Power inductors are essential components used in power conversion circuits. Datatronics offers a broad range of RF and power inductors engineered for reliable performance across military, aerospace, medical, commercial, and industrial applications. The product line includes both surface-mount and thru-hole packaging, chokes and coupled inductors, suited for varying electrical and mechanical requirements.
Power Inductors
Product Types
Datatronics manufactures several categories of power inductors:
Shielded Thru-Hole
Radial inductors with protective shielding for high-current or noise-sensitive.
Unshielded Thru-Hole
Versatile choices for power filtering, coupling, and general-purpose circuits.
Each series is supported with detailed specifications to assist with design selection.
Shielded Power Inductors
Shielded power inductors help limit electromagnetic interference and are often preferred in dense PCB layouts or signal-sensitive environments. These components feature a ferrite or molded shield that contains stray magnetic fields. Datatronics offers a wide selection of standard components across multiple series, such as the DR331 through DR366, with inductance values ranging from microhenries to millihenries.
Applications include switching power supplies, motor drives, and high-speed digital circuits where EMI control is critical.
Unshielded Power Inductors
Unshielded power inductors are suitable for designs where EMI and spacing is not an issue. These inductors offer a lower-cost solution in voltage regulation, coupling, and filtering. Datatronics provides options in both SMT and thru-hole packaging to support different circuit board layouts.
Custom Inductors and Transformers
For projects that require custom configurations, Datatronics designs and manufactures custom inductors and transformers. These parts are built to customer parameters, packaging requirements, and regulatory standards. Whether the application is for aerospace, medical, telecom, or automotive systems, the engineering team works with customers to meet their performance , environmental, and regulatory goals.
The process begins with a call, email or design worksheet and includes prototype development, production and testing at our certified facilities.
