Fixed inductors, also known as chokes, are used to store and release energy through their magnetic fields. IMS05ST560K is one of the most reliable fixed inductor models on the market. This article will discuss the application fields and working principle of the IMS05ST560K.

Application Field

The IMS05ST560K is a chip-sized winding, fixed inductor used in narrowband high-frequency for various applications. It is designed to be stable in harsh environmental conditions, making it ideal for using in industrial and automotive electronics, military and defense appliances, consumer electronics, cellular phones and computers. The inductor has a wide range of inductance values that range from 0.15uH to 10 uH.

The IMS05ST560K can be used in many applications such as power supplies, audio circuits, signal processing circuits, and telecommunication circuits. Its wide range of voltage and current ratings make it suitable for high-frequency modulation and detection, or as an active component in power supply circuits. It can also be used in DC-DC converters, EMI/EMC filter networks, and high-performance data lines.

Working Principle

The IMS05ST560K is a passive device that works on the principles of Faraday’s laws of induction. The inductor stores electrical energy in its magnetic field when exposed to an alternating current. Whenever the current through the inductor changes, the magnetic field around it induces a voltage in the opposite direction of the current, thus producing an opposing force on the current. This property of inductors is known as inductance. The value of inductance is measured in henrys.

The IMS05ST560K has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, a rated current of 0.45A - 1A (depending on the package size and inductance), and a maximum rated current of 1.5A. It also features high surge current capability of up to 25 A.

The inductor is typically made up of an encapsulated, hard-ferrite core with either an air-core grounding plug or an attached metal can. The winding is tightly wound with a continuous-conductor coil. The inductor also features a Dielectric strength of 22.5Vrms at 1 minute and a minimum current rating of 0.5A.

In conclusion, the IMS05ST560K fixed inductor is a highly reliable chip-sized winding, fixed inductor designed for industrial, automotive, and consumer applications. It has a wide range of inductance values, voltage and current ratings, and a high surge current capability. Its Faraday’s laws of induction technology allows it to store and release energy in the magnetic field.
