FASTRON announces its 1210CMF series, a new common mode choke for data communication in a typical chip inductor design, with dimensions of 3.6 x 2.7 x 2.95mm. Due to inductance values of 11µH, 80µH, and 100µH, the common mode chokes mainly apply to CAN- and CAN FD bus systems, but as well as to FlexRay, A2B, and other data communication technologies. Additional applications for the 1210CMF are wideband noise suppression, filtering and EMC protection.
The 1210CMF has two parallel copper windings, wound as a single-layer providing a symmetric coil. A ferrite plate on top of the ferrite core works as a magnetic shield and allows for pick-and-place assembly. The typical impedance @10MHz of the 1210CMF ranges depending on inductance value from 550Ω (@11µH) to 5100Ω (@100µH). The DCR varies from 0.4Ω to 2.3Ω, and the rated current ranges from 150mA to 300mA.
Common to all 1210CMF is an insulation resistance of a minimum of 10MΩ, a leakage inductance of typical 0.13µH and a rated voltage of 80VDC. Notably is the low winding capacitance of 12pF, applying to all three inductance values of the 1210CMF.

FASTRON released its 0603FLP, a series of semi-shielded wire-wound chip inductors.
The 0603FLP chip inductor is unique with its smaller height of 0.8mm, as compared to standard 0603 chip inductors. This new series was developed for designs where an ultra-low profile in a very limited space with reasonable current capacity is required.
A low-profile ferrite core in combination with a semi-shielding epoxy cap and enamelled copper-wire enables the 0603FLP series to provide an inductance range from 0.56µH to 15µH with a maximum rated current of 680mA. The operating temperature range is from -40 up to +125°C including component self-heating.
The choke is approved for automotive applications and is AEC-Q200 compliant. Another major application of the new chip inductor is in micro power-conversion designs where reliability, efficiency, cost, and dimensions are key factors.
Options for packaging 0603FLP are tape and reel with quantities of 1000 pieces (-08), 4000 pieces (-01) or 15000 pieces (-04). The 0603FLP, as with all of FASTRON’s components, is suitable for lead-free soldering and is RoHS compliant.

FASTRON just released its 0603AQC wire wound chip inductor series. The 0603AQC was developed to provide a much higher current range compared to the standard ceramic core chip inductors of size 0603 and, in addition, offers a higher Q and a lower DCR.
Enamelled copper wire provides the lowest coil resistance, a high Q-factor up to 50 @ 250MHz, and high current capacity up to 3.5A. A silver-palladium-platinum metallization of the terminals leads to excellent lead-free reflow soldering results. The 0603AQC is available in tape or reel packaging with standard packaging quantities of 1000 pieces (packaging form -08), 4000 pieces (packaging form -01) and 15000 pieces (packaging form -04).
An epoxy cap enables automated pick-and-place operation. The 0603AQC series includes 37 inductance values from 3.9nH to 390nH with L tolerances of ±10% and ±5%. Other tolerances are available upon request. The operating temperature range is from -40°C to +140°C, including self-heating of the component.
Major applications for the 0603AQC series are in oscillating circuits and signal filtering. This component is approved for automotive applications according to AEC-Q200 standards and is RoHS compliant.

FASTRON introduces the PIHV4119, a new high voltage SMD power inductor. Based on the successful PIS4119, FASTRON developed a compact 10 x 10mm unshielded inductor for applications up to 400VDC.
As well as its sister model the PIHV4119 provides a robust plastic moulded baseplate with integrated solder terminals. Lead free tinned terminals enable best reflow soldering results. Non-conducting ferrite cores as well as especially emailed copper wired coils provide the 400 VDC capability and enable the part to withstand much higher voltage peaks. For improved protection towards other parts nearby, an isolation tube is pulled over the drum core. Due to the low profile height of 5.2mm the inductor is suitable for many power management applications, either as a filter and suppression-choke or as energy store in a power management circuit. Due to its universal field of applications the part will fit into several markets, e.g. lighting, automotive, computer, medical, industrial, consumer, communication and surveillance.
The PIHV4119 is offered in 12 different inductance values from 15µH to 1000µH with IR max. up to 3A and DCR down to 0.085Ω. The operating temperature range is from -40°C up to +125°C.
The components are suitable for lead-free soldering and are RoHS conform.

IR (max.) : 0.34A…3A
Inductor specialist FASTRON adds a series of full-ferrite-core wire-wound chip inductors in dimension 0402 to the company’s product portfolio. Compared with the very successful 0402AS series with ceramic core, the new 0402F with full ferrite core offer higher rated current values (IR) and lower DC resistance (DCR) compared to a 0402AS with identical inductance. The impedance of the 0402F is at lower level than with the 0402AS and at lower frequency while the coil Q-factor becomes slightly higher. Finally single layer winding up to an inductance of 180nH results in an excellent HF-performance of the 0402F.
The 0402F is a logical complement to the 0402AS both to be used in several high frequency applications. Due to improved performance regarding power losses the 0402F is a perfect part for resonant circuits. The major applications for the 0402F are oscillators, signal generators and RF filters mainly used in telecom- and wireless communication systems as well as in measurement-, automotive- and industrial systems.
The 0402F is available with inductance values from 20nH to 270nH. The operating temperature for the 0402F series is -40°C to +85°C.

