Power inductors provide protection for automotive applications

Additions to the DFE series of power inductors developed specifically for use within in-vehicle applications such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), automotive infotainment systems and power-train components, have been announced by Murata. Offering the industry’s highest levels of electrostatic discharge (ESD) surge voltage protection, the compact AEC-Q200 compliant devices provide high insulation and ESD characteristics.

The DFE2HCAH series measures 2.5×2.0x1.2mm and provides 1kV protection, and the DFE2MCAH series measures 2.0×1.6×1.2mm and is rated at 500V ESD protection. Both series are fabricated using Murata’s metal alloy material and accommodate the automotive operating temperature range from -40 to +150°C.

In addition to the high ESD protection features the compact dimensions of the new power inductors ensure the minimum of PCB space is required, aiding designers to accommodate today’s space-constrained applications. Inductance values available are in the range of 0.33 to 2.2µH with a value-dependent maximum current rating of 5.8A.
