Power inductor delivers wide inductance range

"Stackpole Electronics Inc. has introduced a new surface-mount, wirewound, shielded inductor that enables easy surface mounting in close proximity to other components on the assembly board. The new PS series inductors offer a wide range of inductance values ranging from 1µH to 10,000µH with current ratings from 1,000mA to 20mA. Standard tolerance is ±20 percent with ±10 percent available. The PS series is available in three sizes: 6.6-by-4.45-by-2.92mm, 12.95-by-9.4-by-5.08mm, and 18.54-by-15.24-by-7.62mm. The inductor, which features a ferrite construction with a magnetic shield, is rated for an operating temperature range of- 40°C to 85°C. The Pb-free and RoHS compliant series is suitable for reflow soldering." Source: eetasia.com
