For immediate release
TAIYO YUDEN Launches Automotive Metal Power Inductor MCOIL™ LCEN Series
Achieving industry-leading DC superposition characteristics and a low DC resistanceTOKYO, June 27, 2022―TAIYO YUDEN CO. LTD. has announced today the launch of the wire-woundmetal power inductor MCOIL™ LCEN series. Qualified for AEC-Q200 (reliability qualification test standard
for automotive passive components), the series consists of 13 items in two sizes, including theLCENA2016MKTR24M0NK (2.0x1.6x1.2 mm, height is the maximum value).
This power inductor product is designed for use as a choke coil in power supply circuits for automotive
body and information systems.
The AEC-Q200 qualified wire-wound metal power inductor MCOIL™ LCEN series is designed basedon the metal power inductor MCOIL™ ME series, and maintains its advantages of a large current and a low
DC resistance. The LCENA2016MKTR24M0NK (inductance: 0.24 μH) simultaneously features industryleading DC superposition characteristics (saturation current at 6.8 A) and a low DC resistance (18 mΩ) (bothare the maximum values), contributing to the downsizing and power consumption reduction of power supply
circuits for ADAS units and instrument clusters, which are increasingly being upgraded with greater
functionality and performance.
Production of the product commenced at our subsidiary company, FUKUSHIMA TAIYO YUDEN
CO., LTD. (Date-shi, Fukushima prefecture, Japan) from May 2022 with a sample price of 50 yen per unit.
Technology Background
Vehicles produced recently are equipped with an ever greater number of electronic control units, typified by
ADAS units. As a result, more power supply circuits are required, boosting the demand for power inductors
used in those power supply circuits. In addition, instrument clusters and other information systems areincreasingly being upgraded with greater functionality and performance, furthering the need for high-current
electronics components capable of driving high-performance ICs.
In response to this requirement, TAIYO YUDEN has launched the AEC-Q200 qualified LCEN series
based on the metal power inductor MCOIL™ ME series, which has been highly proven in the smartphonemarket, and maintains its advantages of a large current and a low DC resistance in a compact size.
TAIYO YUDEN focuses on the development of products that meet market needs, and will continue toexpand its power inductor product lineup.
