The MPLC series Metal Composite Inductor with the round wire coil. It is designed for low current applications. Note the lower ripple current rating of up to 15A, as compared to the MPC series 30A. However, the MPLC offers inductance up to 4.7µH as compared to 1µH for the MPC device. Like the MPC, there are two sub series one is MPLCG offers low loss or higher efficiency at lower current, while the other is MPLCH allows for higher current.
Improved power supply efficiency with composite metal core
Metal cores reduce core losses and improve power supply efficiency at light loads
Used as part of a filter or for energy storage
High permeability for higher inductance with lower DC resistance
Low losses at higher switching frequencies
Moulded metal structure reduces acoustic noise
Higher current power and saturation in smaller packages
