Murata Power Solutions has announced the 8300 series of toroidal surface mount power inductors. These miniature low profile inductors measure 7.8x5.20x1.8mm, are suitable for handheld consumer electronics designs where the available PCB footprint and height are restricted.
The toroidal core of the inductor ensures that the magnetic flux is confined to the core, says the company. With a device dependent maximum DC current of 3A, inductors are available from 0.42 to 100µH and DC resistance ranges from 24 to 1320mΩ across the range.
The inductors have an operating temperature of -40 to 85°C. They are available in tape and reel for high volume automated surface mount assembly, the maximum reflow solder temperature is 260°C as required by J-STD-020D.
