What are the key features of XEL3520-131MEB?
- 130nH inductance with 18.9A saturation current and only 4.05mΩ DC resistance for high-efficiency power conversion with minimal conduction losses
- AEC-Q200 automotive-qualified shielded power inductor rated for operation across a wide temperature range in harsh vehicle environments
- Compact 3.5mm x 2.0mm x 2.0mm (case code 1413) footprint with 2mm height enables low-profile automotive and industrial DC-DC converter designs
What is XEL3520-131MEB used for?
The XEL3520-131MEB is designed for use as the main switching inductor in high-current synchronous buck and boost DC-DC converters powering automotive ADAS, infotainment, and powertrain control units where AEC-Q200 qualification and a low 4.05mΩ DCR are essential for thermal efficiency. Its 18.9A saturation current makes it suitable for point-of-load converters supplying GPUs, FPGAs, and multi-core SoCs in automotive and industrial computing platforms. The shielded composite core construction ensures low EMI emissions, meeting CISPR 25 and similar automotive EMC requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 4.05mΩ DCR of the XEL3520-131MEB benefit DC-DC converter efficiency at high currents?
With a DC resistance of only 4.05 milliohms, the XEL3520-131MEB contributes just 1.45mW of conduction loss per ampere squared. At the rated 18.9A, conduction losses total approximately 1.45W, which is extremely low for a 130nH inductor at this current level, directly improving converter efficiency and reducing thermal rise in automotive and industrial power designs.
What does AEC-Q200 qualification mean for the XEL3520-131MEB in automotive system designs?
AEC-Q200 qualification means the XEL3520-131MEB has passed the Automotive Electronics Council's passive component stress test standard, including temperature cycling from -40°C to +125°C, humidity testing, vibration, and mechanical shock. This qualifies it for use in automotive grade 2 and grade 1 applications such as ADAS sensors and powertrain ECUs where long-term reliability in harsh environments is mandatory.
For a compact automotive buck converter design, what PCB area does the XEL3520-131MEB occupy?
The XEL3520-131MEB uses a 1413 case code footprint measuring approximately 3.5mm x 2.0mm with a 2mm profile height, occupying roughly 7mm² of PCB area. This compact footprint allows high-power-density designs delivering 18.9A saturation current in a fraction of the space required by larger 5mm or 6mm square power inductors.
