Vishay introduces the new IHLP1212‑EZ‑1Z inductor: High‑current performance in an ultra‑compact format
Modern hardware design faces a constant challenge: the need to integrate greater processing capabilities into increasingly smaller spaces. In applications such as low‑profile DC/DC converters for PMICs or filtering systems in industrial and consumer devices, every square millimeter counts. To meet this demand for higher power density, Vishay has introduced the new IHLP1212‑EZ‑1Z inductor — a solution engineered to deliver exceptional thermal and electrical efficiency in an extremely compact format.
Technical specifications of the IHLP1212
This inductor stands out for its mechanical versatility, featuring a compact 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm footprint and three available height profiles: 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2.0 mm. Despite its size, the IHLP1212‑EZ‑1Z does not compromise technical performance:
- Inductance range: From 0.22 µH to 3.3 µH.
- Current handling: Rated current up to 14.3 A with excellent transient peak performance without saturation.
- Low resistance: DCR values starting at 8.6 mΩ.
- Self‑resonant frequency (SRF): Up to 214 MHz in the 2.0 mm model.
Applications and advantages
Unlike ferrite‑based technologies, this inductor uses an encapsulated powdered‑iron structure. This composite construction not only eliminates air gaps, providing full magnetic shielding against crosstalk, but also delivers a soft saturation curve. This ensures stable operation across the entire temperature range (from −55 °C to +125 °C) and under varying load conditions. In addition, its design reduces acoustic noise (buzz noise) to ultra‑low levels, which is critical in consumer electronics and medical devices.
Thanks to its high resistance to thermal and mechanical shock, the IHLP1212‑EZ‑1Z is ideal for medical instrumentation, telecommunications equipment, and industrial control systems.
