Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the advantage of flat‑wire construction?

+
Flat‑wire reduces AC resistance, improves thermal dissipation, and supports higher current density compared to round‑wire designs.

What current ratings are available in this series?

+
Depending on the part number, saturation current ratings range from ~20 A up to 85 A.

What inductance values are offered?

+
The series spans from tens of nanohenries (nH) to several microhenries (µH), covering fast transient response and filtering needs.

How do these inductors perform thermally?

+
They are rated for continuous operation up to 125 °C, with stable inductance under load.

Are shielded versions available?

+
Yes, both shielded and unshielded models are offered to balance EMI suppression with size and cost. Please contact ICE for more details.

What package sizes are available?

+
Compact SMT footprints range from ~7 mm up to ~15 mm, with low‑profile options for space‑constrained designs.

What applications are these inductors best suited for?

+
They are ideal for CPU/GPU VRM/VRD stages, point‑of‑load converters, servers, telecom systems, and networking equipment.

How does low DCR benefit performance?

+
Low DC resistance minimizes conduction losses, improving overall efficiency in high‑current designs.

Can these inductors handle fast transient loads?

+
Yes, their stable inductance and flat‑wire design make them well‑suited for fast transient response in DC/DC converters.

Are these inductors RoHS compliant?

+
Yes, all IN Series SMT flat‑wire inductors are manufactured to meet RoHS environmental compliance standards.
