MHQ0603P3N1CT000

Fixed inductors are key active components within power supply systems, such as DC-DC converters, that are used in a wide range of applications, including those that need high-density, high-efficiency power-conversion. MHQ0603P3N1CT000 inductors are among the most powerful solutions available in the market for such systems.

This inductor is part of the MHQ range, which is renowned for providing better current handling performance and for its superior EM shielding. This model utilizes a shielded construction that provides superior EM performance. The device also features a high-temperature magnet wire, which reduces the risk of overheating.

The MHQ0603P3N1CT000 is an inductor in the series of highly-efficient SMD inductors. Its nominal inductance is 3.6nH, while its rated DC current is 1.3A. Its operating temperature range is -40° to 125°C. The MHQ0603P3N1CT000 can be used in a wide range of power supply applications, and is particularly suitable for use in DC-DC converters.

The working principle of an inductor is based on Faraday\'s law of induction. This law states that a time-varying magnetic field induces an electric field in a nearby closed loop of wire. This induced current creates an additional magnetic field in the direction opposite to the field that was causing it, thus producing an inductance or "back EMF" in the circuit.

In a DC-DC converter, the MHQ0603P3N1CT000 inductor is used to store energy. When the input voltage is higher than the output voltage, energy is stored in the magnetic field of the inductor and when the input voltage is lower than the output voltage, energy is released from the magnetic field of the inductor. This process ensures that the output voltage remains steady despite changes in the input voltage.

The MHQ0603P3N1CT000 inductor is also useful in switching power supplies. In a switching power supply, the inductor is used in combination with the switch to maintain a constant output voltage. The inductor stores energy when the switch is in the "on" state and releases energy when the switch is in the "off" state. This process is repeated at high frequencies to maintain the output voltage at a constant level.

The MHQ0603P3N1CT000 is well-suited to a wide range of power supply systems and industrial applications, as it combines high-efficiency with a compact form factor. This makes it an ideal choice for power supply systems that require high power density and efficiency.
