Kemet has announced its entry into the surface-mount inductor market. The company plans to offer a comprehensive range of devices including ferrites, surface-mount multilayer, and wire-wound inductors.
The announcement will enable Kemet to offer electronics designers and manufacturers more complete passive component solutions.

Working through its Strategic Alliance Partner, Taiyo Yuden Co. Ltd., Kemet’s inductive products will address a full range of applications including EMI suppression, filtering, frequency matching and switching regulation. All new inductor products will be available in environmentally friendly RoHS-compliant versions.

“Inductors are a critical part of the passive components market, and this expansion really complements our Forest Electric (FELCO) custom magnetics business,” said Scott Carson, Product Line Manager, KEMET. “We pride ourselves on being a solutions provider for our customers, and this is another example of that commitment in action.”
