KEMET Ferrite Power Inductor, 470µH, SBC Series, 1.1A

The KEMET SBC Series Ferrite Power Inductor (470µH) is a high-performance component designed for demanding power applications. Featuring a drum core construction made from nickel-zinc (NiZn) ferrite, it offers stable inductance and high current handling in a compact, unshielded format. This inductor is engineered to operate effectively in environments with an operating temperature range of up to +105°C, ensuring reliability under challenging conditions.

Key to its design is a magnetic non-shield type construction, which allows for efficient energy storage with minimal core losses. With an RMS current rating of 1.1A and a saturation current of 1.6A, it is capable of handling significant power flows while maintaining performance stability. A maximum DC resistance of just 0.42ohm contributes to high efficiency by minimising power loss through heat dissipation. The component boasts an inductance tolerance of ±10%, providing consistency and reliability in circuit design.

Applications

This ferrite power inductor is versatile and finds use in a wide array of modern electronic devices and power systems. It is ideally suited for integration into DC/DC converters and noise filter circuits, where stable inductance is critical. Typical applications powering everyday technology include LED lighting systems, xDSL modems, copying machines, flat-screen televisions, smart meters, and various switched-mode power supply units. Its robust design makes it a dependable choice for engineers requiring a durable and efficient inductive solution for power conditioning and management tasks.
