KEMET SBC Series Ferrite Power Inductor, 1.5uH, 9.4A

The KEMET SBC Series Ferrite Power Inductor is a high-performance electronic component designed for demanding power conversion applications. Featuring a drum core construction with a nickel‑zinc (NiZn) ferrite core, this unshielded inductor offers excellent magnetic properties for efficient energy storage and filtering.

With an inductance of 1.5µH (±20%) and a high RMS current rating of 9.4A, it is engineered to handle significant power loads while maintaining stability. Its impressive saturation current (Isat) of 30.9A ensures reliable performance under peak conditions, minimising the risk of core saturation and efficiency loss. The extremely low DC resistance (max 0.01ohm) reduces power loss and heat generation, contributing to overall system efficiency and longevity.

Typical Applications

This inductor is exceptionally versatile and is commonly used in:

• DC/DC converters for voltage regulation
• Noise filters in power supply lines
• LED lighting drivers and ballasts
• xDSL modems and telecommunications equipment
• Office equipment such as copying machines
• Consumer electronics including flat‑screen televisions
• Smart metering systems
• General‑purpose switch‑mode power supplies (SMPS)

Constructed for reliability, it operates within a temperature range of up to +105°C, making it suitable for environments with elevated thermal demands. The magnetic non‑shielded type design allows for compact integration on printed circuit boards (PCBs). Its robust build and consistent electrical characteristics make it a trusted choice for engineers designing efficient and compact power solutions across industrial and consumer sectors.
