Publish Time: 2024-10-03
Compared with traditional inductors, one-piece molded chip inductors have several significant advantages in performance, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Size and weight:
One-piece molded chip inductors adopt an integral structure, which is more compact and lightweight than traditional inductors. This design greatly reduces the volume and weight of one-piece molded inductors, which is conducive to saving space and reducing product costs.
Electrical performance:
Inductance value and leakage inductance: One-piece molded inductors usually have higher inductance values and smaller leakage inductance, thanks to their unique manufacturing process and structural design.
DC resistance and output current: Due to the small number of coil turns, the DC resistance of one-piece molded inductors is small, so they can pass larger currents, have high energy storage capacity and are saturation-resistant. Its output current value is about 37.5% higher than that of traditional inductors, and has good current superposition resistance characteristics.
Operating frequency band: One-piece molded inductors have excellent high-frequency characteristics, and the operating frequency band can be used in a wide band from tens of hertz to up to 5MHz, thanks to its small soft magnetic powder particles, high surface resistivity and small eddy current loss.
Stability and reliability:
The one-piece molded inductor is tightly packaged, has good mechanical stability and vibration resistance, can operate stably under high pressure, high temperature and harsh environment, is not prone to failure, and therefore has higher reliability.
Its excellent magnetic function stability and temperature stability enable the one-piece molded inductor to maintain stable performance in various applications.
Production efficiency and cost:
The one-piece molded inductor is manufactured using injection molding technology, which can achieve large-scale mass production, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing manufacturing costs.
The use of braided packaging facilitates automatic patch operations, further improving production efficiency.
Environmental protection and safety:
The one-piece molded inductor is formed with all magnetic materials, and the outside is magnetic material. It has a natural shielding structure, strong magnetic shielding, small magnetic leakage, excellent EMI characteristics, and little impact on surrounding equipment.
Electromagnetic materials are green and environmentally friendly products that meet the requirements of modern electronic products for environmental protection and safety.
Wide application:
One-piece molded inductors are widely used in computers, communication equipment, consumer electronics, automotive electronics and other fields. In these fields, it is used as a functional component for EMI/RFI suppression, DC/DC converters, voltage regulators, filters, etc., and plays an important role.
The one-piece molded chip inductor has significant advantages in terms of volume, electrical performance, stability, production efficiency, environmental protection, and wide application, and is an important innovation in the field of modern electronic components.
