Composite Inductors

Composite inductors are constructed by inserting a pre-wound coil over pre-press magnetic core and then pressing or molding a magnetic material around this assembly. The composite inductors are very similar to molded but typically offer lower DCR and lower overall losses. Our composite core inductors provide a fully shielded, high energy density, soft saturation solution for applications up to 120Apk. The construction enables the highest energy density of any available SMT inductors and also minimizes acoustic noise. We offer both commercial grade (-40C to 125C) and automotive grade (-55C to 155) in a wide range of platforms from 4x4x2mm to 17x16x13mm.

Molded Inductors

Pulse Electronics

Molded inductors are constructed by pressing or molding a magnetic material around a pre-wound coil and lead-frame to form the inductor. Our molded inductors provide a fully shielded, high energy density, soft saturation solution for applications up to 110Apk. The construction enables low profile solutions in a cost effective and robust solution that minimizes acoustic noise. We offer a high saturation current series (commercial and automotive, -40C to 125C) and a low DCR series (automotive, -55C to 155C) in a wide range of platforms from 4x4x1.2mm up to 24x24x13mm.

Power Bead Inductors

Pulse Electronics

Power bead inductors are typically used in high current multi-phase voltage regulators that power processors, memory modules and high current ASICs and FPGA in a wide range of applications including servers, graphics cards, storage and data centers. The construction consists of a ferrite core assembled over a 1T or 2T winding and which allows for extremely low DCR, high peak current and low AC losses. Pulse has single phase, integrated phases and coupled inductor versions. Our high volume manufacturing enables us to produce components that are cost-effective while maintain exceptional quality and reliability.

Round Wire Coil Inductors

Pulse Electronics

Round wire coil (RWC) inductors come in six platform sizes and enable the highest efficiency of any SMT inductor through the use of a low loss ferrite core material which minimizes AC losses and also eliminates thermal ageing. The use of round magnetic wire instead of rectangular flat coils enables a lower cost while still maintaining a low DCR and small footprint. The platforms have passed the AEC-Q200 stress test qualification proving the designs robustness and suitability to difficult environments but the parts are not IATF certified. The platform range from 7.6×7.4×6.4mm to 26x26x15mm and are suitable for a wide range of applications and markets including communications, computing and industrial.

Drum Core Inductors

Pulse Electronics

Drum core inductors are so named as the conductor (round magnet wire) is wound directly onto the ferrite core which is shaped like a drum or spool. The wire is then connected to the core, a plastic base or metal lead frame to form the surface mount termination. Drum core inductors come in unshielded (high saturation current but potentially more EMI) and shielded constructions (lower saturation current but closed magnetic path for lower EMI). The shielded constructions use either a second ferrite core or a magnetic resin epoxy to create the magnetic shield.
