ER1641-164JP

Fixed inductors, such as the ER1641-164JP, are passive components, which respond to alternating current (AC) to generate a magnetic field. In the case of the ER1641-164JP, the primary use is in ac-dc power supplies, where an inductor can be used to store energy temporarily, promoting efficient energy transfer between the ac power supply and the dc load. Additionally, these types of inductors can also be used to filter or attenuate signals, ensuring that the output voltage is consistent within a specific range.

In terms of construction, the ER1641-164JP is comprised primarily of an aluminum bobbin, coated in a robust polymer, with a double-sided, through-hole design. This bobbin is affixed to a coil of copper wire, tightly wound and insulated accordingly. This physical construction allows the inductor to handle large voltages, both ac and dc, and respond quickly to an changing electric current. Furthermore, the ER1641-164JP packs 400V and 110µH, making it an ideal device for power supplies applications.

The inductor also features a self-healing core, implied by the through-hole construction, which functions to minimize current leakage and improve energy retention. Once the current dissipates, any discharged elements are replaced, extending the lifespan of the device. As a result, this type of inductor can operate for extended periods of time, even in extreme temperatures.

Additionally, the aluminum casing of ER1641-164JP acts as a heat sink, dissipating excess heat, making it ideal for power management systems like servers or motor drive control. This also further improves the longevity of the component, as it is more tolerant to heat build-up.

Moreover, the ER1641-164JP is virtually maintenance-free, providing an excellent cost-benefit ratio. Even though the inductor has a relatively short lifetime of 15,000 hours, its efficiency and reliable performance make it an ideal choice for ac-dc power supplies. This particular device is also RoHS and REACH compliant, making it a good option for global applications.

Overall, the ER1641-164JP is a robust and reliable fixed inductor, suitable for a wide range of applications related to ac-dc power supply systems. Its construction makes it an incredibly reliable component, capable of handling large voltages and dissipating heat. Similarly, its unique self-healing core allows the component to remain operational despite current leakage, extending the device\'s overall lifespan. With its excellent cost-performance value, this fixed inductor is an ideal option for designers requiring reliability and efficiency.
