SEOUL, South Korea—Samsung Electro-Mechanics plans to mass-produce AEC-Q200 compliant power inductors for electric and autonomous vehicle applications. The electronic components are applied to power circuits to convert electricity from batteries into power required by semiconductors and to supply stable current.
Power inductors are thin-film products where thin coils are formed on the package substrates, which has the advantage of higher productivity and miniaturization than the wire wound type where the coils are wound on magnetic substances.
