Powering Up Your Designs: High Current Inductors & Wireless Charging Solutions
Just saw some interesting stuff crossing my desk and figured I'd share it. We're talking about some beefy high current inductors and wireless charging solutions, perfect for those power-hungry applications we're all dealing with these days.
Sagami CVE2622C: Radial Lead Power Inductors for Demanding Applications
First up, it looks like Sagami's got a cool series of radial lead power inductors called the CVE2622C. The big selling points here are:
- High Current Handling: These aren't your grandma's inductors. They're built to handle serious current, which is crucial for things like power supplies and automotive applications.
- Low Resistance: Low resistance means less power loss and better efficiency. That's always a win.
- Magnetically Shielded: They've got a magnetically shielded structure, which minimizes magnetic flux leakage. This is key for keeping things clean and preventing interference with other components, especially in sensitive applications.
- Versatile Applications: Sagami is pitching these for a wide range of uses, including:
- Audio/Visual equipment
- Automotive (car audio, ECU) – important for meeting those stringent automotive standards!
- Home Entertainment systems
- Power Supplies
- Factory Automation (FA)
- Medical devices
- Energy-related applications
Why This Matters to You:
If you're designing anything that needs a reliable, high-performance power inductor, the CVE2622C series is worth a look. The shielded design is a major plus for minimizing EMI, and the high current capability makes them suitable for demanding loads. Think about using them in your next DC-DC converter or power amplifier design. Definitely something to keep in mind when you're spec'ing out components for your next project.
Key Takeaway: Good option for high current, low resistance inductor needs.
Central Technologies: Wireless Power Charging Coils – Cut the Cord!
Next up is the wireless charging stuff from Central Technologies. Wireless power is becoming ubiquitous, and it's not just for phones anymore. Tablets, laptops, even some power tools are going wireless.
Central Technologies is offering Qi Wireless Charging Coils designed to transfer power wirelessly through inductive coupling. This means you can ditch the cables and charge your devices just by placing them on a charging pad.
Why This Matters to You:
- Convenience: Wireless charging is all about convenience. No more fumbling with cables.
- Design Flexibility: Integrating wireless charging into your products can open up new design possibilities. Think about sealed enclosures, ruggedized devices, or products that are simply more aesthetically pleasing without the need for charging ports.
- Market Demand: Consumers are demanding wireless charging. Adding it to your products can give you a competitive edge.
Thinking about integrating wireless charging? Here are some things to consider:
- Efficiency: Wireless charging isn't as efficient as wired charging, so you'll need to factor that into your design.
- Standards Compliance: Make sure your design meets the Qi standard for interoperability.
- Shielding: Proper shielding is essential to prevent EMI and ensure safe operation.
Key Takeaway: Wireless charging is here to stay, and Central Technologies offers Qi wireless charging coils to help you integrate it into your products.
Central Technologies Engineering Kits: Prototyping Made Easy
Finally, Central Technologies also offers engineering kits. These kits include 10 pieces of every value within a product series, along with datasheets on a thumb drive. This is a great way to quickly prototype and experiment with different components. Having physical parts on hand is always better than just simulating! Their engineers are ready to help you choose the best product for your application.
