Working Principle

IM04BH100J is an inductor made up of a coil of a magnetic circuit which stores energy in the form of a magnetic field. This component is a low-frequency inductor, meaning its frequency range is usually below 100 kHz. When a direct current is applied to the coil, a constant magnetic field is created. The field strength and direction of the field depends on the ampere turns of the applied current. When a coil is subjected to an alternating current, an electromagnetic force occurs at right angles to the direction of the current. The magnitude of this force is determined by the magnitude of the current. This force produces a reactance in the coils, which is called inductance.
