Fixed inductors are components that store electrical energy in magnetic fields, created by an electric current flowing through a coil. A product number such as 74408942068 can tell us a great deal about the inductor within. Fixed inductors have a wide range of applications in electronic circuits, they are used to filter signals, create oscillators and regulate current or voltage levels.

Composition of a Fixed Inductor

At the heart of a fixed inductor is a single piece of conductive material, primarily copper or ferrite, wound around a core. The type of core used plays an important role when it comes to determining the inductor\'s ability to perform certain tasks. Commonly, fixed inductors may use iron or ferrite cores, as these contain multilayered structures that improve the inductor\'s magnetic permeability and help decrease the size of the inductor.

Inductance

Product numbers such as 74408942068 denote the inductor\'s inductance, which is measured in Henry’s (symbolised as H). Inductance is the ability of the component to build up a magnetic field when a current is passed through it. The amount of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current flowing through the device.

Colour Coding

Colour coding can be used to differentiate between various types and styles of fixed inductors. Component manufacturers will usually provide a colour chart to identify the inductor’s inductance rating and tolerance. 74408942068 is usually identified as a two-layer, automatic optimisation, molded function, fixed inductor with an inductance rating of 2.2uH (micro Henries) and a 10 percent tolerance.

Voltage Rating

Inductors are usually rated based on their maximum current-carrying capacity (also referred to as current rating) and their maximum voltage rating. The majority of fixed inductors have a maximum voltage rating of between 1 and 10 volts, with the higher ratings usually denoted by product numbers such as 74408942068. The voltage being transferred through the inductor must be kept below the rated voltage.

Working Principle

When an alternating current flows through a complete circuit, a magnetic field develops around the inductor. As the electric current passes through the inductor, a voltage across the inductor is produced, proportional to the rate of change of the current. This phenomenon of a electromagnetic induction is the working principle of all fixed inductors.

Applications

Fixed inductors have a wide range of applications in electronic circuits. Inductors are particularly useful in filtering AC signals, for example, they are used in audio circuits to reduce AC hum and line noise from entering the circuit. Alongside this, inductors may be used in radio receivers, oscillators and timers, with 74408942068 proving to be particularly adept for such tasks. Filtering capacitors are often used in conjunction with inductors to form a high-pass or low-pass filter.
