Transformers for mission-critical designs

18 September 2013 Passive Components

For aerospace and other ultra-critical applications requiring miniature ferrite-core transformers, Coilcraft CPS has introduced the new AE458RFW series.

These robust, open design surface mount transformers are specially designed and tested to meet or exceed NASA’s demanding low outgassing specifications. With 300 V inter-winding isolation and 0,25 W RF input power capability, they are well suited to a broad range of applications.

The series offers a full-rated ambient temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, with unlimited floor life at <30°C/85% relative humidity. Additional benefits include high current capacity (250 mA) low DC resistance and a ceramic base. The footprint is just 4,19 x 4,55 mm, with a height of 3,05 mm.

Three tap configurations are available: basic 4 lead, 5 lead with a secondary centre tap and 6 lead with primary and secondary centre taps. Impedance ratios vary from 1:1 to 1:16, depending on frequency range and configuration.

Leach resistant terminations are tin-lead (63/37), with other coatings available. This design ensures the best possible board adhesion. Like other Coilcraft CPS products, AE458RFW series inductors are designed, manufactured and tested to ensure their suitability for mission-critical applications and for adverse environmental conditions.
