TAIYO YUDEN Unveils Ultra-thin Metal Power Inductor

In an impressive advancement for the electronics industry, TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. has officially launched mass production of their latest innovation: the MCOIL™ LSCN series multilayer metal power inductor. This product, specifically designated as the LSCND1005CCTR47MH, measures a mere 1.0 x 0.5 x 0.33 mm, making it 40% lower in height than its predecessor.

The Demand for Miniaturization

As electronic devices continue to integrate more advanced technology—features like high-performance processors, additional sensors, multiple cameras, and larger batteries—there is an increasing pressure to develop components that are both smaller and more efficient. Notably, smartphones are leading this trend, particularly with the development of foldable designs that accommodate larger screens while maintaining a slim profile. Similarly, the rise of wearable technology, including AR/VR glasses and smartwatches, necessitates the creation of light, compact components to enhance user experience.

The LSCND1005CCTR47MH inductor addresses these demands directly, serving as choke coils in the power supply circuits for various devices such as smartphones, True Wireless Stereo (TWS) devices, and wearable gadgets. By implementing metallic magnetic materials with superior DC saturation characteristics, TAIYO YUDEN is able to deliver components that fulfill the industry's growing need for miniaturization without sacrificing performance.

Breakdown of Specifications

The new LSCND1005CCTR47MH features an inductance value of 0.47 μH and allows for a rated current of 1.4 A max. Additionally, its low DC resistance (max. 345 mΩ) plays a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of devices that utilize this power inductor.
