June 3, 2025 /Semi/ —Japanese component manufacturer TAIYO YUDEN has introduced its new LCQPB series of ferrite-based wire-wound power inductors, designed to meet AEC-Q200 automotive standards. These inductors are tailored for noise filtering and current smoothing in DC-DC converter circuits across vehicle body control and infotainment systems.

The LCQPB series features a frameless structure to minimize footprint while maintaining noise suppression at high frequencies, meeting the growing demand for compact, high-density automotive power circuits.

TAIYO YUDEN’s new lineup complements its existing automotive-qualified products, including the LCEN and LCCN metal composite inductors, and the ferrite-based LCXN and LCXH series. With the addition of LCQPB, the company offers expanded options in both material composition and design architecture.

Production of the LCQPB series began in March 2025 at the company’s manufacturing facility in the Philippines. Samples are priced at 50 yen ($0.35) per unit.
