KEMET’s METCOM power inductors are ideal for DC to DC switching power supply applications as well as EMI filter inductors. KEMET’s metal composite core has high saturation characteristics ideal for designs requiring stable inductance across temperature and current. METCOM’s footprint, form, fit, and function was developed to facilitate its use with prior designs or in new ones. The construction consists of a wirewound copper coil embedded into a metal composite core. The wound copper wire is attached to the SMD metal terminals before the core is formed around the coil. The core consists of metal powder with an isolating coating and binding agent that holds it together.
