IMS02SH180K

Fixed Inductors

A fixed inductor is an electromechanical component used to maintain a certain amount of current flow within a steady and constant electric circuit. Its construction may vary, depending on its application, but generally speaking it is composed of two parts: a coil embedded in a magnetically conductive core. Because inductors convert electrical energy into magnetic energy, they are usually found in battery chargers, motor control circuits, and other applications that require stable current flow over a period of time.

IMS02SH180K Application Field and Working Principle

The IMS02SH180K is a high-powered fixed inductor designed for use in applications such as DC-DC converters and power supplies as well as in various industrial and automotive applications. It is composed of a ferrite core and multiple windings of enameled copper wire. The ferrite core increases the inductance of the device and prevents magnetic flux losses that would otherwise occur in air-cored inductors. The enameled copper wire windings further enhance the device’s performance and reduce its temperature coefficient.

The IMS02SH180K fixed inductor has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. It has a 200mA DC maximum rated current and a 0.3 ohm series resistance, making it very efficient at handling higher current flows. The device also features superior tolerance to temperature, vibration, and shock, which makes it well-suited to a broad range of applications where reliable performance is essential.

The IMS02SH180K operating principle is based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. Whenever current flows through a wire, it generates an electromagnetic field, just like a current-carrying magnet does. This field will cause induced voltages along the wire, which will then oppose its current flow. This opposition is known as inductance, and the component that stores the field energy is known as an inductor.

Inductors add a counter EMF to the circuit, which opposes the increase in current through the coil. As a result, the current flowing through the wire tends to stay constant over time, even when the voltage across the inductor is varied. This property of dynamic stability makes inductors an important component in many types of circuits.

The IMS02SH180K is a versatile fixed inductor designed to meet the demands of a wide variety of industrial and automotive applications. Its high power performance, superior tolerance, and dynamic stability make it ideal for applications such as DC-DC converters, industry controllers, and other applications requiring reliable current control.
