Coilcraft's new XGL4030 series power inductors offer up to 40% lower DCR (DC Resistance) than other inductors, as well as extremely low AC losses, with the best overall efficiency over a wide range of AC ripple currents. They are ideal for DC-DC converters with switching frequencies ranging from hundreds of kHz to 5 MHz and beyond.
The XGL4030 features an expanded inductance range, including 18 values from 0.13 to 12.0 µH, with current ratings up to 26.5 A and gradual saturation characteristics. It also offers a 30% increase in Irms self-heating current, allowing the XGL4030 to operate with less heat than previous generation components.
The XGL4030 series inductors are qualified to AEC-Q200 Grade 1 standards (ambient temperature -40° to + 125° C) with a maximum operating temperature of + 165° C and have no thermal ageing problems, making them suitable for automotive and other environmental applications. They feature RoHS compliant, tin-silver-over-copper terminations and are halogen-free. Their composite construction also minimises buzzing.
