160R-122GS

Fixed Inductors

A fixed inductor is a type of electronic component used to resist the flow of electrical current, or, stated alternatively, to store energy in the form of magnetic fields. The 160R-122GS inductor is a widely used inductor that is designed for applications requiring high performance, low power consumption, and reliability. In this article, we will discuss the application fields and working principle of the 160R-122GS inductor.

Application Fields

The 160R-122GS inductor is well-suited for power supply and filter circuits, with high-current and low EMI solutions. It features low DCR and low ESR characteristics, making it an excellent choice for low-frequency applications. Due to its high power and low voltage, the 160R-122GS is often utilized in power amplifiers, power supplies, and DC-DC converters. Additionally, its low inductance makes it a good choice for high-frequency switching power supplies.

Working Principle

As in all inductors, the 160R-122GS works on the basis of inductive reactance, which is the opposition to alternating currents in an AC circuit. When current passes through the wire of an inductor, it creates a magnetic field which opposes any changes in the current flowing through it. This opposition results in a voltage difference at the two ends of the inductor, which is called inductance. In other words, inductance is the measure of an inductor’s ability to resist changes in the current flowing through it.

The 160R-122GS utilizes a bondable construction technique to optimize the inductance and reduce its operating temperature. It features a unique construction which uses an internal base-metal electrode, limiting brazing, and a cover layer of high temperature resistant material. This helps reduce inductance humidity, temperature, and vibration during operation. Additionally, the device features internal shielding to reduce parasitic inductance and EMI.

Conclusion

The 160R-122GS is a widely used fixed inductor designed for applications that require high performance, low power consumption, and reliability. Its bondable construction and internal shielding make it an excellent choice for low-frequency applications, as well as high-frequency switching power supplies. We hope that this article has provided a comprehensive overview of the application fields and working principle of the 160R-122GS inductor.
