160-821HS

Fixed Inductors

Fixed inductors are components widely used in different types of electronic circuits. The 160-821HS is one of the most popular fixed inductors available in the market. It is widely used in high-efficiency power supplies, digital signal processing applications and signal attenuation.

160-821HS Application Field

The 160-821HS is used in various electronic applications such as:

• High-efficiency power supplies – The inductor helps to boost the power supply’s efficiency by reducing ripple current.
• Telecommunications – The inductor is used to reduce signal noise, reduce crosstalk and enhance signal transmission quality.
• Audio signal processing – The inductor is used to filter signals, thus improving audio clarity.
• Switching mode power supplies – The inductor helps to store energy during switching.

160-821HS Working Principle

Fixed inductors work on the principle of induction. When electric current passes through the wire of the inductor, it produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field generates an electromotive force or EMF, which opposes the current flow. Thus, the inductor acts like a resistor and opposes the flow of current. The amount of current opposition is determined by the number of turns and the thickness of the wire.

The other important factor that determines the inductance of an inductor is its core material. Magnetic cores are used to increase the inductance. The core material is chosen depending on the frequency of the current. Iron cores are usually used in low-frequency components, while ferrite cores are used for higher frequencies.

The 160-821HS has a special core material – nanocrystalline – that allows high saturation current and low ferromagnetic losses. This helps to improve the efficiency of the circuit. The inductor has an inductance of 2.2uH, which makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications.

Conclusion

The 160-821HS is a very popular inductor used in many electronic applications. It is a fixed inductor which works on the principle of induction. Its core material is nanocrystalline, which offers high saturation current and low ferromagnetic losses. This helps to improve the circuit efficiency and therefore makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
