Shielded Power Inductors Tamp Down Noise in Dense DC-DC Converters

Bourns has released a new series of shielded power inductors, the SRP2008DP, designed to reduce EMI in tightly packed DC-DC converter circuits for consumer electronics and industrial power systems. These inductors aim to address the demand for power density in electronics, where noise and EMI are top concerns due to interference between closely packed components. The shielded construction helps manage risks associated with radiated emissions and electromagnetic compatibility compliance without occupying excessive PCB space. The compact shielded inductors feature a metal-alloy powder core and a low-profile package to deliver high saturation current and maintain performance across a wide temperature range.