FASTRON takes over RAPID Biomedical
RAPID Biomedical, a medtech company based in Rimpar in the German state of Lower Franconia, changed ownership. The existing five partners sold the medium-sized company to a private entrepreneur who produces components for the electronic industry.
RAPID Biomedical was founded in 1998 as a spin-off of Wurzburg University by the former Chair of Biophysics, Dr. Axel Haase, and his wife Ulrike Haase, a legal expert. In 2003 RAPID Biomedical was joined by Physicists Dr. Titus Lanz, Dr. Florian Odoj and Dr. Alexander Weisser as acting partners. In 2006 RAPID MR International was founded in Columbus, Ohio, in order to serve customers of the US market.
RAPID develops and produces high frequency coils for Magnetic Resonance Tomography (MRT). The range of potential applications includes clinical as well as pre-clinical examination methods. RAPID Biomedical coils are being used in MRTs of all renowned MRT equipment manufacturers. Its unique expertise in the production of client oriented solutions made RAPID a partner of many research groups around the world. Thus, since the founding of RAPID, over 1.000 various products were being developed and built, a substancial part of which has been approved for medical purposes. Due to the long-term-experience and the multidude of assignments, RAPID Biomedical is able to cater to the most demanding customer requests.
Both companies, RAPID Biomedical Germany, and the US-affiliate RAPID MR International, were now sold to the FASTRON group. „It was time for a generation change“, says Ulrike Haase who worked for 17 years as CEO for RAPID Biomedical. „I am happy that RAPID Biomedical remains in private hands and still serves as regional employer at Rimpar near Wurzburg. I am also delighted about the concurrent takeover of RAPID MR International.“ She also emphasizes the fact that „FASTRON will offer valuable experience in a highly efficient manufacturing technology field, thus being able to serve RAPID's clients on an even more efficient level.“
FASTRON, with locations in Munich, Hungary and Malaysia, trusts in the creative expansion of their product range and is looking forward to multiple synergies due to the acquisiton of RAPID. FASTRON was founded in 1978 in Germany and Malaysia. Today FASTRON produces a broad range of inductors and coils for electronical uses, mainly for the automotive industry, high frequency and power supply industries as well as lighting and medical technologies. The company is run in second generation by Felix Faskerty out of Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. „RAPID Biomedical is an ideal addition to the FASTRON group. The outstanding expertise of RAPID in the field of high frequency coils promises a great potential for future developments“ say FASTRON Boss Felix Faskerty. He adds: „The location in Lower Franconia and the sales unit in the United States are perfectly situated.“
The new managing director will be the physicist and previous sales manager of RAPID Biomedical, Dr. Florian Odoj.

The new PISP models from FASTRON are mid-size SMD power inductors positioned between the shorter PISM- and the higher PISN-models.
Like the very popular PISL-, PISM- and PISN-inductors the PISP parts use the similar baseplate of the dimension 13mm x 9.55mm and a core with a diameter of 8.5mm. The height of the PISP is 8 mm, which is in between the PISM (height 5.35mm) and the PISN (height 11.50mm).
The PISP chokes are available with inductance values from 6.8µH to 10mH and offer a DC current (IΔT = 40°C) of up to 3.6A. Due to the high SRF of to 19 MHz and the very low DCR down to 18 mΩ, the PISP inductors fit very well in power supply applications and filter circuits. Of course the new chokes are suitable for lead-free soldering and are RoHS conform.

FASTRON is announceing several new models of SMD power-inductors for high voltage applications.
These new HV-models are designed to resist operating voltages up to 400 Volt DC and
have the ability to withstand much higher short term voltage peaks.
Due to the low resistance of copper wire coil, the choke provides minor self-heating and
therefore low heat increase in the application.
The models PISMHV and – brand new - the PISNHV share the same base-plate size of 9,35mm x 12,8mm.
For higher current requirements FASTRON offers the PISTHV which has a size of 15,2mm x 18,7mm.
Similar to the standard (non HV) models the PISMHV, PISNHV and the PISTHV are applicable in high temperature environments
as well as in applications where special robustness is necessary.
The key-data of the new HV parts are:
•
PISMHV
: inductance up to 2,2mH, current up to 3,5A; height 5,35mm
•
PISNHV
: inductance up to 10mH, current up to 3,27A; height 11,5mm
•
PISTHV
: inductance up to 10mH, current up to 4,9A; height 12mm.
Main applications for the new HV inductors are power supplies, filters and noise suppression.
The components are suitable for lead-free soldering and are RoHS conform.
Together with our employees we successfully donated food and essential items, valued MYR 3,000 for the thousands of flood victims throughout Malaysia. Thank you to everyone who was involved and made this a great success.
FASTRON has designed a new mid-size 10x10mm shielded Power Inductor Series.
