CLS5D14HPNP-4R7NC

Fixed Inductors

A fixed inductor is an electronic component consisting of an inductive winding or coil of wire, usually in the shape of a cylinder, that has a magnetic core or core material within its winding or coil. Fixed inductors are used in a wide variety of electronics applications, notably in passing or filtering AC signals or signals with wide bandwidth. The CLS5D14HPNP-4R7NC is a fixed inductor manufactured by Coilcraft.

CLS5D14HPNP-4R7NC Application Field and Working Principle

The CLS5D14HPNP-4R7NC is a low-profile, high-current, low-profile, surface-mount coil. It has an operating temperature range of –55°C to +130°C (+125°C with voltage derating). This fixed inductor is suitable for automotive, medical, industrial, military, and commercial applications such as general-purpose power applications, power supplies, switching converters, boards and LCD/drive circuits.

The core of the CLS5D14HPNP-4R7NC is made from ferrite. This material is a magnetic material and consists of iron, oxygen, nickel, cobalt, and other materials. The core is designed to locally increase the permeability of the inductor, boosting its effectiveness. It also enhances the fluctuations in inductance value when current through the inductor changes direction.

The CLD5D14HPNP-4R7NC comprises a small number of windings which are concentrically wound over the core material. The windings are connected in series or parallel, depending on the specific inductor design. This design helps reduce losses and increases the effective inductance of the circuit. The total inductance of the induction coil, as well as its other electrical characteristics, is highly dependent on the number of turns (N) made by the windings, the core material used, and the operating frequency.

For optimum performance, the CLS5D14HPNP-4R7NC should be connected in parallel with the component it is driving. The inductor\'s performance would be reduced if its windings are in an opposite direction to the component it is driving. The capacitance of the coil is also a factor in its performance, and it can be reduced by increasing the number of turns and decreasing the coil geometry.

When current is passed through the windings, a magnetic field is created due to the fact that each winding has an opposing force. This field helps build in a small amount of voltage across the windings and, depending on the design of the inductor, helps reduce the current drop. The inductor also stores a small amount of energy, which means that when the current flow is interrupted, the voltage drop across the coil windings will help maintain a certain level of energy, thus helping to stabilize the current.

The CLS5D14HPNP-4R7NC fixed inductor can be used for a wide variety of applications. Its low profile and high inductance make it ideal for use in many high-frequency applications, such as in switching converters, power supplies, and circuit boards and LCD/drive circuits.
