3483-120M

Fixed inductors are electrical components used to store energy in a magnetic field. They are usually used in conjunction with capacitors in order to filter high frequencies, tuned circuits and radio receivers. The 3483-120M is a common type of fixed inductor used widely in many applications. It is a surface mount power inductor with particularly high current ratings, and good high frequency performance.

The 3483-120M inductor is designed to carry average currents of up to 15A, and can withstand peak currents of up to 75A. It is a commonly used choice for power supply and load related filtering applications. It also features a very low DC resistance. These factors make it ideal for applications requiring high frequency performance, such as power amplifiers, filters and some converters requiring high levels of power efficiency.

The design of the 3483-120M incorporates a thermally conductive, air gap magnetic core as part of the construction. This core is made of ferrite and is designed to reduce the eddy current losses. It also minimizes power loss due to heat, thereby increasing the efficiency of the component. The inductor coils are wound using heavy gauge wire and are designed to minimize the core losses.

In addition to its high current ratings, the 3483-120M is also suitable for applications requiring frequencies of up to 10MHz. This is due to its low leakage inductance and inductance stability. The frequency response of the 3483-120M can be further optimized by the use of special capacitors. The self-resonant frequency of the inductor can also be tailored by adjusting the winding parameters of the component.

The 3483-120M inductor is a widely used, reliable and effective component, which is used in many different applications. It offers high current ratings and good high frequency performance. It is suitable for producing filters, tuned circuits, power amplifiers and other applications requiring high current and frequency stability. The design of the 3483-120M incorporates a thermally conductive core, which reduces the eddy current and power loss due to heat, improving the overall efficiency of the component.
