LQM18PN3R3MGHD

Fixed inductors, also called chokes, are an important part of an electrical circuit. They are used to store magnetic energy, which can be used to control currents and voltages, and to reduce the unwanted buildup of heat. The LQM18PN3R3MGHD is an example of a fixed inductor that is commonly used in a variety of industries.

The LQM18PN3R3MGHD is a 3-pin, surface-mount, triple-shielded power inductor. It can handle currents up to 18A, and has a hot-swappable design to facilitate easy assembly. The inductor is rated for up to 125°C, making it perfect for high-temperature environments. The inductor also features a very low profile, allowing for use in tight spaces.

The LQM18PN3R3MGHD is widely used in power electronics applications, such as power supplies, DC-DC converters, motor drives, switch-mode power supplies and switching regulators. It is also an excellent choice for resonant converter circuits, voltage-mode control circuits, snubber circuits and heavily filtered circuits. It can help reduce EMI and RF interference, and can also be used as an impedance matching device.

The working principle of the LQM18PN3R3MGHD is quite simple. When a current passes through the core, a magnetic field is created, which induces an opposite electrical current. This current generates its own magnetic field, which in turn interacts with the first magnetic field and creates a voltage drop. This voltage drop can then be used to control or regulate the current flow in the circuit.

The LQM18PN3R3MGHD is a reliable and robust fixed inductor, and is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications. It offers excellent performance at high currents, and is resistant to heat and vibration. It also has a low profile design, making it perfect for use in tight spaces. With its low cost and high performance, it is an invaluable component in the power electronics industry.
