Gowanda and TTI Sign Distribution Agreement
TTI, Inc., a leading specialty distributor of electronic components, is now an authorized North American distributor of Gowanda’s inductors and chokes for RF, microwave and power applications. “The depth and breadth of TTI’s distribution network will assure that Gowanda’s high performance inductors are readily-available to electronic engineers designing next-generation products for industrial, military and medical applications around the world,” said Don McElheny.
High Performance Surface Mount RF Inductors to be Featured at IMS
These series deliver nearly 2X or more improvement in SRF and Current Rating compared to traditional designs.
The CC4H (ceramic core) and CF4H (ferrite core) series are each available in 3 physical sizes. The performance ranges include inductance from 0.0082 µH to 1000 µH, Q min from 30 to 75, SRF MHz min from 2 to 4000, DCR ohms max from 0.060 to 30 and Current Rating mA DC from 96 to 2430. These series respond to the market need for ever-increasing component performance for RF applications in commercial, medical and military markets.
Shielded Surface Mount RF Inductors with Higher Inductance
Gowanda expanded its SML32S “1210” Shielded Series raising the upper level of inductance to 470 uH and increasing the number of parts by 20%.
The performance range provided by the expanded SML32S series includes inductance from 0.1 uH to 470 uH, DCR ohms max from 0.15 to 25 and current rating mA DC from 91 to 1175. This series expansion responds to the market need for higher inductance shielded inductors for RF applications in commercial, medical and military communities. That includes use in communication, guidance, security, radar and test & evaluation.
First in Industry – RF Surface Mount Inductors with Established Reliability
Gowanda’s ER5025S provides MIL-PRF-39010 qualified inductors in surface mount configuration for military and other high reliability RF applications.
This series complements MIL-PRF-39010 QPL axial-leaded (thru-hole) products and enables their conversion to SMT circuitry via this new MIL-PRF-39010 qualified SMT series. ER5025S meets QPL’s ER requirements to failure rate level M (for /17 and /18). The performance ranges provided by this series include inductance from 0.10 to 10,000 µH, Q min from 40 to 60, SRF MHz min from 1.0 to 450, DCR Ohms max from 0.025 to 139, and current rating mA DC from 30 to 2245.
First in Industry – RF Surface Mount Inductors with Established Reliability
Gowanda’s ER3013 Series breaks new ground by providing SMT option to traditional thru-hole designs, for military and other high-reliability RF applications.
This series responds to a market need for faster circuit board assembly via SM devices. ER3013 addresses MIL-PRF-39010 (/19, /20 and /21) and meets QPL’s ER requirements to failure rate level M. Inductance ranges from 0.10 to 1000 µH, DCR Ohms Max ranges from 0.08 to 72, and Current Rating mA DC ranges from 28 to 1380.
