Vishay's new automotive-grade chokes cut DCR, shrink size to replace toroidal EMI filters

Vishay Intertechnology introduced four AEC-Q200 qualified surface-mount common-mode chokes for DC/DC converters and in-vehicle networks, offering DCR as low as 0.4 mΩ—far lower than typical 23 mΩ toroidal parts—to reduce conduction losses. The compact 1210/1812 and 5050/6050 cases support currents up to 14 A and save significant board space in electric and hybrid vehicle power systems.
