High-Q air core inductors

6 August 2014 Passive Components

Coilcraft’s air-core inductors of the new VS series combine current ratings of up to 57 A and high Q factors, making them ideal for high-current IF/RF applications.

Other applications include high-power filtering, high-frequency VRMs where magnetic material must be avoided (e.g., in MRI machines) and as high-current IF chokes.

The range is offered in three configurations. The 1010VS measures 10 x 10 mm, with a maximum height of 6,1 mm. It is available with five inductance values between 23,5 and 146 nH, current ratings up to 26 A, and Q factors as high as 150.

The 1212VS measures 12 x 11,5 mm with a maximum height of 11,3 mm. It is offered with five inductance values ranging from 22,2 to 117 nH, current ratings up to 57 A and Q factors as high as 200. The 2014VS measures 19,56 x 13,6 mm with a maximum height of 11,4 mm. It is available with six inductance values between 33 and 257 nH, current ratings up to 43 A and Q factors as high as 230.

All VS series air core inductors feature RoHS compliant tin-silver over copper terminations and offer a maximum reflow temperature of 260°C. COTS Plus tin-lead terminations are also available.
