Vishay Introduces New Ultra-Thin, High Current, Automotive Grade Inductors

MALVERN, PA — December 16, 2014 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced the release of its new automotive-grade ultra-thin, high-current inductor, the IHLE-4040DC-5A, which is the inductor. The unit features an integral e-shield that reduces EMI and a compact 4040 form factor. Vishay Dale IHLE-4040DC-5A is able to contain the EMI-related electric field in the tinned copper shield. When the overall shield is connected to ground, the electric field can be reduced by up to 1cm (above the center of the inductor). 20dB, eliminating the need for separate board-level shielding of inductors in automotive and other applications, reducing cost and board space. In addition, the 4-connector connection (two ground connection points for shielding) provides greater vibration immunity for electronic circuits mounted on the engine and chassis.

These devices are today certified to AEC-Q200 with a maximum operating temperature of +155°C and a coplanarity of less than 100μm for four connectors. They are suitable for energy storage in DC/DC converters, as well as automotive engines and transmission control units, fuels. Jet drive, motor noise suppression, wiper, power windows and seats, and high current filtering for HID illumination.

The IHLE-4040DC-5A is manufactured using Vishay's IHLP® technology and offers high efficiency with a maximum DCR from 1.66 Ω to 178 mΩ and a sensitivity range of 0.47 μH to 47 μH. The device is rated at 30A and handles high transient current spikes without saturation. The inductor is packaged in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free shield structure that is highly resistant to thermal shock, moisture, mechanical shock and vibration.
