160-184FS

Fixed inductors are an integral part of many electrical systems. They are typically used in power supplies, motors, and other forms of electronics. The type of inductor used will depend on the application and the requirements of the system. When selecting a fixed inductor for a particular application, it is important to consider the inductor\'s application field and working principle.
Application Fields
Fixed inductors are commonly used for a variety of applications, including:

• Power supply circuits
• Electromagnetic interference suppression
• Electric motors
• High-frequency electronics, such as radios and televisions
• Regulated switching power supplies
• Space applications
• DSP applications
• Automotive applications

160-184FS Inductors
The 160-184FS series of fixed inductors from Coilcraft is an advanced product well-suited for a wide range of applications. They are available in four inductance values and three sizes. The standard resistance values range from 4.7UH to 47UH. The inductors feature a 0.22nH SRF with excellent high frequency characteristics.
Working Principle
Fixed inductors generate a magnetic field when a current flows through them. This magnetic field then induces an electromotive force in the coil, thus causing the inductor to oppose changes in current. In other words, the inductor resists changes in current. This principle is used to provide electrical energy storage in many applications, such as power supplies and motors.
The inductance of a fixed inductor is determined by the number of turns in the coil and the permeability of the core material. Increasing the number of turns increases the inductance. The permeability of the core material affects the magnetic field that is created when a current passes through the inductor. Higher permeability materials create stronger magnetic fields and therefore higher inductance values.
Conclusion
Fixed inductors are important components for many electrical systems. The 160-184FS series of fixed inductors from Coilcraft are well-suited for a variety of applications, such as power supplies and electric motors. The working principle of a fixed inductor is based on the concept of an induced magnetic field and opposition to changes in current. The inductance of a fixed inductor is determined by the number of turns and the permeability of the core material.
