Würth Elektronik power inductors in a performance version

Improved Properties for Demanding Designs

Waldenburg (Germany), June 25, 2025 – The new WE-XHMI Performance series extends Würth Elektronik’s successful family of power inductors with improved versions in sizes 1010, 1060, 6030, and 6060. The magnetically shielded flat-wire inductors support high saturation currents while reducing DC losses for even more efficient operation.

The WE-XHMI Performance SMT inductors impress with their ability to withstand saturation currents of up to 114 A while also handling high transient current peaks. This makes them particularly suitable for use in DC/DC converters, point-of-load converters and high-current filters, as well as in industrial computers, mainboards and graphics cards. These latest improvements now enable Würth Elektronik to meet the growing demand for low-loss solutions at high switching frequencies and maximum power density, driven by GaN and SiC transistor technologies.

Low DC losses at higher rated current 

The new generation of molded WE-XHMI flat-wire inductors outperforms other products of the same size by offering the lowest R_DC combined with low AC losses. Compared to the standard products in the series, the new “Performance” models feature an extended inductance range, a higher operating temperature (-55°C to +150°C), up to 30 percent lower resistance, and up to 50 percent higher rated currents. Thanks to their significantly reduced DC losses compared to inductors of the same size, the new models enable more efficient operation with lower self-heating. Low DC losses at higher rated currents help raise the efficiency of switching regulators.

The new inductors are now available from stock without a minimum order quantity. Developers can receive free samples.
