Cal-Chip Electronics has introduced its NL Series of molded chip wirewound inductors. Offered in standard EIA sizes 1008 (NL2520), 1210 (NL3225), and 1812 (NL4532), the series' packages are compatible with pick-and-place assembly equipment, and are suitable for high-temperature flow or reflow soldering processes. Reliable, miniature, and economic, the inductors notably feature metal tab electrodes to ensure leaching resistant terminations, and coils encapsulated in heatproof resin for superior resistance to thermal shock, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. Available in lead-free/RoHS-compliant part numbers, these small, thin, lightweight devices are engineered to optimize performance and manufacturing efficiencies while maximizing design flexibility on PC boards. Cal-Chip's NL series offers an inductance range from .01 to 1000 microhenry, with inductance tolerances of +/-5%, +/-10%, and +/-20%. Rated current value obtained when current flows and the temperature has risen to 20 degrees C or when DC current flows and the initial value of inductance has fallen by 10%, whichever is smaller. Inductors feature an operating temperature range of -20 to +100 degrees C.
