Gowanda Electronics (Gowanda, NY) announced a new series of surface-mount inductors, the SMRF 5025S, which have high performance shielding designed into the inductor, allowing electronic components to be mounted closer together on circuit boards in RF applications. The new inductor series enables design engineers to consider reductions in the surface area of the circuit board design in an effort to address the market need for smaller and smaller products.
The SMRF 5025S Series is targeted for use in RF applications where coupling between board components is a concern due to board density. Applications for this series include all RF signal circuitry in communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, medical diagnostic equipment, and industrial process control equipment. Other applications include use in telecommunications, disk drives, computers and modems, and other computer peripherals, as well as in security systems, instrumentation, bar code and laboratory analysis equipment, aviation equipment, navigation equipment, electronic test equipment, and cable television.
Technical specifications for products in the SMRF 5025S Series include an inductance from 0.10µH to 10,000µH and incremental current ratings from 3,900mA to 54mA dc (based on a 35°C temperature rise at ambient temperature of 90°C).
The SMRF 5025S Series provides design engineers a COTS surface-mount equivalent of the company’s molded RF shielded axial leaded "17S" MIL STD inductor series.
The SMRF 5025S Series of surface-mount inductors are priced at $0.81 each in production quantities.
