TAIYO YUDEN Launches the Automotive Power Inductors LCXH Series

Production of the products commenced at our overseas subsidiary company, TAIYO YUDEN
(PHILIPPINES), INC. (Lapulapu City, Cebu, the Philippines), from March 2022.

Technology Background
Recently, produced vehicles have been equipped with an ever-greater number of electronic control units, typified by ADAS units. This requires a greater number of power supply circuits, which boosts the demand for power inductors used inside them. In addition, camera-based visual inspections and mounting inspections with an X-ray inspection system are used to evaluate the reliability of soldering in vehicle manufacturing processes, which requires power inductors to have electrodes that are structured to adapt to such inspection systems.

In response to this requirement, TAIYO YUDEN sophisticated the materials technology and design it had nurtured, including the sleeveless structure with its advantageous compact size and high current capacity, and launched the LCXH series, in which electrodes are structured to meet such requirements for automotive products. The LCXH series is available as 64 items in total, with a wide selection of characteristics, ranging from 3-mm to 6-mm square in size, to satisfy demand for use in various devices comprising automotive body systems and information systems such as infotainment ECUs.

TAIYO YUDEN focuses on the development of products that meet market needs, and will continue to expand its power inductor product lineup.
