SMP Sintermetalle Prometheus GmbH & Co KG introduces inductive components for industrial power electronics, drives, power generation and instrumentation and control applications.

To meet the ever more demanding requirements in power electronics, SMP has developed high-performance chokes and filters. These inductive components offer a high energy storage capacity at low volume, reduced losses, good EMC characteristics and a cost-conscious design. Depending on their application, they are constructed either as single-conductor chokes for high-current applications, individual chokes, choke modules or LC filters.

For use in power electronics, power generation, and instrumentation and control, SMP supplies chokes and filters for frequencies up to 200 kHz and current ratings up to 1000 amperes, with component sizes ranging from 36 to 300 mm diameter and weights from 50 g to 130 kg. The components can be used in a temperature range up to 180 °C. They are easy to fit and, with numerous mounting options, can be mounted according to the available space. To allow for a wide range of requirements, components can be made to all common standards, including protection type IP20 and IP65. All products are RoHS- and WEEE-conformant and the materials used are UL-listed.

All SMP components are manufactured to customer specifications using in-house developed powder composites. For smaller quantities, samples and testing, a selection of standard parts is available.
