MIL2510-06K

Fixed Inductors refer to inductors with predetermined electrical parameters and fixed physical properties, mainly used in high frequency circuits. The MIL2510-06K is one type of Fixed Inductors used in various small-sized applications. This article will discuss the application area and working principle of MIL2510-06K.

The MIL2510-06K is a miniaturized Fixed Inductor covering 0.46 mH to 10 mH inductance range. It is designed with tiny size, high reliability, and low profile. It is capable of providing high current capacity of 18A to 24A. MIL2510-06K can be typically used in switching regulator, DC-DC converter, switching power supply, switch mode transformer, and other high frequency circuits.

MIL2510-06K has an ultra-small case size of 8.0mm x 8.3mm which makes it best for space-constrained applications. Moreover, it has high performance in terms of superiority, higher resonance frequency, consistent performance, and magnetic shielding. Its robust construction provides improved temperature stability and impressive insulation resistance. These features make it suitable for being used in the fields such as consumer electronics, communication equipment, medical equipment, and home electronics.

The working principle of MIL2510-06K utilizes the electromagnetic induction phenomenon. The material used in this Fixed Inductor is made up of ferromagnetic core which operates in accordance with Faraday’s law. The core consists of a metal wire wound around a ferromagnetic material, typically iron. It is a passive electrical component used in many electronic circuits that convert alternating current to direct current. It responds to changes in current due to the principle of electromagnetic induction by producing a counter electromotive force.

When a changing current passes through the coil, the polarity of the current changes due to its action on the winding of the Inductor, creating a magnetic flux in the coil. This magnetic flux is accompanied by a counter electromotive force, which is directly proportional to the rate of change of the current. As a result, the magnetic flux creates a secondary current in the opposite direction of the primary current in the Inductor.

In addition, as the core material of the INDUCTOR is ferromagnetic, the energy stored in the core of the Inductor produces an additional magnetic flux which boosts the effect of the primary flux thus increasing the counter electromotive force. The combination of these processes creates a stable energy storage that supplements the power supply.

In conclusion, the MIL2510-06K Fixed Inductor provides suitable high frequency applications due to its tiny size, high reliability, and robust construction. The working principle utilizes the electromagnetic induction phenomenon and the energy storage provided by the ferromagnetic core to convert alternating current to direct current.
