RLB9012-332KL

An inductor is an electronic component that stores energy by using electric current in a magnetic field. The RLB9012-332KL Inductor, designed by Rohm Semiconductor, is a great example of a fixed inductor. It is made up of a coil of insulated copper wire and a core made from ferromagnetic materials, and is designed for use in high frequency, high power applications.

The RLB9012-332KL Inductor is typically used in power conversion, DC-to-DC and AC-to-DC switching converters, and voltage regulators. It is also widely used in those applications which require a high level of efficiency, reliability and accuracy. The inductor has a rated load current of 2.25A, and an inductance of 332µH. This allows the inductor to operate at very high frequencies, making it an ideal choice for those applications which have higher frequency requirements.

The working principle of an inductor is based on Faraday’s law of induction. This states that when a conductor is placed in a changing magnetic field, an electromotive force is produced in the conductor. This EMF can be used to generate an electric current in the circuit. Basically, when a changing electric current passes through an inductor, a magnetic flux is created in the core of the component. This magnetic flux induces a voltage across the inductor, which is proportional to the rate of change of the current.

The RLB9012-332KL Inductor can be configured for various applications. For example, it can be connected to form a two or three-phase bridge converter, or can also be used in LED backlighting applications. It is also capable of handling extreme temperatures, and can operate in temperatures ranging from -55°C to +105°C. This makes it ideal for applications which require high temperature performance.

Overall, the RLB9012-332KL Inductor is a great example of a fixed inductor, capable of handling very high power and frequency requirements. It is suitable for a wide range of high frequency and high power applications, and its extreme temperature operation makes it an excellent choice for those applications which have higher temperature requirements.
