Introduction to Fixed Inductors

Inductors, also known as coils, are a type of electrical component found in many electronic circuits. Inductors are made up of insulated wire in a coil, often used to create and store electrical energy. When electrical current passes through an inductor, a magnetic field is created which stores electrical energy.

Fixed inductors are designed to have a specific, fixed inductance value. This inductance value is determined by the geometry of the coil configuration, the number of turns of wire and the material of the wire. The primary purpose of a fixed inductor is to provide a specified amount of inductance to a circuit. Common applications of fixed inductors include choke coils, filters, signal processing and impedance matching.

MLG0402Q1N6CT000 Application Field and Working Principle

MLG0402Q1N6CT000 is a surface mount type fixed inductor ideal for a wide range of applications including switching mode power supplies and DC-DC converters. Its miniaturized, super low profile design features an ultra-small 0402 package size, making it suitable for high-density, space-limited applications. In addition, this inductor is RoHS compliant and is made of high-grade winding materials that deliver high energy storage and low DC resistance.

The working principle of the MLG0402Q1N6CT000 can be explained with the help of Faraday\'s law: when a voltage is passed through a coil, a magnetic field proportional to the winding current is generated, which in turn sets up an opposing current in the coil. This opposing current changes the total inductance of the coil, and the magnitude of the inductance is determined by the total area of the coil as well as the number of turns of wire and type of insulation used.

The MLG0402Q1N6CT000 has an inductance value of 1.6nH, a high saturation current of 1.1A and a low DC resistance of 0.026Ω at 25°C. This fixed inductor is designed to handle high frequency operation, up to 1MHz, while delivering high saturation current and low DC resistance levels. The MLG0402Q1N6CT000 also features a very high thermal cross resistance rating of 27°C/Watt and can withstand an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

In summary, MLG0402Q1N6CT000 is a surface mount type fixed inductor suitable for a wide range of applications, including switching mode power supplies and DC-DC converters. This inductor offers excellent electrical performance, including low DC resistance and high saturation current, and is also designed for hostile environments, providing high levels of temperature and vibration resistance.
