Low-Profile Surface Mount Inductors Save Space

The tiny DR331-5 surface mount inductor is 1-mm (0.39 in) tall and is only 6.70 (w) -x- 5.60 (l) mm (0.263-x-0.220 ins). These inductors are ideal for a wide range of portable, compact and miniature devices, such as PDAs, mobile phones, portable hard drives, medical appliances, bar code scanners--wherever high-density circuit board design is a requirement.

To protect critical circuits from the dangers of EMI, the DR331-5 surface mount inductor features a wide inductance range from 1.2 to 330 uH, +20 percent. The DCR range is 0.08 to 15 ohms maximum, and the current rating is 2.1 to 0.13 amps. They operate over a wide temperature range from -40 to +85ºC, making them suitable for use in many rugged environments.

The DR331-5 surface mount inductors are designed with materials that meet the requirements for RoHS compliance. With their low-profile surface mount package design, high performance over a wide inductance range and rugged design, these inductors are ideal for use in a many different industries, including industrial controls, medical, instrumentation, telecom and computer.

The DR331-5 inductor’s flat top design makes it compatible with high-speed pick-and-place assembly equipment, and it is suitable for high-temperature soldering in accordance with J-STD-020C. The DR331-5 is available with either gold wrap around or tin wrap around terminations at no additional charge. They are shipped standard on tape-and-reel with 2,000 pieces provided per reel.
