36401E8N2A

Fixed Inductors are fundamental components used in many different electronic circuits, mainly used for filtering, energy storage, and signal transformation. They are simple coils consisting of magnetic cores, wires and some basic auxiliary components that store energy in a magnetic field created by the current passing through the coils. The core material affects the increase in inductance, while the number of wires within the coil limits the workload of the coils. One of the most used Fixed Inductors is the 36401E8N2A, a device specifically designed for use in digital audio applications.

36401E8N2A Application Field

The 36401E8N2A is constructed using a soft magnetic metal core, High Temperature Cured (HTC) Magnetically Shielded Bobbin and Nickel Plated copper wire of size AWG 36 (diameter is 0.0126 inches). Its competitive advantages are large inductance, low temperature coefficient, low electrical resistance as well as high saturation current value. This makes the 36401E8N2A ideal for use in digital audio equipment, such as CD players, speakers and amplifiers, for signal filtering and power regulation.

36401E8N2A Working Principle

The 36401E8N2A is based on the fact that when a current passes through a conductor, it creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field then induces an opposing current or forces in the surrounding environment. The force tends to oppose the current flow, which is described as "electromotive force" or "self-inductance".

For the 36401E8N2A, this self-inductance is improved further by using a magnetic core. A magnetic core is a metal composite material that amplifies the magnetic field produced by the coil windings when current is passed through it. This increases the inductance of the 36401E8N2A, allowing it to be used in applications that require larger inductance values.

In addition, the insulation around the coil is necessary to prevent short-circuiting and other interference. The effective insulation used in the 36401E8N2A provides superior protection and improves the performance of the inductor. The HTC Magnetically Shielded Bobbin also helps to shield any external electric fields from interfering with the electrical current.

The 36401E8N2A inductor has a wide range of applications, from audio systems to power supplies. It provides superior performance and reliability, making it an ideal choice for audio and power related applications.
