Planar Inductors |

Our planar inductors are fixed standard power inductors with a ferrite core. They operate over a wide range of power and frequencies. Moreover, planar inductors are compact designs that perform at greater than 99% efficiency. And that's just the beginning! Take a look at the below list with "Advantages of Planar Technology" to see the overall benefits of using planar designs.

“When you combine planar inductors with excellent engineering, you can get a solution that not only saves you space, time, and costs, but suits your needs uniquely and specifically.”

Advantages of Planar Magnetics Technology

  • Extremely low profile
  • Low leakage inductance
  • High efficiency (98-99% to 40 kHz – 500kHz)
  • Reduced high frequency AC losses
  • Pre-tooled for excellent repeatability
  • Custom terminations
  • Standard sizes for custom designs
  • Easy cooling and enhanced thermal solutions
  • Weight and space savings
  • Low turns for low Cu loss
  • Optimized for low core loss
  • Meets 8mm clearance and creepage
