    Shielded flat-wire coil
    This coil is designed for high-efficiency DC/DC converters in automotive applications. The characteristic features of this flat-wire coil with its MnZn core are its high rated current (IR 38-47 A) and a high saturation performance. At an RDC value of 0.6 to 1.1 Ω, its resistance is lower than that of comparable c
