Compact inductors meet tight layout demands
Power inductors in Vishay’s IHLP1212-EZ-1Z series come in low-profile 1212-size packages suited for space-constrained commercial applications. With a 3×3-mm footprint and profile options of 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2.0 mm, their electrical performance is comparable to larger devices.
The series includes 24 devices with typical DC resistance from 8.6 mΩ to 50.4 mΩ and inductance values from 0.22 µH to 3.3 µH. Rated saturation current reaches 14.3 A, while heating current extends to 11.1 A. Operating over a temperature range of −55°C to +125°C, the inductors are designed to handle high transient spikes without saturation.
IHLP1212-EZ-1Z inductors feature a powdered iron body that completely encapsulates the windings, eliminating air gaps and providing magnetic shielding to reduce crosstalk with nearby components. Their composite construction also offers strong resistance to thermal shock, moisture, and mechanical stress.
Designed for low-profile DC/DC converters, the inductors enable energy storage, noise suppression, and filtering across industrial, consumer, telecom, and medical applications. Samples and production quantities are available with lead times of 10 weeks.
