AE-1A. This new component is engineered to handle impressive rated currents up to 72 A and saturation currents reaching up to 230 A, setting a new standard for power handling capabilities in the automotive industry.
Equipped with cutting-edge ferrite core technology, the IHDF-1300AE-1A stands out with its remarkably low profile of just 15.4 mm. This compact size is critical for modern automotive applications, where space is at a premium yet performance cannot be compromised. The inductor operates efficiently across a broad temperature range from -55 °C to +155 °C and is optimized for low AC and DC power losses as well as superior heat dissipation. These features ensure reliable performance even under the extreme conditions typical of automotive environments.
The IHDF-1300AE-1A employs an innovative edge-wound coil construction. This design achieves a very low direct current resistance (DCR) of a maximum of 1.1 mΩ. This low DCR minimizes losses, thereby enhancing the rated current performance and increasing the overall efficiency of the device by 75% compared to other ferrite-based solutions in the market.
Furthermore, the low-profile package of this inductor not only aids in achieving the rigorous mechanical shock and vibration standards required for AEC-Q200 qualification but also helps conserve valuable board space, a crucial factor in electronic design.
With an operating voltage capacity of up to 500 VDC, this AEC-Q200 certified inductor is ideally suited for a variety of applications including DC/DC converters, inverters, and for suppressing motor and switching noise. It is particularly well-suited for deployment in high-current, high-temperature systems within automotive environments, notably in on-board chargers for both electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs).
Vishay offers customization options for the IHDF-1300AE-1A, allowing adjustments to the mounting orientation, termination type, nominal inductance, and isolation voltage rating according to specific client requirements. The component also features a hot-dipped tin plating that effectively mitigates the risk of whisker growth. Compliance with RoHS, halogen-free standards, and the Vishay Green initiative underscores its environmental sustainability.
