Pulse Releases Off-The-Shelf Inductors and Transformers for Military/Aerospace Power Applications; SLEDs, SLICs, and POGOs are Ruggedized for Military/Aerospace Use.

SAN DIEGO -- Pulse, a Technitrol (NYSE:TNL) Company, one of the world's largest electronic component manufacturers and a leader in passive, magnetics-based components, announced the release of several series of off-the-shelf inductors and transformers for modern military and aerospace power applications. The SLED(TM) PL8100 series rail-mount inductors utilize a ruggedized header for durable board connections. The SLIC PL8200 and PL8300 series contain self-leaded package transformers and inductors with ruggedized construction. And, the POGO(TM) PL8400 series has open construction, pad-mounted transformers for robust board mounting.

Pulse's military off-the-shelf (MOTS) catalog power components meet modern military and aerospace mechanical and electrical design requirements. SLED toroid surface mount inductors utilize two rails for board mounting and cores bonded to high-temperature headers for durability and mechanical strength. Current ratings up to 14.3 Amperes Direct Current (ADC) and frequencies up to 1 megahertz (MHz) are currently available. SLEDs come in four package sizes.

SLICs are available as inductors and transformers. The structural header is bonded to the cores and lead wires for increased mechanical durability. The footprint is 31.0mm x 25.4mm maximum with a maximum height of 12.7mm. Current rating is up to 38ADC and inductance range is 1.1 to 18.1 microhenries.

The POGO(TM) and SLED(TM) transformers and inductors have pad or rail mounting configurations used for both surface board mounting and electrical connection. POGO(TM) and SLED(TM) packages are available in sizes from 10.25mm x 8.75mm x 6.35mm high to 32mm x 27mm x 12mm high. Current rating up to 23.8ADC and operating frequencies to 1MHz are currently available. All parts can withstand temperatures of +130 degrees Celsius to -55 degrees Celsius.

The parts in these series are available in tape-and-reel packaging with prices averaging $1.42 for quantities of 2,500 for the PL8100 series, $1.84 for quantities of 2,500 for the PL8200 and PL8300 series, and $1.56 for quantities of 2,500 for the PL8400 series. Individual part pricing may vary due to configuration and shipping destination. Contact Pulse directly for volume pricing and samples. Detailed specifications are available on data sheets M107, M108, M109, M111 and on the Pulse web site at http://www.pulseeng.com/milaero.
