Gowanda Electronics Launches New Non-Magnetic RF Inductor Series – 28MG
Ideal for Medical Imaging and Magnetic-Sensitive Applications
Gowanda, New York (USA) – Gowanda Electronics, a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance inductors and magnetic components for demanding RF and power applications, is pleased to announce the introduction of its new non-magnetic RF thru-hole (leaded) inductor series, the 28MG. This series is specifically designed for use in medical imaging equipment and other applications where magnetic materials must be avoided.
Key Features and Applications
The 28MG series addresses the market need for non-magnetic inductors that can achieve inductance values of up to 18 µH. These inductors are ideal for:
- Medical Imaging Equipment: Including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and specific types of X-ray equipment.
- Telecommunications: Ensuring reliable performance in communication systems.
- Security Systems: Supporting advanced security and surveillance applications.
- Instrumentation and Laboratory Analysis: Used in various scientific and analytical instruments.
- Aviation and Navigation Equipment: Critical for the reliability of aviation and navigation systems.
- Electronic Test Equipment: Enhancing the accuracy and performance of test equipment.
Technical Specifications
The 28MG series comprises 60 discrete parts, offering a wide range of performance characteristics:
- Inductance: From 1.2 µH to 18 µH
- DCR (Ohms): From 0.079 to 4.15
- Current Rating (mA DC): From 315 to 2400
All inductors in this series have a relative permeability of ≤ 1.00003, ensuring they are truly non-magnetic. The operating temperature range is -55°C to +125°C. The inductors are epoxy encapsulated for environmental protection and superior strength to withstand all types of reflow soldering. Standard terminations are SnPb; RoHS-compliant terminations are available when “LF” is specified.
Trade Show Appearances
The 28MG series will be featured at:
- BIOMEDevice in Boston: September 21-22, 2021, at booth #1054
- MD&M Midwest in Minneapolis: November 3-4, 2021, at booth #2235
Attendees are invited to visit Gowanda’s booth to learn more about these innovative non-magnetic inductors.
