Bourns MAG-3002177 Power Inductor

Introduction

The Bourns MAG-3002177 is a single-phase power inductor engineered for efficient, high-power-density power conversion systems. Designed to support Texas Instruments’ TIDA-010954 600 W GaN-based cycloconverter reference design, it is well suited to demanding inverter and energy-conversion applications.

Part Description

The MAG-3002177 is a 3.2 µH power inductor with a typical DC resistance of just 7.63 mΩ. Its low DCR helps reduce conduction losses and heat generation in high-current switching circuits, supporting efficient system operation.

With high saturation-current capability, this inductor can tolerate substantial current peaks without a major loss of inductance. This characteristic is particularly valuable in compact GaN-based converters, where high switching speeds and high power density place significant demands on magnetic components.

As a passive component for power electronics, the MAG-3002177 can be used for energy storage, current smoothing, ripple reduction, and filtering in single-phase conversion stages.
