PM42S-180-RC

Fixed inductors are electromagnetic components that utilize a conductor such as wire or metal to provide inductance. These components are usually used to store energy, increase current flow or block specific currents of alternating current from moving. PM42S-180-RC is a popular fixed inductor which is categorized as a high-current, low-resistance device and is well suited for applications such as EMI suppression, DC/DC converters, battery chargers, etc. Here’s an overview of the application field and working principle of the PM42S-180-RC.

Application field of PM42S-180-RC

The PM42S-180-RC has a frequency range of 125kHz - 5MHz, making it well-suited for high-frequency applications. It is also capable of handling high-current applications due to its low DCR. Common applications for this particular component include:

• Power supplies
• Portable electronics
• Motor control
• EMI suppression
• Battery charging

The PM42S-180-RC has a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, allowing it to be used in extreme environments. Additionally, its small size and light weight make it well-suited for use in space-constrained areas.

Working Principle of PM42S-180-RC

The PM42S-180-RC works by creating a magnetic field when a current is applied through the conductor. This magnetic field induces a voltage in nearby components which opposes the original current, resulting in a change in electrical energy. The PM42S-180-RC has a low DCR which allows it to efficiently handle high current applications. It can withstand a current much higher than its rated current for short periods of time, making it well-suited for applications such as EMI suppression.

The PM42S-180-RC also has good saturation performance, making it less prone to saturation when high current is delivered. Additionally, the PM42S-180-RC can also be used as an AC line filter, providing stable filtering and EMI suppression under varying temperature and current conditions. This makes it well suited for portable devices such as phones and laptops.

Conclusion

The PM42S-180-RC is a reliable, high-current fixed inductor that is well-suited for a variety of applications. Its low DCR and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for high-frequency and extreme temperature applications while its small size and light weight make it great for space-restricted applications. Its impressive saturation performance and ability to act as an AC line filter make it a reliable and efficient component for applications such as EMI suppression.
