SCMS5D18-1R2

Fixed inductors are widely used in power electronics, telecommunications, industrial and automotive applications. The SCMS5D18-1R2 Inductor is a device designed to store energy in a magnetic field when current passes through it, making it an important component in many circuit designs.This device is a fixed inductor designed to provide a constant inductance and low DC resistance. Its value can be set to any value between 0.1uH to 18.0uH and its DC resistance is rated between 0.2 mΩ and 1.2 mΩ. The SCMS5D18-1R2 inductor is designed specifically for high-frequency, high-voltage and high-current applications. It is suitable for switching and linear power supplies, high-voltage DC-DC converters and wireless charging applications.The SCMS5D18-1R2 is composed of a core element, a pair of enameled copper coils and a plastic coil holder. The core element is made up of an iron-silicon alloy, which helps improve its induction coefficient, allowing the coils to store and release energy more efficiently.The SCMS5D18-1R2 inductor works by passing current through the enameled copper coils, creating a magnetic field. As current passes through the coils, the inductor stores energy in the magnetic field. This energy is released when the current stops and the magnetic field collapses.The inductor\'s core element is designed in such a way that it concentrates the magnetic field and keeps it confined. This feature, known as magnetic saturation, allows the inductor to store more energy for a given amount of current. As the core element saturates, the inductance increases.The SCMS5D18-1R2 inductor is thermally protected and designed to operate under an ambient temperature of -40˚C to +85˚C. It is also protected against electrostatic discharge, ensuring that its performance is not compromised in the event of an electrical surge.The SCMS5D18-1R2 inductor has many advantages over other inductor types. It has low losses, allowing for better efficiency and heat dissipation. It has a high self-resonant frequency, keeping away from wave forms distortions. It has reliable EMI suppression, enabling it to provide clean power signals.The SCMS5D18-1R2 inductor provides stable inductance and has good magnetic shielding, making it the perfect choice for power conversion applications. Its high efficiency, reasonable cost and easy availability make it an ideal component for many circuit designs.
