Bourns Introduces Shielded Power Inductor Series with Metal Alloy Powder Core Capable of Handling High Currents with Very Low DCR

The features designed into the automotive grade, AEC-Q200 compliant SRP3220A Series help reduce EMI to enhance performance and reliability in automotive applications

RIVERSIDE, Calif., August 20, 2025 – Bourns, Inc., a global manufacturer and supplier of electronic components for power, protection, and sensing solutions, today announced its SRP3220A Series Shielded Power Inductors. Designed with Bourns’ uniquely-formulated metal alloy powder core, the series can handle high currents up to 11 A without saturating, and supports reliable operation in high-temperature environments. These automotive grade, AEC-Q200 compliant power inductors feature a high heating current rating and shielded construction that minimizes magnetic field radiation. The capabilities delivered with the SRP3220A Series also help enhance performance, thermal stability and meet demanding automotive temperature requirements making Bourns’ latest power inductors a cost-effective and efficient power management solution for a growing range of automotive systems.

The SRP3220A Series is offered in a space-saving, low-profile form factor and features a wide operating temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. In addition to the advantages realized by the series’ metal alloy powder core, its flat-wire construction also contributes to very low DC resistance (DCR) compared to other similarly-sized shielded power inductors. Moreover, the low profile footprint offered with these power inductors occupies less printed circuit board (PCB) space, giving engineers the flexibility to design-in additional capabilities or match reduced space requirements.

The Bourns® SRP3220A Series is available now through Bourns’ authorized distribution partners, and is RoHS* compliant. For more detailed product information, please see: www.bourns.com/products/magnetic-products/power-inductors-aec-q200-compliant
