KEMET MPXV Series Metal Composite Power Inductors are designed for DC to DC switching power supplies in automotive applications. These inductors feature a metal composite core with high saturation capabilities, ensuring stable performance during high current transients and maintaining consistent inductance across temperature changes. The MPXV series inductors offer an inductance range from 0.10µH to 100µH and operate at temperatures up to +155°C. These devices are ideal for automotive ECU applications such as LED headlights, meter cluster panels, and electric pumps.

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.
