KEMET KEMET MPXV Series METCOM Power Inductors

KEMET MPXV Series METCOM Power Inductors are ideal for use in switching power supplies for DC-to-DC applications for automobiles. The metal composite core consists of high saturation capabilities while preserving functionality with high current transients and is distinguished by inductance that is temperature stable. These AEC-Q200 qualified power inductors have an inductance range of 0.10µH to 100.00µH.

  • Metal composite powder
  • Maximum rated DC resistance range of 0.48mΩ to 341.2mΩ
  • Operating temperature up to +155°C
  • Shielded construction, SMD configuration

Applications

  • Automotive ECU applications such as:
    • Electric Water Pumps (EWP)
    • Electric Oil Pumps (EOP)
    • Electric Power Steering (EPS)
    • Head-Up Displays (HUD)
    • LED headlights
    • Meter cluster panels

Video

This TTI Tech Specs video for KEMET MPXV Automotive Grade Metal Composite Power Inductors explains that KEMET’s AEC-Q200 Qualified MPXV Power Inductors have a metal composite core that provides stable inductance at high current levels. Inductance is also stable across a wide temperature range, with MPXV Inductors rated for operation at up to 155°C, making them ideal for all kinds of automotive ECU applications.

There’s an old parable that asks how close a hired driver can get to the cliff, and the one that was hired was the driver who chose to stay away from the cliff as much as possible. Designers might be tempted by a similar dilemma with pushing inductors closer and closer to the “inductance cliff”, but KEMET’s AEC-Q200 qualified MPXV power inductors let you stay away from that cliff with a metal composite core that provides stable inductance at high current levels.

Inductance is also stable across a wide temperature range, with MPXV inductors rated for operation at up to 155°C, making them ideal for all kinds of automotive ECU applications. MPXV inductors are available with inductance values range from 0.10µH to 100µH and with RMS current ratings up to 90A. They inductors are offered in a wide range of SMD case sizes, including small and low-profile options, and the construction is self-shielding for low flux leakage.
