160-821FS

Fixed Inductors have a long and venerable history. In the modern industrial environment, they still play a vital role in many high-precision applications. The 160-821FS Fixed Inductor is a case in point. Manufactured by MMD Components, this part is designed to perform optimally in a variety of fields.The 160-821FS is a physically small part that is designed to be hidden away in boards and therefore be largely unseen. The part itself follows a classic design pattern. It consists of a sealed core made of two ferromagnetic rods, copper wire, a shielding tube, and a casing. This design provides excellent high-frequency performance and power efficiency.The 160-821FS has been designed to meet a variety of application fields. It is often used in medical and aerospace fields, and has advantages in such high-precision applications. It can also be used in communications, test equipment, and motor control applications. The part is designed to handle DC to 1MHz+ frequencies, and up to 11 Amps of continuous current.The fields of application are worth noting, as are the part’s benefits for each of them. For medical applications, the 160-821FS’s sealed construction makes it resistant to harsh cleaning processes. The robust construction also makes it ideal for use in aerospace devices which may be exposed to extreme conditions. Similarly, the 160-821FS’s high power efficiency makes it useful in communications and test equipment, where power losses have to kept to a minimum. Finally, the 160-821FS’s ability to handle DC to 1MHz+ means it is useful in motor control applications, where it is important to be able to accurately control the speed of motors.Of course, all of these advantages are dependent upon the underlying working principle of the 160-821FS. As with all fixed inductors, the part works on the principle of electrical induction. This means that when a current passes through the copper wire, a magnetic field is generated. This field wraps itself around the ferromagnetic rods, and induces a voltage across them. This voltage can then be used by the application.This method of induction is ideal in a variety of applications, especially in the higher precision and pressure applications that the 160-821FS is made for. The field it creates is extremely well regulated and can be used to ensure that the current is distributed accurately and does not cause any electrical loss. It is also very insensitive to temperature changes, a widely acknowledged benefit in many precision technology fields.In conclusion, the 160-821FS Fixed Inductor is a classic part, designed to perform well in a variety of application fields. Its advantages include its sealed core, power efficiency, high frequencies, and temperature stability, all due to the underlying working principle of electrical induction. As such, it is a highly valued asset in many precision applications, and a vital component in many medical, aerospace, communications, and control devices.
