Like many passive component markets, magnetic component manufacturers face challenges in shrinking component size and weight while also delivering higher performance. Inductors and transformers are ...
Global passive components suppliers are entering a new price-hike cycle in 2026 as Murata Manufacturing and TDK Corporation ...
Core loss in inductors can adversely affect system performance. Yet, predicting core loss is a complicated endeavor, especially in complex structures such as coupled inductors. This article examines ...
As ferrite technology has progressed into a mastery of magnetic permeability, the size of inductors has gone down to the point at which they are now fairly nondescript components. There was a time ...
Vishay Intertechnology (NYSE:VSH) has introduced sulfur resistant thick film chip resistors for harsh environments. The ...
It’s a story we’ve told dozens of times already. The cost to manufacture a handful of circuit boards has fallen drastically over the last decade and a half, which has allowed some interesting ...
TDK has created inductors for automotive power-over-coax applications up to 1.6A. The three parts are an expansion of the 4.5 x 3.2 x 3.2mm ADL4532VK series, and are rated for use across -55 to +155°C ...
Chemi-Con has introduced nanocrystalline core ac and dc common-mode inductors to improve upon the size of its existing FL-V series, calling the new parts the FW series. “The material’s high magnetic ...
For the PDF version of this article, click here. In all switching regulators, the inductor is used as an energy storage device. When the semiconductor switch is on, the current in the inductor ramps ...
Researchers at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign have devised a method of combining capacitors and inductors in a tiny, 3D rolled membrane. This will save space in the electronic filters ...
Scientists from NPL have developed improvements to a technique for measuring dielectric permittivity and loss of materials at MHz frequencies. The method used is named after two NPL scientists who ...
