40680C

Fixed inductors refer to an electronic component which stores electrical energy in the form of a magnetic field. In any electronic circuit, it offers some form of inductance or resistance, which plays a key role in the power amplification, filtering, and matching. The 40680C is a type of fixed inductor and it is versatile in its application due to its size and cost-effectiveness.

The 40680C fixed inductor has the shape of a cylindrical core made from powdered iron or ferrite material, along with a winding of copper coil. It can be used with a current up to 100mA and has a power rating of 0.3Watts. Apart from its conventional form, the 40680C also comes in a surface-mount type, which has a 2.0mm in height and 485mH in inductance.

This type of fixed inductor is commonly used in RF applications, especially in mobile phones and wireless communication networks. It is widely used to filter out noise and interference by controlling the frequency of the radio signals. Another common application is in power supply routes. The 40680C helps to reduce the ripple in direct current (DC) power supply lines, thus allowing the safe and reliable transmission of power from the source.

The working principle of the fixed inductor is quite simple. When the current passes through the inductor’s copper coil, an opposing voltage is generated. This voltage opposes the applied voltage, which causes the current to dissipate over time. The amount of time it takes for the current to fully dissipate depends on the inductor’s inductance value and the amount of current that is passed through it. This forms the basis of the 40680C’s working principle, which is applied in various electronic applications.

The 40680C is an efficient and cost-effective fixed inductor. Due to its small size and low cost, it can be easily applied in a variety of applications, including RF applications, power supply rectification, and noise and interference filtering. It has shown good performance in all of these applications and is therefore a popular choice for many electronic designers and professionals.
