Vishay Intertechnology Inc. has unveiled a new through-hole inductor that delivers a 420 A saturation current for 30% inductance reduction in a compact 1500 case size. For renewable energy, industrial and telecom applications, the Vishay Dale IHXL-1500VZ-51 offers very low typical direct current resistance down to 0.12 mΩ and continuous high temperature operation to 155° C.
The shielded, composite construction of the device enables a compact size of 38.1 mm by 38.1 mm by 21.9 mm to support up to 150 A of continuous DC current. This allows the IHXL-1500VZ-51 to replace much larger

The IHXL-1500VZ-51 handles high transient current spikes without hard saturation, offering soft saturation of 20% at 195% of rated current. RoHS-compliant, halogen-free and Vishay Green, the device provides high resistance to thermal shock, moisture and mechanical shock.
Samples and production quantities of the IHXL-1500VZ-51 are available now, with lead times of eight to 10 weeks. Pricing for U.S. delivery starts at $7.50.
