FP1008R4-R180-R

Introduction

Fixed inductors, or inductive components, are passive electronic components that store electrical energy and use it in a variety of ways. They typically comprise a wire or core of metal or inductor insulation (air or other insulating material) which is wrapped in an outer coil of wire. In the case of the FP1008R4-R180-R, it features a radially threaded core material that offers an extended life and high permeability.

Application Field

The FP1008R4-R180-R inductor can be found in a number of applications, dependant on customer requirements. These includes:

• AC motor run inductors
• AC adaptors and inverters
• Lead-acid battery chargers
• Power supplies for LED lighting
• Telecommunications
• Medical equipment
• Power transformers

Working Principle

An inductor works on the principle of storing and releasing electrical energy. When electrical current is applied to the inductor, an electromagnetic field is generated which causes energy to be stored in the component. As the current is decreased, the inductor will attempt to maintain its current flow, due to the inductance value of its core. As the current reduces, the stored energy is released in an opposite direction. The frequency and amplitude of this current surge, and amount of energy released, is dependent on the inductor\'s inductance value, the number of turns of the winding, and the rate at which the current is changing.

Summary

The FP1008R4-R180-R inductor is a fixed inductor component suitable for many applications. It features a radially threaded core material that offers an extended life and high permeability. It works on the principle of storing and releasing electrical energy, and can be also be used for AC motor run inductors, AC adaptors and inverters, lead-acid battery chargers, power supplies for LED lighting, telecommunications, medical equipment and power transformers.
