Fixed Inductors

Fixed inductors, also referred to as chokes, are electronic passive components that store energy in the form of a magnetic field. They are used to block any ac current while allowing dc current to pass through it. When placed in an electrical circuit, the flow of current is produced by the magnetic field of the inductors, resulting in greater inductance. The B82422A3820K100 is one such example of a fixed inductor.

B82422A3820K100 Application Field

The B82422A3820K100 belongs to the REEL series of fixed inductors from EPCOS, and is a 23.824uH SMT Power Inductor with an inductance tolerance of ±20%. It is designed for general use in powerline applications. The component\'s features include a high rated current of 42.4A, a high SRF (self-resonance frequency) of 12.7GHz, and a low DCR (direct current resistance) of 0.096 Ohms. It also boasts a low profile construction, making it the ideal device for applications requiring small size and accurate performance.

B82422A3820K100 Working Principle

The B82422A3820K100 works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When an alternating current (ac) is passed through the inductor, a magnetic field is created around it. This magnetic field builds up as the current passes through it, and, as a result, an opposing electromotive force (EMF) is formed. This opposing EMF is what is known as inductance. The inductance of the B82422A3820K100 is 23.824uH, which is ideal for preventing any ac current from passing through. On the other hand, the B82422A3820K100 is capable of allowing a direct current (DC) to pass through, resulting in minimal resistance.
