ELC-09D120DF

Fixed inductors are electronic components used to generate magnetic fields in circuits. One type of fixed inductor is the ELC-09D120DF, a commercialized inductor well-known for its versatility and reliability. It is part of the Thirux/GRC series of inductors from Synergy Components, and is one of the most widely used inductors in printed circuit board assemblies.

The ELC-09D120DF is a fixed inductor that features an isolated windings, an in-built ferrite core, and both air- and vacuum-wound coils. With a rated inductance of 1.2µH-2.16µH, this inductor is best suited for applications that require a relatively high level of stability in low frequency and DC current. It is also commonly used in applications such as switching power supplies, DC/DC converters, audio filtering, voltage regulation modules, and motor drivers.

Application Field: The ELC-09D120DF is a very popular choice for many medium and high-power applications. It is often used for designing products with current ratings up to 500 mA and for frequencies between 0-300 MHz. This inductor has an operating temperature range between -40°C to +105°C, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including automotive, avionics, industrial automation, and medical devices.

Working Principle: The ELC-09D120DF makes use of an electrically-conductive wire that is coiled around an insulated, ferrite-based core. When electricity is applied at one end of the wire, a magnetic field is generated inside the core, increasing in strength with both the current and the number of turns of the coil. As the current changes, this magnetic field changes as well, inducing an electric field in the wire. This electric field produces a voltage across the inductor, leading to current flowing in the opposite direction to produce energy.

The ELC-09D120DF inductors are generally used with power supplies, as they provide a good source of low-frequency and DC power for keeping circuits operating smoothly. They are also commonly used as impedance matching devices, as their inductance value can be easily adjusted to accommodate different electrical characteristics. In addition, these inductors are also suitable for use in audio filtering applications, due to their stability in low-frequency current.

Overall, the ELC-09D120DF is a robust and reliable option for applications that require a high level of stability and reliability. Being part of the Thirux/GRC series of inductors, it promises to deliver superior performance. Its varied application field and simple working principle make this inductor a popular choice for end-users, especially those looking for a low-noise and low-loss solution.
