Like many passive component markets, magnetic component manufacturers face challenges in shrinking component size and weight while also delivering higher performance. Inductors and transformers are ...

Inductors store energy by creating magnetic fields when current flows through a coil. This video explains how that process works and why inductors are used in power supplies, filters, and many ...

Understand the function and purpose of inductors in this easy-to-follow educational video! Learn how inductors store energy in magnetic fields, resist changes in current, and play a crucial role in ...

As ferrite technology has progressed into a mastery of magnetic permeability, the size of inductors has gone down to the point at which they are now fairly nondescript components. There was a time ...

It’s a story we’ve told dozens of times already. The cost to manufacture a handful of circuit boards has fallen drastically over the last decade and a half, which has allowed some interesting ...

Advanced semiconductor technology allows an increasing number of transistors to be integrated onto ever-smaller silicon chips. This increases the power density, however, and presents power-management ...

Vishay Intertechnology (NYSE:VSH) has introduced sulfur resistant thick film chip resistors for harsh environments. The ...

Global passive components suppliers are entering a new price-hike cycle in 2026 as Murata Manufacturing and TDK Corporation prepare steep increases for inductors, with reported single increases ...

TDK has created inductors for automotive power-over-coax applications up to 1.6A. The three parts are an expansion of the 4.5 x 3.2 x 3.2mm ADL4532VK series, and are rated for use across -55 to +155°C ...

Chemi-Con has introduced nanocrystalline core ac and dc common-mode inductors to improve upon the size of its existing FL-V series, calling the new parts the FW series. “The material’s high magnetic ...

Scientists from NPL have developed improvements to a technique for measuring dielectric permittivity and loss of materials at MHz frequencies. The method used is named after two NPL scientists who ...
