ICE Components Expands Product Line with State-of-the-Art Class D Inductors for Audio Applications

June 4, 2012 - PRLog -- Marietta, GA. –  ICE Components, Inc., a leading supplier of innovative magnetic solutions for the power electronics market, announces a product line expansion with Class D inductors for use in Class D audio amplifiers. ICE’s Class D inductors use a state-of-the-art ferrite core material and core shape designed specifically for audio applications. Key benefits include a low DCR, high linearity of inductance over power and frequency, and a small footprint.  ICE’s Class D inductor also features a shielded design to minimize EMI.

“Consumers of Class D audio amplifiers are a demanding bunch,” said Robin Benas, Engineering Manager for ICE Components, “They want better performance than they can get from traditional powder designs without increased cost.  They need it all; good linearity, low DCR and good EMI shielding in an economical package.  Benas further added, “Our Class D inductors utilize state-of-the-art ferrite core materials and a core shape designed for Class D applications.  The advantage is an inductor with better linearity resulting in improved filter performance.”

ICE is introducing four new series; the 1D10A, 1D14A, 1D17A and 1D23A to cover a broad power range.  The 1D10A series features a footprint of 11.5mm x 7.5mm, four inductance values from 10uH to 33uH and is rated for applications ranging from 30W to 160W.   The 1D23A series features a footprint of 24.0mm x 21.2 mm, four inductance values from 10uH to 33uH and is rated for applications up to 700W.

Parts are available with prices as low as  $0.48 for 10k pieces of the 1D10A.  Individual parts pricing may vary due to volume, model and shipping destination.
