TTI, a specialist distributor of passive, connector, electromechanical and discrete components, now stocks Eaton’s MPI series miniature power inductors. Thanks to the molded technology, the components enable superior EMI shielding and the highest power density currently available on the market.

MPI power inductors are made of a composite magnetic core material and allow for soft roll-off inductance characteristics independent from the temperature while maintaining high efficiency. The devices are an ideal solution for space constrained power supply designs for either filtering or high frequency switching operation up to 10MHz. Amongst the main target applications are LED drivers, LCD displays, PLC/robot controllers, embedded PCs, handheld/mobile devices, portable media players, GPS systems, battery operated devices, notebooks/netbooks, tablet computers, PDAs, and POL converters.

The rugged MPI4040 and MPI2520 series power inductors are magnetically shielded, can handle high transient inrush current spikes and have been designed for a maximum temperature of +125degC. All components are halogen-free, lead-free and fully RoHS compliant.

MPI4040 series power inductors come in a 4.7mm x 4.31mm x 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 1.85mm, or 2.0mm surface mount package, feature an inductance range from 0.09µH up to 22µH, as well as a current range from 1.1A up to 32.0A. The frequency range is 20kHz up to 10MHz.

MPI2520 series devices benefit from a 2.7mm x 2.2mm x 1.0mm / 1.2mm surface mount package, offer an inductance range from 0.47µH up to 10.0µH, and a current range from 1.1A up to 4.8A.
