Inductors & Chokes

Custom power inductors, common-mode chokes and SMD inductors by P&A International

Custom Inductors & Chokes

Inductors and chokes store energy, smooth current and suppress EMI across power and data lines. P&A International engineers, prototypes and delivers custom power inductors, common-mode chokes, filter chokes and SMD inductors — litz, flat-wire and multi-layer constructions — built to your inductance, current and saturation requirement.

As an engineering-led contract manufacturer founded as an engineering consultancy, we assign one dedicated engineer to your project from design review to qualified samples in 10–15 working days, then scale into volume through our vetted partner-factory network, where every supplier is ISO 9000 certified or better.Request a quote ›

Why choose PA inductors & chokes

High current, low loss

Litz and flat-wire windings and the right core give high saturation current and low AC resistance.

EMI suppression

Common-mode and differential chokes designed for the insertion loss and frequency band you need.

Stable inductance

Core grade and gap chosen for stable inductance versus current, temperature and frequency.

Any format

Power, filter, flat-wire high-current and SMD inductors, through-hole or surface-mount.

Engineering capability

  • Magnetic design & simulation — inductance, saturation, DCR, AC resistance, core loss
  • Core grade and gap selection for stable L vs current and temperature
  • Litz, foil, flat-wire and multi-layer winding for low AC resistance
  • Common-mode and differential chokes for EMI/EMC suppression
  • Power, filter, output, PFC and SMD inductor designs
  • DFM review to hit target cost while preserving performance
  • Qualified samples with full test data before any volume tooling
  • One dedicated engineer owns the project end-to-end

Why engineers & buyers choose PA

For design engineers

A true design partner — one dedicated engineer, full simulation and DFM support, rapid samples, and inductors and chokes optimised for saturation, DCR, AC resistance and EMI. We design to your inductance, current and frequency — not just catalogue parts.

For purchasing

Low-risk scalability — predictable 10–15-day prototypes, flexible MOQ from one-off to production, target-cost DFM, a single point of contact, and a vetted ISO 9000+ partner network managed end-to-end by P&A. No hand-offs, no surprises.

3 easy steps to get started

1

Send us your spec

Send your drawing or spec sheet. One dedicated engineer reviews it and confirms the technical details with you.

2

Proposed design & quote

You receive a proposed design and indicative pricing — typically within 48 hours — to review and refine together.

3

Samples & production

Qualified samples with full test data in 10–15 working days; on approval we scale into volume through our partner network.

Applications

SMPS output & filter · PFC and boost · EMI/EMC input filters · motor drives and inverters · renewable and energy storage · audio and RF.

Choosing the right inductor or choke

A few decisions shape every inductor design — sharing this detail lets us quote and prototype faster:

Function Power/output storage, PFC, EMI common-mode or differential filtering – the function sets core, winding and topology.
Inductance & current Required inductance, rated and peak/saturation current and ripple set the core size, gap and wire.
AC resistance At high frequency, litz, foil or flat-wire winding cuts AC/proximity loss for efficiency and temperature rise.
Core & stability Powder, ferrite or gapped cores are chosen for stable inductance versus current and temperature.
Format Through-hole, SMD, flat-wire high-current or chassis, with the footprint and height you need.

What to send us for a fast, accurate quote

The more of this you can share, the quicker we can return a proposed design and price:

  • Inductance, tolerance and rated / saturation current
  • Function (power, PFC, output, common-mode, differential)
  • Ripple current, frequency and DCR / AC-resistance targets
  • Mounting (through-hole / SMD / chassis) and footprint/height
  • Temperature rise and EMI requirements
  • Target cost and annual volume or call-off pattern
  • Any reference design, competitor part number or physical sample

Working from a competitor part or a sample is fine — our engineer will reverse-engineer it or design a drop-in equivalent to your specification.

    Frequently asked questions

    What types of inductors and chokes do you make?
    Power and output inductors, PFC and boost inductors, common-mode and differential EMI chokes, and SMD inductors – in litz, foil, flat-wire and multi-layer constructions.
    How do you achieve high current with low loss?
    High-saturation cores plus litz, foil or flat-wire winding give high current capability and low AC/proximity resistance for efficiency and low temperature rise.
    Can you design EMI common-mode chokes to a target insertion loss?
    Yes – common-mode and differential chokes are designed for the insertion loss and frequency band your EMI filter needs.
    Through-hole or SMD?
    Both – through-hole, surface-mount, flat-wire high-current and chassis formats to your footprint and height. Every supplier in our network is ISO 9000 certified or better.
    What are prototype lead times and minimum order quantities?
    Qualified samples with full test data typically in 10-15 working days. Volumes scale through our vetted partner-factory network; share your annual volume for an MOQ with the quote.
