Fixed Inductors, typically known as coils, are available in all shapes and sizes, but they all basically perform the same function – to induct electrical current in an electrical circuit. In this article we look at one type of fixed inductor, namely the PL9204T, and its application field as well as its working principle.

The PL9204T is an axial-lead inductor primarily used for power transformers and chokes. It is manufactured in two sizes, 20mm and 30mm, and in four shapes: open, closed, t-slot, and snap-in. The PL9204T is a shielded inductor, meaning it is fitted with a ferrite core covered in a metal shield that reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and avoids the noise of the electrical currents. With its high-air-gap magnetic flux core, the PL9204T provides a high inductance in a relatively small inductor footprint, plus a wider range of inductance values. In addition, its low losses make the PL9204T suitable for high power applications.

Principle of operation

Fixed inductors, such as the PL9204T, work by inducing an electrical current in an external circuit. The electrical current is generated by the changing flux of the magnetic field of the inductor. When an AC source is connected to the inductor, a time-varying magnetic field is created. This changing magnetic field induces an electric field in the surrounding environment, which in turn induces a current in the external circuit. The current is limited by the amount of reactance in inductors. Depending on the properties of the inductor, the current will either increase or decrease in time.

The bigger the inductance value of an inductor, the more current it can induce. The key components of the inductor are the core material, the windings, and the number of turns. Each element has an effect on the inductor’s performance. For example, ferrite, with its high permeability, provides a stronger magnetic field and higher inductance than other inductor materials. The winding number affects the total inductance, so the higher the number of turns, the higher the inductance value an inductor will provide. The value of fixed inductors, such as the PL9204T, is dependent on the combination of these factors.

Applications

The main application of the PL9204T is in power transformers and chokes. Power transformers are devices which convert alternating current voltage from one level to another, and chokes are devices that prevent radio-frequency interference in a system. The low losses and high inductance of the PL9204T make them suitable for a wide range of switch mode power supplies. Other applications for the PL9204T include power conditioning for switching regulator circuits, RF by-passing and filtering, and noise suppression filter circuits. In addition, the PL9204T is suitable for use in telecom, medical, and audio-visual equipment.

Conclusion

The PL9204T is a shielded axial-lead inductor used primarily for power transformers and chokes. Its main advantages are its low losses and high inductance, making it suitable for a variety of applications, including power conditioning, RF by-passing and filtering, and noise suppression filter circuits. It is an ideal choice for power supplies and telecom, medical and audio-visual equipment. The working principle of fixed inductors, such as the PL9204T, is based on an induced electrical current flowing through an external circuit due to the changing flux of the magnetic field of the inductor.
