Fixed Inductors

Inductors, also known as coils, are devices consisting of windings of wire used to store energy in the form of magnetic fields. Fixed inductors are “fixed” in that they have a specific inductance value that does not vary. The MHQ0603P2N5ST000 is a fixed inductor designed and manufactured by Murata Manufacturing Company, a Japanese electronics company. This particular model is a type of surface mount technology (SMT) inductor, meaning it is made to be easily and quickly installed on printed circuit boards (PCBs). As such, the specs are rather small at 0.6mm x 0.3mm x 0.5mm, which is very impressive for its category.

The MHQ0603P2N5ST000 inductor is characterized by an inductance value of 2.2 nH, maximum rated current of 300 mA, and resistance of 9 ohms. The rated current refers to the maximum amount, in amperes, at which the inductor may be safely operated. It’s also worth noting that this particular inductor has excellent temperature characteristics, meaning that the inductance values remain relatively stable over a wide temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. In terms of application fields, the MHQ0603P2N5ST000 is most commonly used in DC-DC converters for switching voltage regulators.

But how does an inductor work? An inductor works on the principle of electromagnetic induction, which was first discovered by Michael Faraday in the 1800s. According to Faraday, when a conductor, such as a wire, is moved through a magnetic field, an electric current is generated. The generation of the current is dependent on the relative motion of the magnetic field and the conductor, which needs to be perpendicular in order for the current to be generated. Put simply, the electric current flowing through the wire will create a magnetic field, which in turn will generate an opposing force against the movement of the conductor. This opposing force is known as the inductance force, hence it is also known as the inductor.

In the case of the MHQ0603P2N5ST000 inductor, the electromagnetic force is produced by the core material placed between the two conductors, creating a magnetic flux when traversed by a current. This flux sets up an opposing force, measured in ohms, which is inversely proportional to the current and flux. The inductance value is then directly proportional to the core material, the amount of windings around it, and the shape of the core.

Fixed inductors, such as the MHQ0603P2N5ST000 from Murata Manufacturing, are essential components to modern electronics for regulating currents, as well as providing filtering functions. This particular model’s small size make it ideal for circuits with limited space, while also providing excellent temperature stability and rated current ratings, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
