ICE Components Offers High Creepage/Low Leakage Inductance Gate Drive Transformer

Aug. 14, 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  the GT05 Series of Gate Drive transformers for use in off-line switching power supplies. The GT05 is based upon the highly regarded GT03 series, but uses a new innovative header design to increase creepage and simplify assembly.  ICE uses a toroid design in the design of both the GT03 Series and the GT05 Series.  Key features of each include low leakage inductance, multiple winding configurations, excellent E-T ratings, Hi-Pot ratings up to 3,750 Vac and high creepage distances suitable for most applications.   “The toroidal design of both the GT03 and GT05 Series provides a key benefit of low leakage inductance.”  say Robin Benas, Engineering Manager for ICE Components.  “Much lower than what can be found in E core based designs.  Low leakage inductance reduces time delay  and ringing in the drive signal, which are key in gate drive circuit performance.”

The GT05 features E-T ratings up to 100 V-uS and a creepage distance of  8.7mm.  At just 11mm (l) x 13mm (w) x 6.8mm (h) in size, the GT05’s SMT package is suitable for a wide variety of applications including high density DC/DC,  high power AC/DC, medical and industrial.  

The GT03 features three creepage distance options each with multiple E-T products and turns ratios.  The -A is rated for a 1,500 Vac Hi-Pot and is suitable for working voltage applications.  It features E-T products up to 110 V-uSec and six winding configurations.  The -B has a creepage distance of 3mm and is Hi-Pot rated at 3,750 Vac.  It features an E-T rating up to 69 V-uSec and is available in three winding configurations.  The -C has a creepage distance of 8mm and is Hi-Pot rated at 3,750 V-uSec.  It features an E-T rating up to 69 V-uSec and is available in three winding configurations.  

Parts are available with prices as low as  $0.56 for 10k pcs of the GT05 and $0.58 for 10k pieces of the GT03-A.  Individual parts pricing may vary due to volume and model.
