Vishay announced the high-current inductor series IHLM-2525CZ-01 for voltage regulator module and dc-to-dc converter applications. The device with package size 0.255 in. by 0.270 in. (6.47 mm by 6.86 mm) with a 0.118-in. (3.0-mm) profile operates over a frequency range up to 5MHz. A molded construction gives IHLM devices a higher dielectric withstanding voltage that allows for enhanced protection against electrical shock. Resistant to moisture, salt, and chemicals, the IHLM-performs reliably in automotive applications and other extreme environments. The series is specified for saturation currents ranging from 7A to 60A and for typical DCR values ranging from 1.5 milliohms to 102 milliohms. It is designed to handle high transient current spikes without saturation. With a 100% lead (Pb)-free composite construction, buzz noise due to magnetostriction is reduced to ultra low levels. The flame retardant encapsulant (UL 94V-0) provides resistance to corrosion and moisture along with a high dielectric rating.  The IHLM-2525CZ-01 series offers an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C and is highly resistant to thermal shock, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. Samples and production quantities of the new IHLM-2525CZ-01 low-profile, high-current inductors are available now. Lead time for production quantities is 6 weeks.
