TAIYO YUDEN Unveils the LCQPB Series for Automotive Power Solutions

In the ever-evolving landscape of automotive technology, TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. has made significant strides by unveiling their latest innovation—the LCQPB series of wire-wound ferrite power inductors. This new line of inductors has been developed with an eye toward compliance with AEC-Q200, a standard that ensures the reliability of automotive components.

Advancements in Automotive Electronics

The automobile industry is undergoing a transformation with the integration of advanced electronic systems that cater to today's driving demands. Recent advancements, particularly those like Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), have led to an increase in the complexity of power supply circuits. This complexity translates into an elevated need for components like power inductors.

Characteristics and Applications

The LCQPB series is designed primarily for automotive applications as choke coils and noise filters within DC-DC converters that serve critical power circuits for both vehicle body and information systems. By offering a diverse range of inductance values and dimensions, the series provides engineers with flexibility when planning high-density layouts that minimize electromagnetic interference and maximize performance.

The inductors themselves exhibit a frameless structure, making them compact and easy to integrate into a variety of designs, thus allowing automotive engineers to meet tighter space requirements without compromising functionality. This series includes parts of various specifications, such as:

• - LCQPB321919TR22M: 0.22μH inductance, 4.1A rated current
• - LCQPB321919TR68M: 0.68μH inductance, 2.0A rated current

And the lineup continues with options that cater to different application needs, thereby enriching the choice between design material and structure.

Manufacturing and Availability

The LCQPB series inductors have been manufactured in TAIYO YUDEN’s facility located in Lapulapu City, Cebu, Philippines, since March 2025.
