Fixed Inductors

An inductor is an electronic device used to store energy in the form of a magnetic field. Fixed inductors are components designed to have a specific value of inductance. They act as either a low-pass filter or as an ac that limits the voltage applied across its terminals. One common fixed inductor is the IMS02RU1R0K.

Application Field

The IMS02RU1R0K is a through-hole fixed inductor with a max current rating of 2.5A. It has a wide range of applications, including power converters, power line filtering, high-frequency circuit switching, and noise suppression. They can also be used in applications that require high currents, such as DC-DC converters, LED lighting and inverters.

Working Principle

The IMS02RU1R0K is a self-shielded inductor that operates on Faraday’s law of induction. A change in the current flowing through the inductor coil creates a magnetic field that induces a voltage in the opposite direction. This voltage opposes the current, and this opposition creates a property called inductance, which is a measure of the inductor’s ability to store energy in the form of a magnetic field. The amount of inductance is determined by the size, number of turns, and the type of material used in the coil.

The IMS02RU1R0K has a low DCR (1.72mOhm) and low current saturation. This makes it ideal for high current applications such as DC-DC converters and LED lighting. It also has excellent thermal performance, with a maximum temperature of 125°C.

Its small size and low profile make it suitable for a variety of designs, such as small handheld devices and integrated circuit boards. The IMS02RU1R0K has a lifespan of up to 10,000 hours and is generally considered a long-lasting and reliable component.

Conclusion

The IMS02RU1R0K is a reliable fixed inductor suitable for a variety of applications. It has a low DCR and low current saturation, excellent thermal performance, and a long lifespan, making it an ideal choice for high-current applications. It is also small enough to fit into a variety of designs, making it a versatile and practical component.
