Higher Rating Achieved on RF Inductors for Military
Gowanda now has four ER series with QPL Level R status for MIL-PRF-39010 - ER10M, ER15M, ER18M and ER17S
Gowanda
Electronics, a designer and manufacturer of precision electronic
components for radio frequency and power applications, announced
achievement of failure rate Level R on two more of its MIL-PRF-39010 RF
Inductor Series – ER15M and ER18M – adding to the company’s series
already approved to Level R – ER10M and ER17S. These four thru-hole
series meet the military’s Qualified Product List (QPL) requirements for
Established Reliability (ER) and address ten different MIL-PRF-39010
slash numbers (/01 through /10). This approval required extensive
testing for electrical, environmental, mechanical and thermal
performance. Level R represents the most reliable off-the-shelf
inductors for high-reliability applications.
Gowanda’s “ER”
series are designed for RF applications in military, aerospace and space
– including defense and NASA communities. This includes use in
communication, guidance and security applications, as well as in radar,
test & evaluation, and special mission applications.
These four ER
series were initially introduced with Level M approval. As part of the
company’s commitment to the military market, Gowanda pursued the testing
required to attain higher level approvals – first achieving Level P –
and now Level R – on all four series. Level R represents a 100X increase
in reliability over the initial Level M rating. Gowanda’s four series
have cumulatively exceeded 45 million unit hours of testing.
The overall
performance range provided by the four series includes inductance from
0.10 to 1000 uH, Q min from 25 to 75, SRF MHz min from 3.4 to 680, DCR
Ohms max from 0.025 to 72, and current rating mA DC from 28 to 2900.

Performance Ranges for Gowanda's MIL-PRF-39010 Level R Series
The MIL-PRF-39010 slash number also determines the core type (phenolic, powdered iron or ferrite), shielding (iron sleeve or ferrite sleeve), and operating temperature range (-55°C to +105°C or -55°C to +125°C).
