KEMET Introduces Metal Composite Power Inductors for Automotive Applications

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, March 16, 2020 (Global News)-

 ("KEMET" or "Company") (NYSE: KEM) is the world's leading supplier of electronic components and has launched a new series of metal composite power inductors to meet the strict demands of the automotive market. The MPXV product series expands the company's METCOM product range and has passed AEC-Q200 certification for use in the automotive field.

The new power inductors can provide efficient power conversion while minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI), and are very suitable for DC to DC switching power supplies for more and more electronic control units (ECU) in automotive systems. according to

*By 2026, the automotive ECU market is expected to reach 12.92 billion U.S. dollars, with a seven-year compound annual growth rate of 11.9%.

The MPXV series is optimized for use in the automotive market. In the electronics market, the ever-increasing demand and adoption of electronic systems require high efficiency, low self-heating and low power consumption. The metal composite core of the MPXV series inductors has first-class high permeability, which can meet these requirements. The quality of MPXV inductors makes them very suitable for use in designs that need to consider thermal factors to avoid adverse effects on other critical systems.

MPXV inductors have a variety of industry standard SMD sizes, can operate at temperatures up to 155°C, and have low electrical noise, and can be used in all areas of the vehicle-including under the hood and challenging in the powertrain Sexual working environment. The metal composite material is molded around the core of the inductor coil, so it plays a role in shielding adjacent electronic devices from magnetic flux, otherwise it may cause interference to sensitive systems. These devices meet the standards set by the Automotive Engineering Council Q200 (AEC-Q200) requirements and are even suitable for the most demanding automotive applications.

Dr. Philip Lessner, Senior Vice President and Chief Officer of KEMET, said: "Our experience and expertise in the development and production of high-permeability inductor materials enable us to launch high-performance devices to meet and exceed the latest applications in the automotive industry. Demand." Technical officer. "With its powerful performance, high reliability and energy-saving features, MPXV inductors are a perfect example and provide reliable and easy-to-design solutions."

KEMET's MPXV series can be purchased immediately through KEMET distributors. To learn more about the company's metal composite power inductors, please visit
