Fixed Inductors

A fixed inductor is an electronic component used in electrical and electronic systems. It’s a type of inductor, meaning it stores and releases energy in the form of a magnetic field. Fixed inductors are widely used in electronic circuits for applications such as filtering and conditioning signals. One example of a fixed inductor is the CDRH73NP-180MC-B.

CDRH73NP-180MC-B Application Fields

The CDRH73NP-180MC-B is a molded-coil type of fixed inductor with an inductance value of 180 microhenries (µH). It has a tolerance of ±10 percent and is rated to handle a rated current of 3.1 amperes (A). This part is commonly used in power supplies, switching regulators, and timing circuits.

The CDRH73NP-180MC-B is manufactured from ferrite or iron powder core material. The external shape is molded into a plastic housing and includes a copper coil inside. The molded plastic housing makes it more resistant to external environmental influences, such as dust, water, and vibration.

CDRH73NP-180MC-B Working Principle

The working principle of the CDRH73NP-180MC-B involves it storing and releasing energy in the form of a magnetic field. When an electrical current passes through the copper coil inside the inductor, it creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field stores the energy, and the more current passing through the inductor, the more energy that is stored. When the current stops flowing, the magnetic fields collapse and the stored energy is released back into the circuit.

The inductance value of the CDRH73NP-180MC-B is an important factor as it determines how much energy is stored. Higher inductance values store more energy, while lower inductance stores less energy. The rated current of the inductor determines how much current can pass through it without damage.

Conclusion

The CDRH73NP-180MC-B is a fixed inductor widely used in electronic circuits. It has an inductance value of 180 microhenries and is rated to handle a current of 3.1 amperes. The working principle involves the storage and release of energy in the form of a magnetic field generated by current passing through a copper coil at its core. This part is commonly used in power supplies, switching regulators, and timing circuits.
