The inductor plays a critical role in a wide variety of power related applications, including filtering and smoothing of input and output power lines. Regulatory requirements, combined with economic needs, are driving the move towards solutions with higher efficiency. Inductors with lower RDC values minimize losses and any self-heating effects, thus helping to improve the efficiency of power applications. With low DC resistance values, these new surface mount power inductors are designed for energy storage, input or output filtering and DC/DC converter applications. Committed to continually expand our current portfolio, Murata Power Solutions is releasing new surface mount power inductors to meet the needs of the today’s market as well as to respond to customer requests for these types of products.
