Fixed Inductors

Inductors are passive two-terminal electrical components used to store energy in an electromagnetic field. Fixed inductors are types of inductors with a fixed inductance – the constant opposition of the flow of alternating current offered by the inductor remains fixed. This type of inductor is available in various potential energy gain levels and is ideal for circuit designs where precise inductance is necessary.

In particular, for the 160-560JS application, fixed inductors provide users with advantages such as low power dissipation and minimised physical size for conveniently fitting into circuit boards or particular shaped components. The 160-560JS inductors are the perfect choice for a broad range of commercial and industrial applications, from transformers to radios, power supplies, RF communication, and more.

Working Principle

In an alternating current (AC) circuit, a fixed inductor works by creating a self-inductance in an electric current. This self-inductance links the electric current and the voltage in the circuit forming a magnetic field inside the inductor. When the flow of current is changed, the magnetic field is also changed. This creates the opposing effect of the inductance – the flow of current in the AC circuit is slowed down and resisted.

In addition, the inductance of the fixed inductor creates a resistor in the electric circuit, with the effect of reducing the total current in the circuit. The organization of the inductor is built upon the principle of magnetic links, which work by linking the magnetic field created by the electric current to the inductance of the inductor.

Uses of Fixed Inductors

Fixed inductors can be used in a wide variety of applications, due to their ability to provide consistent and exact inductance levels without flaring. In addition to the traditional transformers and radio applications mentioned earlier, these devices are ideal for stable power circuits, filter circuits, switching power supply circuits, current detection circuits, communication circuits, and more.

At the same time, their compact size is also an invaluable asset in applications such as circuit boards, antennas, sensors, and other electronic components as they require to be small in size and yet hold and transmit a precise electrical current.

Advantages of Fixed Inductors

Aside from precise controlling of inductance, the greatest advantage of using fixed inductors lies in their superior resistance to strong current. When electric currents pass through the inductor, the only resistance that develops is simple thermal resistance, which is far lower than the resistance offered by variable inductors.

On the other hand, if superior energy efficiency with low power loss is desired in a circuit design, then the use of a fixed inductor is the obvious choice. This is due to the fact that not only do fixed inductors require less electricity to operate, but they can also bear higher temperatures.

Conclusion

In conclusion, 160-560JS fixed inductors provide users with a number of advantages. Along with offering low power dissipation and minimal physical size, these inductors have a resistance to strong current and require minimal electricity to operate. As such, they are the ideal choice for a variety of commercial and industrial applications where accurate and efficient inductance is needed.
