EIA 0603 Size Wire-Wound Power Inductor

Sep 23, 2011 12:44 PM

Taiyo Yuden Co., Ltd. has announced details of the commercial release of two new products expanding its lineup of BR Series power inductors. The new wire-wound power inductor products are the BRL1608, measuring 1.6 mm x 0.8 mm with a maximum height of 0.7 mm, and the BRC2012, measuring 2.0 mm x 1.2 mm with a maximum height of 1.4 mm, for DC-DC converter applications in smartphones, cell phones, digital still cameras and other compact mobile devices.

With the BRL1608 wire-wound chip power inductor, Taiyo Yuden has achieved an industry-leading thinness of 0.7 mm. Compared with the existing BRC1608, measuring 1.6 mm x 0.8 mm with a maximum height of 1.0 mm, the BRL1608 realizes a reduction in height by 30%. On the other hand, when placed against the existing BRC2016, measuring 2.0 mm x 1.6 mm with a maximum height of 1.8 mm, the BRL2012 delivers an approximate 42% reduction in volume ratio size. Complementing this cutback in size and height, the BRL1608, with 0.13 ohms at an inductance of 1µH, lowers DC resistance by approximately 28% when compared with conventional products. The BRC2012, with 0.060 ohms at 1µH, also delivers approximately 29% lower DC resistance than the previous product. Taking these factors into consideration,

Production began in May 2010 at an output pace of 20 million units per month for both products. The price of samples is $0.20 per unit for each type.

Taiyo Yuden has brought to the market the BRL1608 EIA 0603 size wire-wound chip power inductor that achieves an industry-leading thinness of 0.7 mm, and the BRC2012, which reduces the volume ratio size by 42% when compared with the company's conventional products.
