Fixed Inductors

A Fixed Inductor, also known as an inductance element, is an electrical component that is used to store energy in the form of an electromagnetic field. The most well known type of Fixed Inductor is a coil of wire, connected to alternately positive and negative terminals of a power supply. The two terminals are connected to a diode-type load, which allows the current to flow from one terminal to the other. The resulting magnetic field produced induces resistance in the surrounding circuitry.

The L0805180GEWTR Fixed Inductor is a particularly useful device for a variety of applications. It features a molded bobbin construction and a wire-wound, ceramic core inductor with a value of 180 µH, a screw-on terminal, and an adjustable lead length. The device is rated for operation with currents up to one ampere and is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 125°C (257°F).

The working principle behind the L0805180GEWTR Fixed Inductor is that when an electrical current is applied to the device, a magnetic field is created around the inductor. This magnetic field induces resistance in the surrounding circuitry, creating an output voltage. This voltage is then fed back to the device\'s terminals, where the current is still being drawn from the power supply. The current forms a self-sustaining oscillation between the two terminals, maintaining the resistive effect and producing the output voltage.

The application of the L0805180GEWTR Fixed Inductor is quite broad. It is commonly used in switching power supplies, voltage regulators, converters, oscillators, and clock circuitry. In addition, it is a popular choice for noise suppression in audio and video equipment, as well as in motor circuits. The device is especially well-suited for use in automotive systems and consumer electronics, where it is often used to filter out electromagnetic interference.

The L0805180GEWTR Fixed Inductor is an invaluable device for a variety of applications. It combines the durability and efficiency of an inductor with the robustness of a molded bobbin. With its adjustable lead length and high temperature ratings, it is a reliable and cost-effective solution for a variety of applications.
