LB1608T2R2M

Fixed Inductors are elements found within electrical and electronic circuitry with the primary purpose of introducing inductance into a circuit. This inductance will either provide physical stability or will interact with other components to create a distinct purpose. The LB1608T2R2M is one particular fixed inductor that is heavily used in multiple applications, from computers to small electronic devices. To better understand the LB1608T2R2M, let’s review its application field and working principle.

Application Field

The LB1608T2R2M is a chip-type inductor with an inductance value of 2.2 uH (2.2 lmH). It is often used for its small size without sacrificing functionality and power. Common applications include filter circuits or electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise filter circuits, where its excellent inductance and Q characteristics (Q ≤ 20) make it superior in filtering low-frequency noise. Other applications the LB1608T2R2M is known for include converters, inverters, and switching controllers. The device is rated to handle power of up to 500 mW and a voltage of 125 V DC ensuring that it is able to provide all the necessary characteristics to power most circuit applications.

Working Principle

Inductors are components within a circuit that resist changes in current flow. As current flows through the device, it induces a magnetic field that opposes the change of current. This magnetic field will store energy and reduce the level of current flowing through the device. The magnitude of the inductance is determined by the basic coil construction and the number of windings. The LB1608T2R2M is composed of two coils wrapped around a ferrite core. This design helps increase the inductance and improve the current carrying capabilities of the device.

The LB1608T2R2M’s inductance provides a path for the current to take, allowing the device to direct and control the current and voltage within the system. The device is also able to act as a transformer, tuning and/or filtering the current and providing signal attenuation. As the current alternates in the circuit, the device will convert the current from one form to another and can generate a new frequency or create a low pass filter. Finally, the LB1608T2R2M is beneficial in reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI), as it is able to reduce or eliminate odious frequencies, and can help ensure that the correct frequencies reach their destination.

Conclusion

The LB1608T2R2M is an effective fixed inductor for providing stability and tuning signals within a variety of technological applications. It is beneficial for signal attenuation, frequency conversion, and reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI). The device can handle power up to 500 mW and a voltage of 125 V DC allowing it to provide all the necessary characteristics to power most circuits. Understanding the application field and working principle of the LB1608T2R2M is crucial for those looking to incorporate the device into any number of applications.
