SMT & SMD Power Inductor Specifications

 

How to read our online catalogue 1, 2, 3, 4

(5.) SRF Self-resonant frequency.
The RF engineer might be more concerned when it is for the frequency resonator because he needs high frequency.
The power engineer doesn't care because the frequency is lo, maybe less than 1MHz. Usually, he would apply 300 to 600 kHz

(6.) Isat (A):
Saturation current. The inductor could work below this DC current. If the loading (A) is more than it the magnetic saturation would appear, the function would drop very fast.

(7.) Irms (A)
The temperature rising would be ^40°C when it loads some current. It might cause the copper loss or core loss. If the temperature becomes high, the efficiency could be lower and it is useless when the temperature reaches a certain point.

(8.)
If the value of inductance & IDC (the smaller RDC) is larger we need the larger core to meet the specification. The space of the PCB should have much limited so the dimension is a very important factor.

(9.)
Actually the IDC of our inductors is much larger than the specifications.
For example: TSB125-150M, The value of our catalogue is 3.3A but our ability is 5.5A.
It is designed for a notebook PC manufacturer. The engineer wants the component cheap and functionality good, it could be loaded with more current because the CPU is improved its speed then it needs more power to support it. We need the instrument to be lighter and smaller, so it allows smaller space for components.
