160R-224GS

Fixed inductors are electronic components that store energy in the form of a magnetic field when electric current is passed through them. The inductor most commonly used is the 160R-224GS, which is a type of shielded axial inductor. The 160R-224GS is particularly suitable for use in a variety of circuit designs, such as general-purpose circuits, switch-mode power supplies, and feedback loops.

The 160R-224GS consists of a winding of insulated copper wire around a ferrite core. The core helps to maximize the inductance value and to reduce unwanted noise. The cores of these inductors are usually made of a ferrite material, which has slightly lower resistance and good electrical properties. The inductor also has an additional shield around the core which provides additional protection against EMI and RFI.

The 160R-224GS is designed to provide a high inductance, in this case from 160 to 224 millihenries. This value is necessary in many applications to provide the required inductive reactance for resonant and filtering operations, as well as to limit current and voltage peaks. The inductor also gives a very good stability of its physical dimensions, with an effective, low-level self-heating to provide the most stable performance.

In terms of its applications, the 160R-224GS direct current inductors can be used in many different fields, such as for audio applications, broadcast transmitting and receiving systems, as well as data transmission systems. The inductor also has good characteristics in pulse and oscillating circuits, and is ideal for use in circuit designs that require an inductor with high stability and reliability. The 160R-224GS can be used in switch-mode power supplies to reduce the peak current and voltage and maintain the desired line and load regulation.

The working principle of the 160R-224GS is relatively simple. When electric current is applied to the inductor, a magnetic field is created around it. This magnetic field stores energy, and when the current is changed or disrupted, the stored energy is released as an electric current in the opposite direction. This creates a phenomenon known as inductance, which is a measure of the magnetic field strength.

The inductance of the 160R-224GS is what makes it suitable for many applications. As the current passes through the windings, it creates a magnetic field. This field induces a voltage in the opposite direction, which is what provides the necessary impedance and current limiting in many circuits. This is why the inductor is widely used in audio applications, as well as in power supplies and oscillating circuits.

In conclusion, the 160R-224GS is a popular, versatile and reliable shielded axial inductor. It provides excellent inductance values between 160 and 224 millihenries, and has good properties in terms of stability and low-level self-heating. The inductor has numerous applications in different fields, including audio applications, broadcast systems, and switch-mode power supplies.
