Fixed Inductors

Fixed inductors are electrical components used in electronic circuits to provide the inductance that is necessary for creating a magnetic field. Inductors are most commonly used in signal processing applications such as filtering, impedance matching, and power factor correction. Fixed inductors come in various types and sizes, with different characteristics and specifications. In this article, we will discuss the characteristics and differences between 100-221G fixed inductors, their applications and working principles.

100-221G Fixed Inductor

The 100-221G is a fixed inductor with an operating frequency range of 10-50GHz and a nominal inductance value of 2.2nH-7.5nH. This device is designed for high frequency applications such as radio frequency (RF) circuits, antennas, and filters. They are available in surface mount as well as thru-hole versions with a wide range of surface mount packages including 0603, 0805, 1206, 1812, 2220, and so on. The 100-221G also features a high Q-factor of 70-88 at frequencies up to 50GHz, making it an ideal choice for high-frequency applications.

Applications

The 100-221G fixed inductor is ideal for a variety of RF applications such as antennas, amplifiers, filters, mixers, oscillators, phase shifters, and pulse generators. It is also used in radio frequency interference (RFI)/ electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression applications and high-speed data processing corresponding to signaling systems such as cellular phones, digital broadcasting, and satellite communications. Additionally, 100-221G inductors are also used for electromechanical devices such as switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), motor drives, etc.

Working Principle

An inductor works on the principle of inductance, which is the ability of an electric current to induce an electromotive force (EMF) in a conductor. When an electric current flows through a wire, it creates a magnetic field (flux) around the wire. When this magnetic field is exposed to a second conductor, it induces a voltage or EMF in the second conductor, which is known as the “induced EMF”. This EMF acts in opposition to the current that is flowing through the first wire, thus reducing the amount of current that flows through it.

Conclusion

The 100-221G fixed inductor is an ideal choice for high frequency applications such as antennas, amplifiers, filters, mixers, and oscillators. They feature a high Q-factor and are available in a wide range of surface mount packages. The working principle of an inductor is based on the principle of inductance, which is the ability of an electric current to induce an EMF in a second conductor.
