Fixed Inductors

An AIML-0805-1R0K-T fixed inductor is a type of inductor that is designed and manufactured using a variety of materials to create specific inductance values in order to meet the requirements of an application. Fixed inductors are usually used in applications that require an accurately repeatable inductance, such as filter circuits or signal chokes, and may also be configured for higher frequency applications.

Fixed inductors are available in multiple shapes and sizes which cover the wide range of applications that can benefit from them. Types of fixed inductors available include wire-wound, exposed-core and shielded, axial and radial leaded, multilayer, and SMT types. All of these have been designed to target different types of circuits, from low frequency to high frequency applications, and for multiple current demands.

Applications of Fixed Inductors

Fixed inductors are usually used in analog circuits, such as power supply line filter systems, signal chokes, electromotors, and dimmers. They can also be used in electronic circuit design for AC/DC currents, in PCB boards, and in radio frequency modules such as antenna design. In recent years, with improved materials and manufacturing processes, they can also be used in high frequency applications, such as cell phones and other digital applications.

Working Principle of Fixed Inductors

Fixed inductors are basically coils of wire that have a controlled amount of resistance and inductance, and have a grounded center point as the common reference for all current passing through it. The inductance is formed by winding a thin gauge wire around a core and connecting it to two lead terminals. As current passes through the wire, a magnetic field is produced and stored in the core and the surrounding windings. This magnetic field opposes changes in the current, acting as a low-pass filter. This enables fixed inductors to provide a frequency-selective filter, allowing only frequencies below its rated capacitance value to pass through.

In addition, the variation of the inductance can be used to tune the frequency of any given circuit. This is due to the fact that the coil becomes inductively coupled with the load it is attached to, resulting in an increased inductance at higher frequencies. This can be used to fine-tune the frequency of a circuit, ensuring the signal remains within a specified frequency range.

Overall, fixed inductors are an essential component in many of today’s high-speed electronics circuits, providing an efficient way to filter currents and maintain signals within a specified frequency range. They are also routinely used in devices such as motor controls, filtering systems, and other high-speed applications like cell phones.
