Dear Friends,

It is no secret, that today’s designs, with their switching frequencies and size constraints, demand for high-quality components in the magnetics area.

Find all my magazines from 2006 on in our free archive on bodospower.com. There is no better way to communicate. We all share one world. As a publisher I serve the world: one magazine, on time, every time.

Best regards,
Bodo Arlt

XGL1010 Series Ultra-Low Loss Shielded Power Inductors

Coilcraft XGL1010 Series of ultra-low loss, molded power inductors offer up to 35% lower DCR than the previous best-in-class inductors as well as extremely low AC losses, resulting in the best overall efficiency for a wide range of DC-DC converters with switching frequencies ranging from hundreds of kHz to 5 MHz and above.

A drop-in upgrade from Coilcraft’s popular XAL1010 model, the XGL1010 features an expanded inductance range from 0.27 to 56.0 µH and current ratings up to 117 Amps with soft saturation characteristics. It also offers a 30% increase in Irms self-heating current, allowing the XGL1010 to operate much cooler than previous-generation components.

XGL1010 Series inductors are qualified to AEC-Q200 Grade 1 standards (-40° to +125°C ambient) with a maximum part operating temperature of +165°C, and they exhibit no thermal aging issues, making them suitable for automotive and other harsh-environment applications.

As with all Coilcraft parts, free evaluation samples of the XGL1010 Series are available online at www.coilcraft.com.
