As power electronics continue to shrink, the need for components that can handle rising thermal and current demands without expanding footprint has only intensified. Bourns new SRP4020T series of shielded power inductors aims to meet that need, pairing a compact form factor with strong electrical and thermal performance.
At just 4.45 mm x 4.0 mm and 1.8 mm tall, the SRP4020T inductors are clearly built for tight spaces. But it’s what’s inside that makes them stand out. These inductors use a carbonyl powder core, chosen for its magnetic stability and thermal consistency. Unlike ferrite-based options, carbonyl cores remain stable across temperature swings, allowing the SRP4020T to maintain performance up to +150 °C.
Inductance values range from 0.47 to 10 µH, with DC resistance as low as 4.8 mΩ. That low DCR helps minimise conduction losses in high-efficiency designs. Current ratings are equally solid, with saturation currents reaching 17 A (typical) and heating current limits up to 13.5 A depending on the model.
Shielded Design Supports Cleaner EMC
The SRP4020T’s magnetic shielding isn’t just a bolt-on. It’s integrated into the construction and helps reduce radiated noise, simplifying the job of meeting system-level EMI requirements. In dense boards and compact power supplies, that’s a real design advantage.
Ready for Real-World Deployment
RoHS compliant and halogen-free, the SRP4020T series is available now through Bourns’ authorised distribution partners. These are production-ready parts, designed for deployment in everything from consumer devices to rugged embedded systems.
For engineers balancing thermal headroom, electrical efficiency, and EMC compliance in tight spaces, the SRP4020T offers a compelling mix of performance and practicality.
