PL8404T

Fixed Inductors

Fixed inductors are Passive electronic components made from wire coils and iron cores to store energy in the form of a magnetic field. Generally speaking, fixed inductors fall into two categories: air core inductors and iron core inductors. Inductors are used in a wide variety of applications where electric current is being regulated, such as radios, computers, power converters, and other electronic components.

PL8404T application field and working principle

The PL8404T is a popular fixed inductor with high power capability and excellent performance characteristics. It can be used in any application requiring energy storage in the form of a magnetic field. For example, it can be used in power converter circuits, voltage regulators, audio amplifiers, and a variety of other electrical devices.

This inductor is constructed from an aluminum core and two coils of enamel-coated copper wire. The first coil is a much larger primary coil, while the second coil is the much smaller secondary coil. The two coils are wound around the aluminum core. When current passes through the primary coil, it creates a magnetic field which stores energy and induces a high voltage across the secondary coil. This voltage, also known as back-EMF, is is a major benefit of using the PL8404T inductor. Due to its ability to transfer energy efficiently between the two coils, the PL8404T is ideal for applications requiring efficient, low-noise energy transfers.

While the PL8404T is a popular choice for power converters, voltage regulators, and audio amplifiers, it can be used in many other applications as well. Specifically, it can be used for DC-DC boost circuits, differential amplifiers, and flyback circuits. The PL8404T is also well suited for high-frequency broadband amplifier designs, due to its low core losses and minimal distortion.

Overall, the PL8404T is an excellent choice for any application requiring efficient energy transfer in the form of a magnetic field. Its aluminum core, copper coils, and efficient transfer of energy make it a great solution for a variety of high-power applications.
