Don’t let your inductors be a bunch of losers. Of course, I’m talking about power losses. Bourns PQ Series inductors are built with low winding resistance flat wire and a low loss ferrite core that combine for extremely low DC and AC losses for saturation currents from a few amps to over 100A.
The PQ series is AEC-Q200 qualified and rated for operation up to 155°C, with a third solder tab under the body opposite the inductor contacts to improve mechanical stability. This means you can use PQ series inductors to boost efficiency in automotive power conversion applications and high current applications in consumer, industrial, medical, and telecom designs. The inductors have a 28mm by 28mm plastic base and are offered with inductance values from 1μH to 33μH.
