RL875-152K

Fixed inductors are devices made from either wire or a flat strip of metal either coiled into a certain pattern or wound into a certain pattern. They store energy in the form of an electrical field or an electrostatic field and can be used to filter out or store electrical currents within a certain range or current limitation. The RL875-152K is an example of this type of fixed inductor used in a variety of applications.

Purpose and Application

The RL875-152K is a choke type inductor. It is specifically designed for use in a variety of electronic circuits, such as filtering out interfering frequencies in rectifier circuits or providing a high impedance source for power supply regulation. The device also offers protection from short circuits, high voltages, and insulation breakdowns.

The RL875-152K can be used in a variety of applications, such as vehicles, converters, inverters, and renewable energy solutions. It is rated to withstand high temperatures, so the device can handle a wide range of operating temperatures and still maintain its performance levels.

Core Material

The RL875-152K is made from a ferrite core material which is a type of composite material consisting of two distinct components, one ferromagnetic and the other non-ferromagnetic. This material has a high permeability and can store a large amount of electrical energy in a small area, which allows the inductor to work with very high-frequency signals. The core material also provides high resistance against oxidation and has an extremely low rate of thermal conductivity.

Package Type and Dimensions

The RL875-152K comes in a surface mount package and has a size of 0.8 x 0.5 inches (20.3 x 12.7mm). This allows it to fit into a variety of applications and be used in tight spaces. The package also features a low-profile case which helps reduce the inductor’s profile and enhances its suitability for applications where space is a premium.

Working Principle

The RL875-152K works on the principle of inductance. This is where a coil of wire is connected to an electric current source, and the electric current being applied to the coil will be stored in the form of a magnetic field and later released when the current is no longer applied. The purpose of the inductor is to provide a steady flow of current and reduce the amount of voltage fluctuation in the circuit, thus providing a more stable output.

Inductors can also be used to filter out unwanted frequencies in a circuit. This is attained by connecting the inductor in series with the circuit such that unwanted frequencies will pass through the inductor at a slower rate than desired frequencies, thus filtering them out.

Conclusion

The RL875-152K is a reliable, yet economical fixed inductor that can be used in a variety of applications. Its ferrite core material and its surface mount package type make it suitable for use in a wide variety of applications and tight spaces. Furthermore, the inductor works using the principle of inductance which helps reduce voltage fluctuations and filter out unwanted frequencies.
