Molded SMD Power Inductors — one-piece construction, shielded and reliable

The workhorse of modern DC-DC design

Molded (one-piece) power inductors embed the winding directly in pressed magnetic alloy powder. Compared with traditional wound-and-shielded parts, they pack more inductance per footprint, radiate far less EMI, and tolerate brutal reflow and vibration profiles.

Key characteristics

• Magnetically shielded: near-closed magnetic circuit minimizes leakage and coupling into adjacent traces — critical in dense optical module and POL layouts
• Soft saturation curve: alloy-powder cores lose inductance gradually at overload, giving design margin that ferrite-based parts cannot
• Wide inductance span: from sub-µH high-current parts to higher-value chokes within the same family footprint
• Volume economics: single molding step means the lowest unit cost across our portfolio at scale

Same platform, three flavors

Our molded series shares materials and process lineage with the co-fired flagship line: the same metal-alloy powder expertise, applied where the application priorities are footprint, shielding and cost rather than absolute maximum current.
