IM02EB151K

Fixed Inductors are used in a variety of applications and can have a wide range of working principles, depending on the type of inductor design used. The IM02EB151K Fixed Inductor is a particular type of inductor used in applications including filters, power supplies and adjustable or switched-mode power supplies.

Applications

The IM02EB151K Fixed Inductor is designed for high voltage applications and has a wide operating temperature range, from -55°C to +105°C. Its low DCR and high inductance are the main feature of the inductor that make it suitable for applications such as power supplies, L band and broadband amplifiers and power factor correction (PFC). It has an operating voltage rating of up to 2,500 V DC and a continuous DC current rating of up to 3.0 A.

Due to its adjustable design, it can be used for a variety of applications, including:

• High-voltage EMI filters
• Audio and radio frequency filters
• Power supply circuits
• Motor control
• Switched-mode power supplies (SMPS)
• High-voltage rectifiers
• Adjustable power supplies
• Voltage-regulated DC/DC converters

Working Principle

An inductor is a type of electronic component which stores energy in a magnetic field. This principle is used in the design of the IM02EB151K Fixed Inductor. The inductor adopts a toroidal core design which is much more efficient for storing energy than traditional circular core designs. The toroidal core is made from a soft ferrite material which ensures the inductor has a high saturation flux density, enabling it to store a larger amount of energy.

The IM02EB151K Fixed Inductor also features a winding style which allows for more efficient energy transfer. The bobbin acts as the winding support and the copper wire is wound around the bobbin in concentric rings and in a “multi-layer” design. This allows for efficient energy transfer and reduces resistive losses from eddy current caused by the changing magnetic field.
