SD20C-220-R

Fixed inductors are electronic components (such as coils and transformers)that are designed to provide a constant current and voltage flow, thus achieving a certain purpose or objective in circuit operations. SD20C-220-R is one type of fixed inductors, and this article seeks to cover the application field and working principle of this component.

Application Field

The SD20C-220-R is a fixed inductor with an inductance value of 2.4 uH (microhenries) and a rated current of 1.60 A (amperes). It is mainly used to act as a coil for storing electricity in electronic devices, such as those found in computers and home entertainment systems. It also serves to aid in the control of the voltage and current within a circuit by providing a return path for the current, meaning that it creates a low-impedance path for the current flow to return to its source. Additionally, the SD20C-220-R is often used to filter out alternating current (AC) signals – that is, it can reduce or eliminate spurious signals from the circuit.

Working Principle

Fixed inductors, such as the SD20C-220-R, generally works according to Faraday\'s law of induction, which states that the electromotive force (EMF) in an inductor is proportional to the rate of change of current through the inductor. In simpler terms, the rate of change of current is what influences the EMF of the inductor, so by controlling the current flow, the EMF can be manipulated.

To control the current flow, the SD20C-220-R induces a magnetic field in the direction of the current, thus exerting a resistance to its flow. This effect is known as “inductive reactance”, which can be expressed as x=2πfL, where f is the frequency of the current and L is the inductance of the inductor. So if the inductance is known, the frequency can be adjusted in order to attain a certain value of inductive reactance, which in turn controls the current.

Conclusion

The SD20C-220-R is a fixed inductor which is used to control the current and voltage flow in an electronic circuit. It works according to Faraday’s law of induction, and is primarily used as a coil for storing electricity, and for filtering out AC signals. By employing the principles of inductive reactance, the flow of current through the SD20C-220-R can be manipulated to meet certain conditions.
