Hot Press Molded Inductors – An Enhancement to the Traditional Molded Inductor

Abracon's AMDLH and AMPLH hot press molded inductors are designed to fulfill the increasing demands for high performance, compact size, and energy efficiency across diverse applications. They employ traditional molded processing to encapsulate windings in magnetic powders, enhancing structural integrity, thermal efficiency, and reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI). Additionally, these inductors undergo a secondary processing step to boost power densities, providing a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to traditional types.

Thanks to their higher magnetic densities, these inductors require less wire to achieve comparable inductance values to traditional molded variants, resulting in lower DC resistance (DCR) and higher power handling. This allows designers to enhance design margins or reduce size when board real estate outweighs efficiency considerations.

Below is a comparison highlighting the advantages of hot press processing over older, traditional molded types. When compared to traditional round wire configurations, the AMDLH and AMPLH series demonstrate lower DCR and significantly enhanced current capabilities. In contrast to traditional flat wire types, these series offer comparable performance while being more cost-effective.

Abracon’s hot press power inductors excel in power applications that demand high power in compact sizes, such as portable electronics, network cards, memory storage, DC-DC converters, power supply modules, electric and hybrid vehicles, smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

Abracon's AMDLH and AMPLH hot press molded inductors represent a significant advancement to traditional molded inductor types by increasing higher power capabilities per cubic millimeter in a cost-conscious manner.
