Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) for Automotive Applications 'Somaloy(R)'
Somaloy(R)
Achieving alloy-level low loss with pure iron-based powder!
In EV charging systems, improving power conversion efficiency and suppressing heat generation that accompanies it are essential. Particularly in boost reactors, where operation at high frequencies is indispensable, reducing losses becomes crucial. If loss reduction cannot be achieved, issues such as decreased power conversion efficiency, the resulting increase in component size, and reduced reliability due to heat generation may arise. Our soft magnetic composite material (SMC) 'Somaloy(R)' provides a solution that contributes to loss reduction and miniaturization in response to these challenges. 【Application Scenarios】 - Boost reactors for DC/DC converters 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Significantly reduces eddy current losses in the high-frequency range, contributing to loss reduction - Enhances manufacturing efficiency due to high compressibility and ease of handling - Supports the development of compact and lightweight reactors
