Fixed inductors are among the most common passive components used in circuit designs, available in various shapes and sizes. They are also known as coils, chokes, or reactors, and can be used to implement functions such as filtering, surge protection, energy storage, impedance matching, coupling, and decoupling. One such component is the MHQ0402PSA4N0CT000 Inductor, a surface-mount inductor with excellent performance characteristics at a low cost.

The MHQ0402PSA4N0CT000 is a 0403 case size, high-current SMT inductor with a rated current of up to 4A - making it suited for designs with high current demands. Its low DC resistance of up to 1.9mΩ enables more efficient power transfer, and the metal core construction provides low resonance and high SRF for improved performance. The inductor features excellent temperature cycling capabilities and is capable of withstanding up to 150°C for up to 10s. The high-frequency performance of the MHQ0402PSA4N0CT000 also makes it suitable for power supplies and converters.

Applications of the MHQ0402PSA4N0CT000 include DC-to-DC converters, power management solutions, clock generation circuits, audio amplifiers, and high-power automotive applications. The inductor is also often used in switching power supplies, digital audio amplifiers, and other power-sensitive applications. It is compatible with both through-hole and surface-mount technology (SMT) and can be used in conjunction with an array of other components.

The working principle of the MHQ0402PSA4N0CT000 is based on Faraday’s law of induction, which states that a changing magnetic field (caused by electric current) produces a voltage in a coil of wire. The coil in the inductor consists of many turns of wire, usually wound in a spiral or helical shape, and acts as an electromagnet when electric current is applied. This arrangement produces a magnetic field, which in turn induces a voltage in the coil, thus providing a path for current flow.

The inductance of an inductor is a measure of its ability to store energy in its magnetic field. As current passes through the coil, it generates a magnetic field, which stores energy and produces an opposing voltage that resists the flow of current. This voltage - or inductive reactance - is a function of the inductor’s size, shape, and construction and the frequency of the applied current.

In conclusion, the MHQ0402PSA4N0CT000 Inductor is a low-cost fixed inductor with excellent performance characteristics. It is suitable for a variety of power-sensitive applications, such as DC-to-DC converters and power supplies, and can be used with both through-hole and surface-mount technology. The inductor works based on Faraday’s law of induction, in which a changing magnetic field (caused by electric current) produces a voltage in the coil.
