January 2, 2025 /SemiMedia/ — TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. has commenced mass production of its new MCOIL™ LSCN series multilayer metal power inductor, the "LSCND1005CCTR47MH" (1.0 x 0.5 x 0.33 mm). Designed as a choke coil for power supply circuits in wearable devices such as smartphones, AR/VR glasses, TWS devices, and smartwatches, this inductor is 40% thinner than its predecessor, the "LSCNB1005EETR47MB" (1.0 x 0.5 x 0.55 mm). With a thickness of just 0.33 mm, it supports the miniaturization and slim design of advanced electronic devices.

As smartphones, AR/VR glasses, and wearable devices adopt higher-performance processors, more sensors, multiple cameras, and larger batteries, the demand for smaller and thinner electronic components has intensified. Particularly, foldable smartphones with larger screens and compact sizes, along with multi-layered circuit boards, require ultra-thin components. Similarly, wearable devices like AR/VR glasses, TWS devices, and smartwatches demand lightweight, compact, and thin components to ensure a sleek design and comfortable wearability.

To address these evolving needs, TAIYO YUDEN has expanded its MCOIL™ LSCN series of multilayer metal power inductors, which feature metallic magnetic materials with high DC saturation characteristics. The new "LSCND1005CCTR47MH" leverages advanced multilayer technology to achieve a remarkable thickness of 0.33 mm, providing exceptional support for device miniaturization and slimness.

Mass production began in December 2024 at WAKAYAMA TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD., a subsidiary located in Inami-cho, Hidaka-gun, Wakayama Prefecture. Samples are available at a price of 50 yen per unit.
