New High-Temperature Multilayer Power Inductor for Automotive Applications Released
TAIYO YUDEN Launches New MCOIL™ Multilayer Power Inductor
In a significant milestone for the automotive industry, TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. has introduced several new products, including the innovative multilayer metal power inductor, the MCOIL™ model "LACNF1608KKT1R0MAB". This new inductor is designed for high-temperature performance, rated up to 165°C, making it ideal for use in various automotive applications.
Compact Design
The MCOIL™ component has been engineered to be approximately 49% smaller than its predecessor, the LACNF2012KKT1R0MAB, measuring just 1.6 x 0.8 x 1.0 mm. This size reduction is a response to the increasing miniaturization required in modern vehicle electronics, allowing for more efficient use of space within power supply circuits.
AEC-Q200 Certification
The new multilayer metal inductor adheres to the AEC-Q200 certification standards, ensuring that it meets rigorous performance and reliability requirements for automotive components. This makes it suitable for applications in engine control systems, Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS), Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), and dashboard instrumentation.
Enhanced Thermal Resistance
Built to operate effectively in high-temperature environments, the MCOIL™ series features a temperature range from -55°C to +165°C. TAIYO YUDEN utilizes a unique bonding technique with proprietary metal materials, ensuring insulation and enhancing both thermal conductivity and resistance. The product’s stable performance in extreme conditions highlights its durability, crucial for components used under the hood of vehicles where temperatures can rise significantly.
Growing Demand
The rise in automotive electronic controls, particularly those involving advanced assistance systems, has spurred an increased demand for reliable power inductors. As vehicle designs evolve to integrate multiple functionalities—like combining instrument clusters and infotainment systems—the necessity for compact and efficient electronic components becomes even more pronounced. Moreover, as ECU installations extend into hotter environments, on-board electronics must not only shrink in size but also demonstrate robustness.
Availability
Mass production of the MCOIL™ series commenced at the WAKAYAMA TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. facility in Japan in December 2025. Interested customers can obtain samples of the new inductors for a nominal fee of 50 yen per unit.
By addressing crucial market needs, TAIYO YUDEN continues to solidify its position as a leader in the development of innovative and reliable power inductors for automotive applications. The company remains committed to expanding its product lineup, responding to the dynamic requirements of the industry.
