Bourns Announces Versatile Square-Package Air Coil Inductor Series Featuring a High Q Value and High Self-Resonant Frequency

New air coil inductors meet today’s high-frequency application demands for enhanced signal filtering, efficient energy transfer and tight inductance tolerance

RIVERSIDE, Calif., January 29, 2026 – Bourns, Inc., a leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic components for power, protection, and sensing solutions, today announced its AC3028SQAC5037SQACXX14SQACXX15SQ, and ACXX18SQ Series Air Coil Inductors. The five new series deliver High Q and high self-resonant frequency (SRF) with tight inductance tolerance that enables designers to meet ongoing demands for smaller, faster and more compact electronics. These new air coil inductors feature a square package design with a flat top and bottom that streamlines reliable pick-and-place assembly while providing superior mechanical stability.

Other significant features of the five new inductor series include high Q values up to 230, with inductance ranging from 5.5 to 82 nanohenries (nH), making them ideal for today’s high-frequency TV and radio receivers, radio transmitters, RF amplifiers and tuning application designs. In addition, Bourns AC3028SQ, AC5037SQ, ACXX14SQ, ACXX15SQ, and ACXX18SQ Series Inductors have a tight tolerance of 2 percent and 5 percent, with DCR values that range from 3.4 to 12 milliohms (mΩ). These air coil inductors offer rated current values from 2.7 to 5.6 A and feature an operating temperature range of from -25 °C to +125 °C.

Bourns AC3028SQ, AC5037SQ, ACXX14SQ, ACXX15SQ, and ACXX18SQ Series Air Coil Inductors are available now and are RoHS compliant*. For more detailed product information, please see: bourns.com/products/magnetic-products/air-coil-inductors.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
