Unshielding Inductor LCHA

Product Overview

The LCHA Series Unshielding Inductor delivers robust power handling in through-hole designs requiring extreme current capacity (up to 47A) and wide inductance ranges (3.9μH to 156mH). Featuring polyolefin shrink-tubed wire-wound construction, these axial chokes outperform standard Power Inductor solutions in industrial environments with superior thermal resilience (-55°C to +125°C) and vibration resistance. Their unshielded design enables 30% better heat dissipation than enclosed equivalents.

Key Specifications

• Extended Inductance Range: 3.9μH to 156mH with ±10% tolerance.

• Ultra-High Current Handling: Up to 47A saturation current (Isat) and 6A Idc with ultra-low DCR (as low as 0.007Ω).

• Extreme Thermal Performance: Operates from -55°C to +125°C – ideal for automotive under-hood applications.

• Robust Construction: UL VW-1 flame-retardant tubing withstands harsh environments.

• Efficiency Optimization: 40% lower DCR than conventional Transformers in equivalent power classes.

Technical Advantages

Unlike shielded RF Inductor components, these Unshielding Inductor chokes eliminate core saturation risks at high currents. Their open-winding design achieves:

1. 50% higher thermal dissipation than pot-core Power Inductor alternatives.
2. Stable inductance retention (±5%) under 10% Isat overload conditions.
3. Direct compatibility with wave soldering processes (260°C withstand).
   For EMI-critical systems, integrate with our EMC Filter solutions to suppress HFI noise in motor drives or Sensor power networks.

Applications

• Industrial Power Systems: SCR/TRIAC controls and switching regulators handling >30A currents.
• Automotive Electronics: EV charging modules and Sensor interface circuits requiring -55°C operation.
• Renewable Energy: Solar inverter chokes and wind turbine Power Converter stages.
• Heavy Machinery: Welding equipment and industrial motor drives paired with EMC Filter networks.
• High-Current Supplies: Server PSUs and telecom rectifiers exceeding 40A loads.
