SUMMARY:Power Inductor technologies
DESCRIPTION:Power Inductor technologies\nWürth Elektronik Free Webinar on October\, 27th 2026 at 4PM CEST \n\nPractical Selection and Product Positioning \n\n\n\n\nChoosing the right power inductor is rarely as simple as matching an inductance value – two parts with identical specs on paper can behave very differently once DC bias\, temperature\, and layout come into play. This webinar breaks down what actually drives product choice for power inductors\, from core material and construction to package size and shielding. \nThe webinar covers the key selection factors beyond inductance – DC resistance\, saturation current\, rated current\, size\, and construction – the practical differences between ferrite and powder cores\, and how design details like wire type and shielding shape real-world performance. \nUsing concrete examples – including same-inductance\, same-footprint parts that behave completely differently under load – the webinar also points out the common selection mistakes and how to avoid them. The presentation also makes the participants walk through Würth Elektronik’s digital tools\, Product Navigator and REDEXPERT\, for turning a design concept into an exact part number. \nBy the end\, the participants will be able to identify the real bottleneck in the design\, match it to the right product family\, and use WE’s tools to select and verify the exact part – saving time and avoiding costly redesigns.
