TDK SPM Automotive Power Inductors

TDK SPM Automotive Power Inductors are metal composite, wire-wound inductors featuring coils that are integrally molded with metallic magnetic powder. These inductors feature higher current capability, lower DC resistance, and reduced inductance variation at elevated temperatures. The SPM4030, SPM5030, SPM6530, SPM6550, and SPM10040 series operate within a temperature range from -40°C to +125°C, with a measuring frequency of 100kHz and a maximum tolerance of ±20%. Typical applications include note PCs, HDDs, servers, VRMs, and compact power modules. 

Features

  • Compact, low-profile design suited for power circuits
  • Integrated molded coil structure to reduce hum noise

  • Magnetic-shield wound inductor using metallic magnetic material
  • Supports higher current with lower DC resistance than ferrite inductors

Applications

  • HDDs
  • Mid-level power supplies
  • Note PCs
  • Power modules
  • Servers
  • VRMs
