Preface

Driven by the current trend toward product miniaturization, inductor sizes continue to shrink to meet the demands of consumer electronics, automotive applications, fast-charging systems, and AI devices for slimness, light weight, and high integration. Meanwhile, advances in high-permeability, low-loss magnetic powders and high-performance coil materials enable small-sized components to satisfy requirements for high current handling and low loss.

Core Processes and Structure

Utilizing powder injection molding (PIM) technology, the magnetic core and coil are integrally formed in a single step, eliminating traditional assembly gaps. The fully enclosed magnetic shielding structure provides strong EMI immunity. Dimensions range from 0.8 mm (length) × 0.4 mm (width) to 1.0 mm (length) × 0.7 mm (width), with most variants featuring ultra-thin profiles—typically 0.4–0.6 mm or 0.5–0.65 mm—and reducing overall package volume by more than 30% compared with conventional wound inductors. This makes it a key solution for achieving weight targets of 10–30 g per complete device.

Key Performance Advantages

Low loss: The DCR is 25% lower than the industry average, and magnetic losses at 1 MHz are reduced by 40%, significantly lowering power consumption in the power supply system; field tests show this can improve the battery life of AR glasses by approximately 25%.

High anti-interference and stability: Radiated noise is 30 dB lower than that of conventional products; it features a high saturation magnetic flux density, enabling it to withstand transient high currents and accommodate the dynamic power consumption fluctuations typical of edge-side AI inference; moreover, it exhibits high mechanical strength and excellent resistance to vibration and shock.

Typical application scenarios

Focuses on high-density, ultra-lightweight, high-frequency dynamic current applications such as AI/AR smart glasses, micro-sensors, Bluetooth earphones, and wearable medical devices; compatible with DC-DC buck/boost converters, power management ICs (PMICs), RF front-ends, and other modules.

Selection and Customization Tips

1. This specification pertains to a customized ultra-micro model; for the standard part number, please contact Huacui Microsensor for confirmation. Common inductance values range from the nH level up to the low μH level, specifically 0.1 μH to 4.7 μH (e.g., 0.1 μH, 0.22 μH, 0.47 μH, etc.), with typical tolerance of ±20%.

2. The saturation current (Isat), temperature rise current (Irms), and DCR value vary with inductance/thickness configuration;

3. Custom specifications are available based on PCB thickness, pad size, and current/frequency requirements.
