SC105-180

Fixed inductors are electronic components that store energy in an electromagnetic field, functioning by the same principle as the more commonly recognized transformer or solenoid. An inductor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores energy in a magnetic field created when current flows through it. The SC105-180 family of fixed inductors are widely used in a variety of applications, offering improved performance compared to other devices in its class.

Description

The SC105-180 is an inductor carriyng a fixed inductance of up to 180 µH, and it has a maximum DC resistance of 1Ω. It is rated for an operating temperature range between -40 to +125°C. This family of inductors features a wide range of windings, toroidal cores, and other types of non-toroidal cores.

Applications

The SC105-180 is a versatile device and has several potential applications. It is often used in power supply and switching power supplies, where their ability to provide high-current current and high-frequency operation is greatly appreciated. The family is also used as filters in high-end audio systems, providing for better sound quality. Moreover, it is a popular choice in RF systems, because it is able to suppress both common-mode and differential-mode noise without impairing signal performance.

Working Principle

Fixed inductors such as the SC105-180 operate on Faraday’s law of induction. On the most basic level, this phenomenon states that an electric current passing through a conductor will create a magnetic field around it. This magnetic field will cause a current to flow in conductors in the vicinity, a phenomenon known as self-inductance. This induced current has the opposite polarity of the initiating current and is the basis of the operation of the inductor.

When an AC current is passed through the fixed inductor, the varying flux creates changing magnetic field around the inductor. This changing magnetic field will induce a current in the coils and creates a constant flow, which is then transformed to an electrical energy in order to deliver the expected electrical current.

Conclusion

The SC105-180 is a popular family of fixed inductors with a wide range of potential applications. In power supplies and other kinds of switching systems, it is used to prevent noise and provide high-current current and high-frequency operation. In audio systems, it is used as a filter device to improve sound quality. Additionally, it is often used in RF systems to reduce common-mode and differential-mode noise.

In its operation, fixed inductors utilize Faraday’s law of induction, which states that an electric current passing through a conductor will create a magnetic field around it. When an AC current is passed through the inductor, this magnetic field is used to induce a current in the coils and transform it to electrical energy.
