ELC-10D392E

Fixed inductors are electrical components that enable electric current to flow in a continuous pattern through circuits. A widely used electrical component, they are frequently found in many different projects and electronic devices. Among these, the ELC-10D392E is a popular through-hole inductor.

The ELC-10D392E is a surface mountable, multi-layer ceramic type inductor that can handle currents of up to 0.2 Amps. The inductor has a fixed inductance value of 392 mH with a 20 percent tolerance rating. It also comes with a storage temperature range of -55°C to +130°C, operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, and a maximum voltage rating of 1.25W. Its maximum DC resistance is 0.07 ohms.

The ELC-10D392E possesses an unconventional design compared to other fixed inductors because it is composed of a winding circuit with an air gap disposed in very close proximity to the core. This allows it to reduce losses related to air gap inductance, enabling for a greater output. The coil has a high saturation rate, which means it can handle a considerable amount of electricity and reach its maximum current before it breaks down.

The ELC-10D392E inductor is most suitable for applications with DC/DC converters, switching regulators, voltage regulators, power supplies, automotive electronics and many other applications that require frequency control and voltage transformation. It is also used as a constant current source for LEDs and other circuits. The ELC-10D392E has an adjustable time constant, which makes it ideal for controlling the speed of motors and pumps, and adjusting the luminosity of lamps.

The operating principle of the ELC-10D392E inductor is simple. When a voltage is applied to the inductor, it creates a magnetic field. When the current is increased, the magnetic field intensifies and the inductance of the inductor increases. As the magnetic field grows, a counterforce is created, eventually reaching a point where it begins to push against the current and a portion of that energy is converted into heat.

The ELC-10D392E is an efficient and reliable fixed inductor that has helped shape the development of many modern technologies. Its air gap design allows it to reduce losses, while its adjustable time constant can be applied to a range of applications, from frequency control to voltage transformation. It is this combination of features that make the ELC-10D392E such a notable and popular fixed inductor.
