Company Overview
Coilcraft is a leading global supplier of magnetic components including high performance RF chip inductors, power magnetics and filters. In addition to a large selection of standard components, Coilcraft also designs and builds custom magnetics to fit a customer’s exact electrical requirements. Buyers consider Coilcraft a preferred supplier because of their reputation for quality, reliable delivery, engineering support and the superior performance of their products. In independent surveys, engineers consistently rank Coilcraft the number one magnetics company they’d recommend to a friend.
Their product lines include:
Avnet Memec is currently franchised for Coilcraft across all of Europe except the UK/Ireland and Iberia.
Products
A 'broader' range of products, the highlights of which are:
- Wirewound chip inductors from 0201 to 1812 with an emphasis on tight inductance tolerance, high frequency performance and high Q factors
- Low profile, high current SMD power inductors
- Planar transformers and inductors
- EMI/RFI filters
- RFID transponder coils
- Wideband RF transformers
- Power over Ethernet transformers
- High reliability magnetics and testing services
Coilcraft's many Technical Innovations include:
- Introduced the world’s smallest wirewound chip inductor (0201) in 2004
- Also produced the industry’s first 0302, 0402, 0603, 0805 and 1008 wire-wound inductors
- Designed the first air core spring inductors suitable for automatic insertion
- Introduced the first sub-1 mm power inductor
- Pioneered many product designs that are now considered “industry standards”
