Fixed Inductors

Inductors are electrical components capable of storing energy in the form of a magnetic field. This storage can be in single or multiple inductors. Single inductors are the most common type and are often referred to as \'fixed\'. Fixed inductors come in two basic designs; air-cored and ferrite-cored. The former uses the air as the magnetic material, while the latter uses ferrite, an iron-alloy. The type of core material affects the characteristics and applications of the device.

SLF7032T-471MR20-2 Application Field and Working Principle

SLF7032T-471MR20-2 is a fixed inductor manufactured by Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. The device is of air-cored design and features a 470µh inductance rating. It features a tolerance of 2%, operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and a rated current range of 0.5A to 8.84A.

The applications of SLF7032T-471MR20-2 include power supply and DC-DC converter designs, as well as EMI suppression, circuit load balancing, clock oscillator stabilization, and other high-frequency circuitry. The device is geared for use in high-current electrical circuits where the inductor must handle large, rapid current changes.

In terms of working principle, SLF7032T-471MR20-2 is an inductor that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field. When a current passes through the device, it produces an opposing magnetic field that opposes the flow of current. This opposition is known as inductive reactance, and it causes the current to lag behind the applied voltage. The magnitude of this effect is proportional to the inductance of the device.

In applications, SLF7032T-471MR20-2 acts to absorbs current from the electrical circuit, thus limiting apparent current flow and allowing for the creation of power-saving options such as voltage regulators and circuit load balancing. The high inductance and low tolerance of the device also allow for improved efficiency and accuracy in many electronic applications.

As a fixed inductor, SLF7032T-471MR20-2 provides excellent performance for many electronic applications. With a 470µH rating, 2% tolerance and -55°C to +125°C temperature range, the device enables superior current limitation, efficient power management, and high accuracy in a variety of electronic projects.
