Power inductors suit DC-DC converter applications

Taiyo Yuden

BRL2515/BRFL2518 power inductors

Taiyo Yuden's BRL2515 and BRFL2518 power inductors are designed for DC-DC converter applications in mobile phones, smart phones, DSCs and portable music players.

The BRL2515, which measures 2.5 x 1.5mm with a maximum height of 1.2mm, and BRFL2518, which measures 2.5 x 1.8mm with a maximum height of 1mm, are said to offer DC bias characteristics in a thinner, smaller size than Taiyo Yuden's existing inductor models.

With a rated saturation current of 1,000mA and inductance of 2.2 uH, the BRL2515 is said to have an impressive DC bias for a chip-type coil, with a profile now 17 per cent smaller than the existing BRL2518.

The DC resistance of the BRL2515 ranges from 0.070 to 0.265ohms and the BRFL2518 offers a DCR range of 0.09 to 0.33ohms, while both feature a low ACR.

Operating temperature is specified at a range of -25 to 105C.

Both the BRL2515 and BRFL2518 inductors are 100 per cent RoHS-compliant.
