Newark partners with Bourns to meet growing demand for advanced magnetic solutions

Newark is now stocking Bourns’ broad portfolio of industry-leading standard and custom magnetics including high efficiency, high frequency power inductors and transformers, EMC compliance devices, signal transformers, common mode chokes and ferrite cores.

Chicago – September 27, 2022: Newark, an Avnet company and global distributor of electronic components, products and solutions, has launched a new global campaign with Bourns, Inc. to supply advanced magnetic solutions. Newark’s longstanding strategic partnership with Bourns is supported by growing customer demand for innovative embedded solutions which are critical to breakthrough electric vehicle and e-mobility designs, high power battery charging, renewable energy, energy storage, Internet of Things (IoT), 5G mobile networks and industrial infrastructure applications.

With more than 50 years of magnetic components experience, Bourns offers a broad portfolio of standard and fully customized components. Bourns’ advanced magnetics components are designed to meet essential power application requirements for power conversion, isolation, EMC compliance, signal integrity, increased power density and thermal management.

The company has made significant investments to develop innovative magnetic components and expand its portfolio to become one of the top 10 global power conversion solution providers. New product innovations from Bourns address market demand for operation at higher switching frequencies, miniaturization, low EMC, advanced construction materials and moulded construction techniques offering flat windings and self-lead terminals.

An extensive range of Bourns’ AECQ-20, industrial and consumer grade products are now available from Newark, including:

  • SRP4020TA is a SMD high current shielded power inductor series for automotive applications with a shielded construction, a carbonyl powder core and AEC-Q200 compliant.
  • SM91502ALA BMS Signal Transformer is designed for use with Analogue Device’s model LTC6804-1/681X, NXP’s model MC33771/33772 and Texas Instruments’ model BQ79616. The channel transformer has an integrated choke, first pin auto-termination, functional insulation and is AEC-Q200 compliant.
  • PAD00x-T764 Industrial Push-Pull Isolation Transformer is a compact and low-profile device designed to comply with IEC 62368 and features an operating temperature from -40°C to +125°C. Applications include isolated RS-485/RS-232 power supplies, industrial automation, AC motor drives, smart metering, and solar inverters.

Simon Meadmore, Vice President of Product and Supplier Management, Newark says: “Bourns offers one of the broadest portfolios of high-quality magnetics solutions and we are pleased to help bring to market this diverse range of components and solutions to support design engineers.

“Bourns excels at miniaturization, thermal management, robust product design and the use of advanced materials and construction techniques. In return, Newark has the advanced product knowledge and sales channel experience to ensure Bourns’ leading magnetics portfolio can be used to support the development of new technology by our global customer base.”

Bourns’ Magnetics team can manufacture transformers and inductors for almost any power level, helping designers meet their specific application requirements. The company has one of the largest portfolios of industry-leading high efficiency, high frequency power inductors and transformers. AEC-Q200 testing is completed in-house for Bourns’ comprehensive range of magnetics solutions combined with an extensive portfolio of circuit protection and circuit conditioning solutions, including a full range of automotive grade components. Bourns also designs for compliance with UL and IES safety standards for isolation, creepage and clearance, which are critical in many new higher voltage applications.
