The Model SRR6838A Series Shielded Power Inductors are AEC-Q200-compliant, automotive-grade power inductors that further expand the range of options for high-reliability consumer, industrial and telecom applications

Developed by Bourns, the devices come equipped with a ferrite core and ferrite shield to minimize the inductors’ magnetic field radiation. They’re well-suited for applications that need to operate in low-noise environments such as in automotive driver assistant, infotainment, and lighting systems.

In addition, the Model SRR6838A Series offers an inductance range up to 100 μH and heating current up to 6.8 A. And these shielded inductors handle a broad operating temperature range of −55 to +150°C.

Lee Goldberg is a self-identified “Recovering Engineer,” Maker/Hacker, Green-Tech Maven, Aviator, Gadfly, and Geek Dad. He spent the first 18 years of his career helping design microprocessors, embedded systems, renewable energy applications, and the occasional interplanetary spacecraft. After trading his ‘scope and soldering iron for a keyboard and a second career as a tech journalist, he’s spent the next two decades at several print and online engineering publications.

Lee’s current focus is power electronics, especially the technologies involved with energy efficiency, energy management, and renewable energy. This dovetails with his coverage of sustainable technologies and various environmental and social issues within the engineering community that he began in 1996. Lee also covers 3D printers, open-source hardware, and other Maker/Hacker technologies.

Lee holds a BSEE in Electrical Engineering from Thomas Edison College, and participated in a colloquium on technology, society, and the environment at Goddard College’s Institute for Social Ecology. His book, “Green Electronics/Green Bottom Line - A Commonsense Guide To Environmentally Responsible Engineering and Management,” was published by Newnes Press.

Lee, his wife Catherine, and his daughter Anwyn currently reside in the outskirts of Princeton N.J., where they masquerade as a typical suburban family.
