10 µH Shielded Molded Inductor 15.5 A 14.75mOhm Max Nonstandard
The XAL1010-103MED specification defines the engineering requirements for a shielded power inductor designed for high-efficiency energy storage and power conversion applications. This specification establishes the functional, electrical, mechanical, thermal, environmental, and quality requirements necessary to ensure stable inductance characteristics, efficient current handling, and long-term operational reliability in power electronic systems.
The component is intended for use in DC-DC converters, voltage regulators, power management circuits, industrial control equipment, automotive electronics, and embedded systems requiring compact, high-current inductive components. The magnetically shielded construction minimizes electromagnetic interference while supporting efficient energy transfer and stable performance in high-frequency switching applications.
Engineering Requirements
The power inductor shall be manufactured using high-quality magnetic core materials and precision-wound conductors to ensure consistent inductance, low core losses, and reliable current-carrying capability. The construction shall maintain stable electrical performance under specified operating voltage, current, frequency, and temperature conditions.
Electrical characteristics shall provide accurate inductance values, low direct current resistance, high saturation current capability, and low electromagnetic emissions. The component shall maintain stable performance during continuous operation, transient loading, and thermal cycling without significant degradation of inductance or efficiency.
Thermal performance shall support effective heat dissipation and continuous operation within the specified temperature range while maintaining structural integrity and electrical characteristics. The shielded construction shall minimize magnetic field leakage and improve electromagnetic compatibility within densely populated electronic assemblies.
Mechanical construction shall be suitable for surface-mount assembly and compatible with automated manufacturing processes. The component shall withstand solder reflow, vibration, mechanical shock, and handling without deformation or degradation of electrical performance. Workmanship shall be free from defects including cracks, contamination, core damage, winding irregularities, or structural inconsistencies.
Inspection, validation, and testing shall be conducted using calibrated equipment and controlled quality procedures to verify compliance with all applicable engineering and manufacturing requirements. Any deviation from this specification shall require formal engineering evaluation, documented technical justification, and approval through the established engineering change control process.
Documentation
Supporting documentation shall include engineering drawings, electrical specifications, magnetic characterization data, thermal performance reports, qualification records, inspection reports, material declarations, and revision-controlled manufacturing documentation. All documentation shall be maintained under formal configuration management and quality assurance systems to ensure complete product traceability.
Revision Control
Any modification to this specification shall be managed through the formal engineering change management process. All revisions shall undergo technical review, validation, and approval before implementation to ensure continued compliance with design intent and applicable engineering standards.
