Ready for harsh automotive conditions: Panasonic Industry’s surface-mounted Power Choke Coil

MUNICH, MAY 2022

For quite a while now, “the electrification of everything” is one of the major trends in automotive engineering: More and more electronic devices, electric motors, inverter systems and ECUs are to be integrated in cars. So, mounting space is precious, but the requirement to handle high currents is essential as never before.

Conventional through hole mounting (THD) types of inductors are way too large to contribute to a significant overall downsizing, let alone the clear trend of all modern components being ready for surface-mounting.
