The company says the new series handles high currents without saturation and temperatures up to 150 °C helping to ensure stable and reliable operation in high-temperature environments. These automotive grade, AEC-Q200 compliant SMD power inductors deliver high current density in a low-profile form factor, making them ideal for automotive designs requiring exceptional power efficiency and design flexibility. The features designed into Bourns latest power inductors are optimised for use in a broad variety of advanced automotive applications including noise filters and DC power lines.

In addition, the company says the SDE0403AT Series features a uniquely designed drum ferrite structure in a compact, low form factor, giving designers greater layout flexibility and ease of system integration. The series supports a wide operating temperature range from -55 °C to 150 °C and delivers a high saturation current up to 4.8 A, helping maintain thermal stability in today’s sophisticated automotive systems.

The Bourns SDE0403AT Series is available now through Bourns’ authorised distribution partners, and is RoHS* compliant and halogen** free. For more detailed product information, please see: bourns.com/products/magnetic-products/power-inductors-aec-q200-compliant.
