PT150-1040HM

Fixed Inductors

Fixed inductors are electronic components that store energy in the form of a magnetic field when a current passes through them. They are commonly used in various applications, from basic power supplies to high-performance equipment, and the PT150-1040HM is one of the widely used inductors. This article will cover its application field and working principle.

Application Field of PT150-1040HM

The PT150-1040HM is a popular inductor due to its size, performance, and affordability. It is a type of axial inductor, having an axial leaded construction that makes it suitable for through-hole board assembly. It is mostly used in power supplies for general purposes, in automotive applications and for telecom systems, and in consumer electronics like TV tuners. Moreover, this inductor is also commonly used in noise suppression applications such as line filters, lightning and surge protection solutions, and motor drive circuits.

Working Principle of PT150-1040HM

The PT150-1040HM is a high-performing inductor that functions according to Faraday’s Law of Induction. It works by converting electrical energy to magnetic energy and storing it until it is released again. When an electrical current passes through the core material of the inductor, it creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field attracts a conducting wire, which is wound around the inductor\'s core material. This wound wire creates a coil and generates a self-inductance, which is measured in units of henry (H).

The PT150-1040HM is a high-performance axial inductor and features a variety of core materials like Ferrite Beads, Mn-Zn ferrites, NiZn ferrites, and iron powder cores. It can handle up to a peak current of 5.5A, with an inductance value of 1.04H. Moreover, it has an operating temperature range of -40C to +125C and a DC resistance of 0.12Ohms. Furthermore, it has an inductance tolerance of 15% to 20%, a leakage current of 0.005mA, and a saturation current of 5.5A.

Conclusion

The PT150-1040HM is a widely used inductor due to its small size, high performance, and affordability. It is mostly used in power supplies and converters, automotive applications and telecom systems. Moreover, it is also commonly used for noise suppression in line filters and other applications. The PT150-1040HM functions according to Faraday’s Law of Induction, which states that an electrical current passing through a conducting wire winding around a core material creates a magnetic field, which is then stored until it is released again. This inductor has a peak current of 5.5A, an inductance value of 1.04H, an inductive tolerance of 15-20%, a DC resistance of 0.12Ohms, and a leakage current of 0.005mA.
