AX97-10330

Fixed inductors are components that utilize an electromagnet process to convert electrical energy into magnetic energy. Inductors feature a simple design with two or more wire windings around a core or a magnetic material. The AX97-10330 is a type of inductor and is commonly used in power supply and DC/DC converter applications. This article explores the features and working principle of the AX97-10330.

Features

The AX97-10330 is a radial, through-hole fixed inductor with an average inductance of 1.3 mH and an operating temperature of -20 to +85 degrees Celsius. Its footprint is 2430 which is ideal for use on high-density printed circuit boards (PCBs). The inductor has a low DCR of 3.2 mOhms which reduces the chances of heat dissipation. It also features a workable frequency range of 100 KHz to 1 MHz and a lightning surge current of 200 A.

The inductor is also built with two separate coils which provides additional voltage isolation between the device and the circuit. This helps protect the inductor from damage due to external noise and high-frequency surges. The two coils also help to reduce the overall size of the inductor so it can be used in smaller spaces.

Working Principle

At its core, the AX97-10330 is a fixed inductor. An inductor is an electromagnetic device that stores energy in a magnetic field. When current passes through an inductor, it creates a magnetic field around the wire windings. This magnetic field then creates a counteracting voltage that opposes the current flow.

The AX97-10330 works in a similar manner. When a current is passed through the inductor, the two separate coils act like two separate inductors. This means the inductor has a higher inductance than if it had only one coil. This higher inductance helps to reduce the current noise during switching operations, which helps to extend the device’s lifetime.

The AX97-10330 also features a low DCR which helps to reduce power losses due to heat dissipation. This helps to extend the lifetime of the inductor and facilitates its use for power supply and DC/DC converter applications. The lightning surge current of 200 A is also beneficial as it helps to protect the device from damaging electrical surges.

Conclusion

The AX97-10330 is a fixed inductor designed for use in power supply and DC/DC converter applications. It features two separate coils that provide additional voltage isolation and reduce the size of the inductor. The inductor has a low DCR and a workable frequency range of 100 KHz to 1 MHz which helps to extend its lifetime. The lightning surge current of 200 A also helps to protect the device from electrical surges.
