A new family of high-voltage inductors has been introduced, specifically engineered for demanding electric vehicle (EV) applications. These inductors deliver excellent performance in high-voltage DC-DC converters, onboard chargers (OBC), and powertrain systems, combining high inductance values, superior insulation, and compact size.
High-voltage inductors designed for electric vehicle power systems
Key Features
- High voltage isolation (up to 1500V or higher)
- High saturation current capability
- Low core losses at high frequencies
- Compact and lightweight design
- Robust construction for automotive environments
- AEC-Q200 qualified options
These inductors are optimized for the increasing voltage levels in modern EVs (400V and 800V architectures), helping designers achieve higher efficiency, reduced size, and improved thermal performance in power conversion stages.
Target Applications
- Onboard chargers (OBC)
- DC-DC converters
- Powertrain inverters
- Battery management systems
- 48V mild-hybrid systems
With the ongoing shift toward higher voltage platforms in electric vehicles, these high-voltage inductors provide critical support for more efficient and compact power electronics.
