Vishay shrinks inductors, keeps full performance
Four power inductors in 0806 and 1210 case sizes from Vishay offer improved performance for commercial and automotive applications. Compared to competing inductors with similar performance, the devices use considerably less board space—up to 64% smaller in 0806 and 11% smaller in 1210 packages. They also support higher operating temperatures, a wider range of inductance values, and lower DC resistance to enhance efficiency.
The commercial IHLL-0806AZ-1Z and IHLL-1210AB-1Z have terminals plated only on the bottom, enabling smaller land patterns for more compact board spacing. The automotive-grade IHLP-0806AB-5A and IHLP-1210ABEZ-5A feature terminals plated on the bottom and sides, allowing a solder fillet that strengthens the mount against mechanical shock and simplifies joint inspection. These automotive devices are AEC-Q200 qualified for high reliability and elevated operating temperatures.
Samples and production quantities of the IHLL-0806AZ-1Z, IHLL-1210AB-1Z, IHLP-0806AB-5A, and IHLP-1210ABEZ-5A inductors are available now, with lead times of 10 weeks.
