Fixed Inductors

A fixed inductor is a device used to store and control electrical energy in a circuit. It consists of a coil of wire wound around a core. The core is typically steel, iron, ferrite, or some other material that can conduct magnetic flux. The coil is usually wrapped around the core in a specific manner, such as from side to side or in a figure 8 pattern. The inductor is formed when electric current flowing through the coil creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field is responsible for storing and controlling the electrical energy.

The CTX150-5-52LP-R is a type of fixed inductor. It is a high-performance dual-layer Lanthanum-based power inductor, designed for surface-mount applications. It is rated at up to 150A, with a temperature range of −40 °C to +125 °C. It has a maximum inductance of 5.2mH and is available in power ratings of 1.5W, 2.5W, and 3.5W.

The working principle of the CTX150-5-52LP-R fixed inductor is based on Faraday\'s law of induction. When an electric current passes through the coil, it induces a magnetic field. This magnetic field creates an induced electromotive force (EMF) in the coil, pushing the electric current around it in a circle. This electric current flow causes a reaction in the coil, creating an opposing force that is proportional to the rate at which the current changes. This opposing force, or inductance, creates a self-sustaining loop of current that is able to control and store electrical energy.

The CTX150-5-52LP-R is a versatile and robust fixed inductor. It can be used in a variety of applications, such as power management, audio equipment, telecoms, automotive electronics, power supplies, medical devices, and more. It is also suitable for use in wireless power designs, such as Qi, UniQi, Basestation and more. The CTX150-5-52LP-R is widely available and is competitively priced.
