CLS62NP-102KC

Fixed Inductors

A Fixed Inductor is a device commonly used in electrical circuitry to store energy in the form of a magnetic field. Typically, this is done by wrapping insulated copper wire around a core material, such as iron, ferrite, or soft iron sprayed with plastic or epoxy. This creates a coil, which will react with electrical peripherals such as capacitors to produce resonance patterns and frequencies. Fixed inductors are found in many applications, including in power supplies, RF amplifiers, circuit board designs and more.

CLS62NP-102KC application field and working principle

The CLS62NP-102KC is a fixed inductor manufactured by Coilcraft that is specifically designed for use in power electronic solutions. The inductor is composed of a 0.47 mH inductance value housed in a small surface mount package with a footprint of only 5.3 x 4.2 mm. This small size enables it to fit in most applications requiring high efficiency, high power solutions.

The CLS62NP-102KC is commonly used in consumer electronics for its reliability and high efficiency. As a low profile, surface mount fixed inductor, the CLS62NP-102KC is ideal for use in narrow, high power solutions such as portable devices, LED and LCD televisions, PCs, digital cameras and other electronics. It is also used in appliance designs such as coffee makers and audio-visual systems.

The working principle of the CLS62NP-102KC is based on the stored energy in the form of a magnetic field generated by winding a coiled wire around a core material. The coil is then perforated with holes to allow electrical current to flow through it and generate a magnetic field. This magnetic field produces a force that opposes the current passing through it, thus creating resistance which can be used to generate various frequencies or even amplify them. The core material also acts as an insulator, preventing the movement of electrons and thus preventing short circuits.

The magnetic field created by the CLS62NP-102KC can be used to regulate energy consumption, voltage, and current as needed when working with sensitive electronic devices. Additionally, due to its low profile design, it is able to fit in tight spaces, and since it is an SMD part, it also provides ample heat dissipation which helps extend its lifetime. Overall, the LCS62NP-102KC is an ideal choice for high power solutions needing a reliable, efficient, and low profile component.
