LBH1608T18NJ

Fixed inductors such as the LBH1608T18NJ are components that store energy in a magnetic field. They are typically found in high-frequency AC circuits and are necessary for the majority of high-performance and modern electronic systems. The LBH1608T18NJ fixed inductor is a great choice for a wide range of applications, including high-frequency switching power supplies, DC-to-DC converters, RF amplifiers, telecom systems and more.

The LBH1608T18NJ fixed inductor has the following specifications: Inductance of 18 nH, saturation current of 2.2 A, DC resistance of 0.16 ohms, and maximum current of 4.2amps. It also has a Ferrite body and measures just 16 x 8 x 10 mm and weighs 9g.

The inductance of an inductor represents the number of turns of copper wire used to store the magnetic energy. In general, a higher inductance requires more turns of copper compared to a lower inductance. The higher the inductance, the stronger the magnetic field and the more energy is stored. The saturation current of an inductor is the maximum amount of current that can flow through the inductor before the core becomes magnetized. The higher the saturation current, the higher the current carrying capacity of the inductor. The DC resistance of the LBH1608T18NJ is 0.16 ohms which is relatively low compared to a regular wire. The maximum current of 4.2 amps and size make it an ideal choice for high-performance electronics.

The working principle of an inductor is based on the relationship between electricity and magnetism. When current is passed through the inductor, a magnetic field is developed, which in turn generates an opposing force on the current. This resistance is used to store energy in the magnetic field. When the current is removed, the inductor will release the stored energy, and will typically do so in the opposite direction of the original current. This process is known as ‘Inductive Reactance’.

The LBH1608T18NJ fixed inductor is an efficient and reliable component, and is great for a wide range of applications. It is capable of storing up to 18nH of energy, has a saturation current of 2.2 amps, and a maximum current of 4.2 amps. It is small yet powerful, and is an ideal choice for high-performance and modern electronics.
