CDRH4D14LDNP-220MC

Fixed Inductors

The CDRH4D14LDNP-220MC is a type of fixed inductor. A fixed inductor is a type of component used to amplify electric current, much like a resistor. It works by inducing an electromotive force, or as known in a colloquial term, a voltage when a current is applied.

Application Field

An inductor is commonly used in electric circuits in many ways, including providing coupling between AC and DC signals, amplifying microcontroller applications, and controlling energy flow. Fixed inductors are components designed to provide a specific inductance rating in electronic circuits. This specific inductance rate is determined by the construction materials and the size of the coil. When specific inductance values are needed in circuits, fixed inductors can be used to control the electrical flow.

The CDRH4D14LDNP-220MC is a high quality, cost efficient fixed-inductor that provides a 220 microhenry inductance value at a direct current rating of 15 A/50 mΩ. This component is typically designed for use in high current applications, including high-end consumer electronics, power supplies, automotive systems, and even LED lighting.

Working Principle

In order to understand the working principle of the CDRH4D14LDNP-220MC, a more in-depth understanding of inductors and their components is necessary. The basic element of an inductor is a wire coil, which is wrapped around a core material. The core material is usually ferrite, iron, or a combination of both. This core material is designed to provide a magnetic permeance, which increases the inductance of the device.

When a current is applied to the coil, a magnetic field is generated within the core, which induces an electric field in the opposite direction of the current. This electric field opposes the current and is referred to as self-inductance. The higher the inductance, the greater the opposition to a changing current. The CDRH4D14LDNP-220MC is designed to provide high inductance while not sacrificing efficiency, allowing a useful amount of electric current to travel through it.

The CDRH4D14LDNP-220MC is generally used in circuits to filter out electrical noise, regulate voltage drops, and provide coupling between signals. It is also used in current limiting circuits to prevent circuit damage caused by surges in electric current.

Conclusion

The CDRH4D14LDNP-220MC is an example of a fixed-inductor designed to control electrical current in circuits. It is specifically designed for applications that require an inductance value of 220 microhenry, while not compromising efficiency. This component is able to filter out electrical noise, regulate voltage drops, provide coupling between AC and DC signals, and provide current limiting capabilities in order to protect circuits.
