Taiyo Yuden CO., LTD. has announced today the evelopment and production of the AEC-Q200-compliant SMD power inductor EST1060 (10.1 x 10.0 x 6.0 mm). This product is a power inductor for choke coils and filters in DC-DC converters, which are power supply circuits used in automotive powertrain components such as engines and transmissions. By making full use of our material technology, we have extended the upper limit of the operating temperature range to 150°C (including self-generated heat); and by utilizing our own structural design, we have achieved a vibration resistance of 30G (under our test conditions). Furthermore, a unique Data Matrix Barcode is printed on each unit which allows traceability throughout all processes such as production and distribution.
Shipment of product samples will start in March 2017, and commercial production will start at FUKUSHIMA TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. (Date-City, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan) in August 2017.
