VLS4012T-6R8M1R0 Inductors, Coils, Chokes

Fixed inductors are passive electronic components used to store energy in the form of a magnetic field when electric currents pass through the wire windings. One of the most widely used fixed inductors is the VLS4012T-6R8M1R0, a surface-mount inductor for use in a variety of applications.

The VLS4012T-6R8M1R0 provides the electrical benefits associated with a common ferrite inductor, due to its integrated SMD technology and low DCR. First of all, it offers excellent performance over a wide frequency range, even up to 1 MHz. Secondly, it provides the capability to handle high levels of transient currents with very low DCR saturation, making it a great choice for applications such as power supplies and DC-to-DC converters.

In terms of the physical properties of the VLS4012T-6R8M1R0, it is a 0402 package size inductor with a nominal inductance of 6.8 mH. It features a maximum DCR of 15 millimhos, and a maximum rated current of 1.1 amps at a stringent 25 degrees Celsius temperature rise. The current rating of this part makes it an ideal choice for high-current applications such as Intel ATX power supplies or IGBT circuits.

The VLS4012T-6R8M1R0 is also RoHS compliant, ensuring that it is free from hazardous substances and meets the most stringent environmental standards. Due to its size, it is highly suitable for applications with limited space requirements.

In terms of the working principle of the VLS4012T-6R8M1R0, the inductor works by storing electromagnetic energy in a magnetic field when electric currents pass through its wire windings. This energy is released when the current is removed, resulting in a current induced in the opposite direction. This is known as an inductor\'s self-resonance, and it is why the inductor is able to maintain a generally high efficiency over a wide frequency range.

The VLS4012T-6R8M1R0 is a popular inductor choice for many electronic products, due to its high performance and outstanding reliability. It is used in a variety of applications, such as in power supplies, DC-to-DC converters, IGBT circuits, and ATX power supplies. It provides excellent performance over a wide frequency range, and has low DCR saturation levels. Its compact size and RoHS compliance make it ideal for applications with limited space requirements.
