Inductors
Custom Inductors Engineered for Demanding Applications
GB International designs and manufactures custom inductors engineered for reliability, electrical performance, and long-term production. Our inductors support automotive, industrial, power, and grid-related applications where performance consistency and environmental durability are critical.
Each inductor is developed through a collaborative engineering process, ensuring the design meets electrical, thermal, mechanical, and regulatory requirements from prototype through full-scale production.
GB International produces a wide range of custom inductor designs, including:
Toroidal & Bobbin-Wound Inductors
Toroidal and bobbin-wound inductors are engineered for efficient magnetic performance, reduced EMI, and stable inductance characteristics. These designs are commonly used in power supplies, industrial controls, and grid-connected systems.
Planar Inductors (PCB-Based)
Planar inductors are integrated directly into printed circuit boards, enabling compact designs, repeatable electrical performance, and compatibility with automated assembly. They are well suited for high-frequency and space-constrained applications.
AEC-Q200 Qualified Inductors
GBI supports inductor designs qualified to AEC-Q200 standards for automotive and transportation environments. These inductors are engineered to withstand vibration, thermal cycling, and extended operating life requirements.
EMI Suppression & Power Bead Inductors
For applications requiring noise suppression and signal integrity control, GBI offers power bead solutions designed for EMI mitigation.
