MALVERN, PA — Vishay Intertechnology (NYSE: VSH) is expanding its portfolio of high-current power inductors with four new devices aimed at automotive, industrial, and renewable energy applications, as manufacturers seek more efficient components for increasingly power-intensive systems.
The company reported that the new additions to its IHXL series incorporate an updated iron alloy core material that reduces core losses by approximately 20% compared with prior-generation devices while supporting operating temperatures up to 155 degrees Celsius.
The products are designed for use in battery charging systems, DC/DC converters, DC-link filters, brushless DC motors, and power factor correction circuits, applications that are seeing growing demand as vehicle electrification and renewable energy deployment accelerate.
The new inductors are being introduced at a lower price point than previous-generation IHXL devices, a move that could help equipment manufacturers manage component costs while increasing power-handling capability.
The components are available in automotive-grade and commercial versions and support loads ranging from 55 amps to 209 amps.
According to Vishay, the devices offer inductance values of up to 10 microhenries, enabling higher impedance filtering and improved ripple-current control in switching power systems.
The inductors use a magnetically shielded powdered-iron construction intended to reduce stray magnetic flux and electromagnetic interference. The design also lowers internal thermal resistance, helping reduce heat buildup during operation.
The devices are offered in two package sizes, measuring approximately 38.1 millimeters by 38.1 millimeters and 50.8 millimeters by 50.8 millimeters, respectively.
Vishay indicated that the inductors are designed to maintain stable inductance during changing load conditions and transient current spikes through the use of a soft-saturation core material.
The products are compliant with Restriction of Hazardous Substances standards, are halogen-free, and can be customized with various termination styles, inductance values, current ratings, temperature ratings, and voltage specifications.
The launch expands Vishay’s offerings in a market increasingly driven by electrification, industrial automation, and renewable energy infrastructure, sectors that continue to demand higher-current filtering and power-management components.
