Würth Elektronik — WE-PD SMT Shielded Power Inductor

Würth Elektronik WE-PD SMT Shielded Power Inductor

Known for reliability and consistency

Simple but efficient, the WE-PD by Würth Elektronik is a high performance inductor known for its reliability and consistency under various operating conditions.

Four carefully selected components make sure that the power inductor meets the requirements to deliver high performance.

• The base is available in two different variants and connects the component to the PCB to achieve mechanical stability.
• The windings are made of copper with very low RDC and RAC to ensure consistency and efficiency.
• The core is the heart of the WE-PD and is made of NiZn for a high dielectric strength or MnZn material, enabling the inductor to provide high saturation currents and low core losses while an advanced shielding technology with an outside air gap not only reduces unwanted noise and electromagnetic interference but also avoids eddy current losses in the windings.

All the components and materials work together to ensure resistance against thermal aging for high reliability and long term usability.

The WE-PD series is also offered in three different types: standard, robust and performance.

• WE-PD: features low loss material, tight tolerances and high saturation behavior compared to other manufactures in the market
• WE-PD Robust (R): features a plastic base which improves the mechanical stability and efficiency
• WE-PD Performance (P): features a MnZn core which improves saturation and RDC for highest efficiency
