Ideal for Test & Measurement, Industrial Control, Automotive, and Military Sectors
Gowanda, New York (USA) – Gowanda Electronics, a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance inductors and magnetic components for demanding RF and power applications, and a member of the iNRCORE family of brands, is pleased to announce the launch of its inaugural ceramic core chip inductor series for power applications – the SMP0603 Series.
Key Features and Applications
The SMP0603 Series is specifically designed to meet the power electronics market’s need for ceramic chip inductors with high current handling capabilities. These high-performance chip inductors are ideal for use in:
- Test & Measurement Equipment: Enhancing the performance of DC/DC converters and switching power supplies.
- Industrial Control Equipment: Providing reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
- Automotive Applications: Supporting electric vehicles and charging stations with robust and efficient power handling.
- RF Environments: Suitable for communication, guidance, security, radar, and test & measurement applications in commercial, medical, and military markets.
Technical Specifications
The SMP0603 Series comprises 37 discrete parts, offering a wide range of performance characteristics:
- Inductance: From 1.8 nH to 27 nH
- DCR (Ohms): From 0.010 to 0.040
- Current Rating (mA DC): From 1750 to 3400
All chip inductors in this series meet a TML (Total Mass Loss) outgassing requirement of 1.0% maximum when tested in accordance with ASTM E595. They feature gold-plated nickel terminations and are RoHS-compliant. The flat top cover design facilitates pick and place assembly and is suitable for reflow soldering. The operating temperature range is -40°C to +125°C.

- Chemical Resistance
- Vibration and Shear Resistance
- Electrical and Mechanical Integrity
- Durability During Handling and Processing
- Suitability for Implantable Device Components
Product Line Expansion
This new series leverages the company’s existing ceramic chip RF inductor series (CC0603), optimized for higher current handling to cater to power applications. Gowanda offers a comprehensive range of RF chip inductor series, including QPL versions for military applications.
