MHQ1005P2N5CT000

An inductor is a passive two-terminal electrical component which stores energy in a magnetic field when electric current flows through it. Fixed inductors, also known as chokes or coils, are static inductors which store energy when an electric current passes through it. They allow higher frequency current to pass through while blocking lower frequency current, acting as a simple two-terminal filter. One common application for fixed inductors are with AC circuits, which usually have capacitors to filter out lower frequencies.

MHQ1005P2N5CT000 is a member of the fixed inductor family. It is a 5-pin, shielded, lead-free SMD (surfaced mounted device) inductors, rated at 100µH inductance and maximum rated current of 2.2 A at 28 mOhms DC resistance. This fixed inductor is constructed using a copper core, ferrite housing, and wire wound construction for optimal performance. It has a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications including automotive, medical, and industrial.

MHQ1005P2N5CT000 is designed for high frequency applications, hence the use of a ferrite housing. It is particularly suitable for switching power supplies, switch mode power supplies, and LCD inverters in display applications. It shows strong inductive reactance when low frequency alternating current is used, between 1-300 kHz. This makes it ideal for suppressing or limiting high frequency noise that is otherwise created by passive components such as capacitors.

The working principle of the MHQ1005P2N5CT000 fixed inductor is based on Faraday\'s law of induction, which states that when a magnetic field passes through a conductor, an induced electromotive force (EMF) is generated. As an electric current is passed through the inductor, a magnetic field builds up, storing energy in the form of the electromagnetic fields. This generates the EMF, which opposes the flow of the electric current. The combined effect of the MHQ1005P2N5CT000\'s ferrite housing and the wound conductors increases the inductance of the device, resulting in increased noise suppression.

In conclusion, the MHQ1005P2N5CT000 is an ideal option for several applications due to its high quality components and design. The ferrite housing and wound construction increase the inductance of the device and it helps to suppress high frequency noise. Its wide operating temperature range is also an added benefit, making it suitable for use in a wide variety of applications.
