Vishay Intertechnology Inc. has introduced a new automotive-grade IHLP series low-profile, high-current inductor in the 4040 case size with an increased profile of 5.4 mm. Offering a reduced direct current resistance (DCR), increased current handling, higher inductance and a high operating temperature range to 155° C, the Vishay Dale IHLP-4040ED-5A is suited for under-the-hood automotive applications.

The company said the recently released AEC-Q200 qualified device features high efficiency with typical DCR from 1.05 mΩ to 204.0 mΩ and a wide range of inductance values from 0.33 µH to 75.0 µH. The device provides rated current to 36 A and handles high transient current spikes without saturation.

The IHLP-4040ED-5A is optimized for energy storage in DC/DC converters up to 2 MHz. It also provides attenuation of noise in high current filtering applications up to the self-resonance frequency (SRF) of the inductor. With its high operating temperature, the device is designed for filtering and DC/DC conversion in engine and transmission control units, diesel injection drivers, and entertainment and navigation systems, in addition to noise suppression for motors, windshield wipers, power mirrors and seats, HID and LED lighting, and heating and ventilation blowers.

The IHLP-4040ED-5A is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free and Vishay Green.
