C&D Technologies Presents 2400/2600 Series Inductors

April 17, 2002 by Jeff Shepard

C&D Technologies Inc. (Tucson, AZ) announced the 2400 and 2600 Series of miniature bobbin-wound, surface-mount inductors that combine inductance values from 2.7µH to 680µH with low dc resistance and current-handling capabilities to 4.6A. Offering dc resistance values down to just 0.028ohms, the new 2400 and 2600 Series inductors are suitable for switching power supply designs, power line filter circuits and other applications where high-saturation currents and miniature footprints are required.

Featuring values of between 2.7µH and 220µH, inductors in the 2400 Series have a board-mounting profile of only 4.50mm and a maximum width of 5.80mm. The 2600 devices provide values between 3.3µH and 680µH and have a profile of 5.40mm and a maximum width of 12.60mm. The inductors are able to combine high-current operation with compact size as a result of an open format that allows for improved heat dissipation.

Available in tape-and-reel format, the new inductors are fully compatible with high-volume automated manufacturing systems. Pricing for the 2400 and 2600 Series start from $0.46 in OEM quantities.
