KEMET Ferrite Power Inductor, 680µH, 1A

The KEMET SBC Series Ferrite Power Inductor (680µH) is a high-performance component designed for demanding electronic applications. Featuring a robust drum core construction, it offers reliable inductance and stable performance in a variety of circuit designs. The inductor utilises a nickel‑zinc (NiZn) ferrite core, which provides excellent magnetic properties suitable for power conversion and noise suppression tasks. Its unshielded, magnetic non‑shield type construction allows for efficient operation in space‑constrained designs where component height is a consideration. This inductor is rated for an RMS current (Irms) of 1A and a saturation current (Isat) of 1.3A, ensuring it can handle significant power loads without performance degradation. A maximum DC resistance of 0.52ohm helps to minimise power losses, while an operating temperature range of up to +105°C guarantees reliability in environments with elevated thermal conditions. The compact dimensions make it an ideal choice for modern, densely packed PCB layouts.

Key Applications

This versatile inductor is engineered for use in DC/DC converters and noise filters, making it a critical component in power management and signal integrity circuits. It is particularly well‑suited for:

• LED lighting systems
• xDSL modems and broadband equipment
• Office machinery such as copying machines
• Consumer electronics including flat‑panel televisions
• Smart metering and energy management devices
• General‑purpose switch‑mode power supplies (SMPS)

With its combination of a high‑quality NiZn ferrite core, precise electrical specifications, and a broad operating temperature range, the KEMET 680µH inductor delivers dependable performance for both industrial and commercial electronic designs. It is a trusted component for engineers seeking to enhance efficiency and reduce electromagnetic interference in their power supply circuits.
