Vishay offers new through-hole inductor, delivering 420 A saturation current

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has introduced a new through-hole inductor that delivers a 420 A saturation current for 30 percent inductance reduction in a compact 1500 case size.

For renewable energy, industrial, and telecom applications, the Vishay Dale IHXL-1500VZ-51 offers very low typical DCR down to 0.12 mΩ and continuous high-temperature operation to +155° C.

The new, shielded, composite construction of the device enables a compact size of 38.1 mm by 38.1 mm by 21.9 mm to support up to 150 A of continuous DC current.

This allows the IHXL-1500VZ-51 to replace much larger competing solutions in high-current input filters and DC/DC converters for high-temperature industrial and solar and wind-power applications. This is in addition to switching regulators, differential mode, and boost power factor correction chokes, and telecom base station power supplies.

The IHXL-1500VZ-51 handles high-transient current spikes without hard saturation, offering soft saturation of 20 percent at 195 percent of rated current. RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green, the device provides high resistance to thermal shock, moisture, and mechanical shock.
