SURFACE-MOUNT INDUCTOR RL-9580 SERIES

As more details of our lives are converted into digital formats,

demand for computing devices and network systems will continue to rise. With critical information (i.e., medical health records) now available in electronic form, professionals and individuals require their devices and networks to be secure and reliable. With this in mind, Renco Electronics has released its newest surface-mount inductor: the RL-9580 Series.

The RL-9580 features sturdy assembly and the capacity to work at extremely high temperatures, allowing for reliable functioning even in arduous environments. This surface-mount also handles high transient current spikes without saturation. In addition, the RL-9580 can operate at high frequencies up to 5 MHz and its composite construction allows for ultra-low EMI.
