Electronics Power Supply / Management automotive inductors power SMDSUMIDA AMERICA CDEP13D**/T150 series of AEC-Q200 qualified SMD inductors consists of 10 standard types and 10 high-power types. Devices provide a combination of four key benefits: high temperature, high current, high-insulation voltage, and magnetic shielding. Inductance values range from 0.8 to 22µH, with saturation current of up to 32 amps. Measuring 13.5 x 13.5 x 10mm, devices are an outgrowth of the CDEP15D**/T150 line, which measures 2mm larger and offers saturation current of up to 50.4µH. For durability, core and windings can withstand a voltage of up to 120Vdc. Full operating temperature range is -40 °C to 150 °C (including coil’s self-temperature rise) and both product families are qualified to the Automotive AEC-Q200 reliability test requirements.
