KEMET’s new METCOM SMD inductor range addresses power density and efficiency application challenges
June 18 2019 - 4:15PM
KEMET Corporation (“KEMET” or the “Company”)
(NYSE: KEM), a leading global supplier of electronic components,
today launched a new range of SMD metal composite power inductors.
Devices in the new METCOM series are ideal for developing more
efficient DC to DC switching power supplies as well as other
power-related applications including EMI filtering.
The metal composite core offers high current saturation
characteristics that allow the inductors to maintain function with
the large ripple currents typically found in modern power
applications. High permeability enables low values of DC resistance
(DCR) that result in significantly reduced self-heating during high
current operation, thereby increasing system efficiency and
reducing the need for thermal design considerations.
The METCOM inductors feature a shielded construction that
contains the magnetic flux within the inductor body, increasing the
efficiency of operation. This also improves EMI performance and
eliminates interference with surrounding circuitry, significantly
simplifying the task of gaining power supply approvals.
The new inductors are designed specifically for use in DC-DC
converters that are utilized in a variety of commercial and
consumer applications including notebook computers, tablets,
servers and HDTVs. Qualification of the devices to AEC-Q200
guidelines for automotive applications is in process.
Comprising a total of 102 devices covering an inductance range
from 0.10µH to 47.00µH, the METCOM series offers DCR values as low
as 1.5mΩ. The inductors can support currents up to 35.4 A and
operating temperatures between -55°C and +155°C. With footprints as
small as 5.3mm x 5.00mm and profiles as low as 2.0mm, the METCOM
series is ideal for densely-packed modern power applications.
Commenting on the launch of the new devices, Dr. Philip Lessner,
KEMET Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, said,
“Increasing power supply density and efficiency is a key challenge
for many designers. When it comes to size, reliability and
performance the METCOM inductors offer very low losses in a small
form factor, helping designers to develop modern, high-performance
power solutions that meet increasingly stringent application
requirements.”
