CLS4D11-150NC

Fixed Inductors are electromechanical components which are used in a wide range of electrical and electronic circuitry. Their primary purpose is to store and deliver energy in the form of an electrical current. They are used in the power supply systems of most electronic devices, including cell phones, televisions, and computers, to help regulate voltage and current flow.

The CLS4D11-150NC is a fixed inductor manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corporation. This type of inductor is a surface mount, four-pin device with a low-profile design. It is composed of a ferrite core, a ceramic substrate, and four copper wires connecting the poles.

The CLS4D11-150NC is primarily used for filtering low pass applications in signal feed-through applications in the 10MHz to 500MHz frequency range. It is also used in switching circuits and DC-DC converters which require low-noise operation. The inductance range for this device is between 2.2uH and 5.6uH. It has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and a maximum rated current of 220mA.

The CLS4D11-150NC works on the principle of inductance. This is the ability of a conductor or material to oppose a change in current passing through it. As a current passes through the wires, a magnetic field is generated around the wires causing them to electromagnetically interact with each other. This interaction restricts the flow of current in the conductor, creating an opposing force known as inductance.

When an alternating current (AC) is passed through the device, the magnetic field around the wires oscillates rapidly in sync with the frequency of the AC voltage. This creates a self-induced voltage in opposite direction to the input current, reducing the AC voltage amplitude. This action is known as inductive reactance and it is this effect which makes the inductor useful in various electronic circuit applications.

The CLS4D11-150NC fixed inductor is a reliable and cost-effective device for a wide range of power management applications. It is known for its low noise performance, compact design, and wide operating temperature range. It offers high reliability and efficiency in power management related applications.
