Fixed Inductors

Introduction

An inductor is an electrical component that resists changes in electric current. It is composed of a coil or winding of wire usually insulated with a non-conductive material such as enamel, or sometimes plastic. When electric current passes through the wire, a magnetic field is generated around it. This magnetic field produces a counteracting force to changes in the current. This phenomenon is known as inductance.

IH03EB151K Application Field

IH03EB151K is a type of fixed inductor, which is designed to store electrical energy for a variety of applications such as filters, current sensing, signal switching, voltage regulation, and impedance matching. It consists of a coil of wire with ferromagnetic core material, encapsulated in a molded plastic housing. It has a low profile, with a compact size that makes it ideal for use in confined spaces.

IH03EB151K can be used for various power and signal conditioning applications. It is suitable for for DC-DC conversion, voltage regulation, signal switching, impedance matching, and filter applications. The low profile feature makes for easy integration into a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). This component is also well equipped to handle higher frequency applications such as switching regulators.

IH03EB151K Working Principle

When current passes through the inductor, a magnetic field is created around its core. This magnetic field can store a certain amount of energy. This stored energy is related to the inductance of the component. When the current changes direction, the amount of stored energy is released back to the circuit, creating a counteracting force to the direction of the current. This phenomenon is known as inductance.

The wire winding of an inductor is responsible for its inductance. Higher inductances can be achieved by increasing the number of turns in the winding, using thicker wires, or adding a ferromagnetic core material. This core material stores most of the magnetic field energy, and increases the overall inductance of the component.

Conclusion

IH03EB151K is a type of fixed inductor used for a variety of applications. It has a low profile, making it ideal for use in confined spaces. The component consists of a coil of wire with a ferromagnetic core material, encapsulated in a molded plastic housing. Working principle of this type of inductor relies on the production of a magnetic field around its core to store energy.
