PCA Electronics' EPI B30 series inductors are optimized for National Semiconductor's LM259X series. The low-loss material ensures operation in high-frequency switching converters, such as buck, boost or as output averaging filter inductors. The inductors are also suitable for use in high-quality filter applications. The switching frequency of the inductors is 150 kHz and 500 kHz. The inductors are low-cost.
The EPI B30 series from PCA Electronics provides surface‑mount power inductors optimized for National’s LM259X series. They are designed for high‑frequency switching converters such as buck and boost regulators and can also be used in high‑quality filter applications.
The document lists primary specifications for each part number, including inductance, DCR, current rating, core loss, and temperature rise, as well as mechanical details like package dimensions and coplanarity tolerances.
