Inductors are deceptively simple. However, a closer look reveals underlying complexity. How else can you explain the many types of core materials, types of windings, sizes, geometries and wide range ...

With their ability to resist changes in current, inductors are one of the basic but fundamental components used in electronics where current and voltage change with time. This tutorial provides an ...

“Drum core” is used to describe the shape of the ferrite core used in some power inductors, and it differentiates these inductors from other types such as toroidal, power bead, flat coil, or planar.

E-core shapes allow assembly ease. Nienchtze Teng, Magnetics Div. Spang, Butler, Pa. Magnetic cores for power supply inductors require careful selection because of the important role they play. An ...

For RF inductor selection, José Martos and Heinz Zenkner stress the importance of evaluating inductance, natural resonant frequency, quality, DC resistance and rated current for high-frequency ...
