MLG1608B33NJTD25

Fixed inductors are electronic components that are designed to generate inductance in a circuit. The MLG1608B33NJTD25 is one type of fixed inductor from Murata which is designed to keep a constant and sizable inductance over a wide range of frequencies. The MLG1608B33NJTD25 is a type of surface-mount multilayer chip inductor which makes use of a unique method of stacking toroidal cores. It is engineered with multiple guts which all layer at a right angle to each other and are wedged together along the length of the package to produce a stable frequency performance with low losses.

The MLG1608B33NJTD25 fixed inductor features a total inductance of 0.33 µH, along with a very low DC resistance of 0.085 Ω. The inductor also features a rated current capability of 200 mA and a self-resonant frequency of 700 MHz. It is designed to operate for over an extended temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and has a maximum operating height of 8000 meters. With its small size, this inductor is suitable for high density mounting applications.

The fundamental working principle of a fixed inductor is based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. When a current flows through a conductor, a magnetic field is generated and this magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the conductor. Inductance is the measure of the opposition of an inductor to a change in current. An inductor consists of a coil of insulated wire wound around a core of material with a high relative permeability, such as air, iron, ferrite, or mu-metal, which increases the effective inductance. The inductance of an inductor is determined by the number of turns in the coil and the type of core material used.

The MLG1608B33NJTD25 fixed inductor is mainly used in power supplies, DC-to-DC converters, general circuits, and voltage regulators. It also finds applications in high-frequency RF circuits, noise filters, automotive audio systems, cellular radio, communication, and other fields. The inductor is a surface mount device, and therefore is suitable for applications which require superior compactness and excellent heat dissipation.
