5900-180-RC

Fixed inductors, also known as power inductors, can be used in a number of industrial and commercial applications requiring inductive loads for electrical signals. A fixed inductor, such as the 5900-180-RC, is capable of creating a permanent magnetic field through a wound wire coil with a core material, usually made of metal. The coil carries a steady current when energized, generating the magnetic field.

The 5900-180-RC fixed inductor is a heavy-duty power device with 180 μH maximum inductance in a shielded, linear package. Its power capability ranges from up to 33 Amps, and it operates with temperatures between -40°C and +125°C. The common application areas for the 5900-180-RC power inductor include power storage/conversion, high-performance switching, DC/DC converter circuits, power back-up systems, and motor drive systems.

The 5900-180-RC power inductor\'s working principle is quite simple. When electrical current flows through the winding coil, it produces a perpendicular magnetic field. The magnitude of this field is determined by the number of windings on the coil and the type of core material used. Magnetic field strength increases as more windings around the core are added. This field strength is also determined by the current\'s frequency through the coil, since the higher the frequency, the higher the field.

When a voltage is applied across the 5900-180-RC power inductor, a changing magnetic field builds up around the coil. In turn, this induces a current in the opposite direction. This current dissipates the energy stored in the field, stores the energy, or converts the energy from one form to another. In other words, the 5900-180-RC power inductor acts as an energy storage device, allowing the user to store electrical energy during a peak demand.

The 5900-180-RC power inductor can be used in a range of motor drive systems due to its capability to operate at high frequencies. Due to its heavy-duty specifications, it can endure high temperature and high currents for extended periods. The core material also offers superior resistance to aging and temperature variations. Compared to other inductor materials, the 5900-180-RC core material offers high-power efficiency, power density, and high reliability.

In conclusion, the 5900-180-RC fixed inductor is an effective and reliable power device offering excellent performance in a range of applications. Its core material offers superior resistance to aging and temperature variations, while its capability to operate at high frequencies make it suitable for a range of motor drive systems. Its high power density and efficiency will allow users to store electrical energy during peak power demand.
