KEMET SBC Series 1.5µH Ferrite Power Inductor

The KEMET SBC Series Ferrite Power Inductor is a high-performance unshielded inductor engineered for a wide range of power and signal applications. Its robust drum core construction with a nickel-zinc (NiZn) ferrite core delivers reliable energy storage and efficient filtering in compact electronic systems.

With an inductance of 1.5µH and a saturation current rating of 4A, this inductor supports demanding current loads while maintaining stable performance. The RMS current (Irms) is rated at 2.9A, and the maximum DC resistance is a low 0.03 ohm, helping to minimise power losses and improve overall circuit efficiency.

The unshielded (magnetic non-shield) design makes it ideal for applications where EMI shielding is not a primary concern, and its high operating temperature range of up to +105°C ensures dependable operation in thermally challenging environments. The inductance tolerance is ±20%, providing broad compatibility for replacement and design flexibility.

Typical Applications

• Suitable for DC/DC converters and noise filters.
• Ideal for LED lighting, xDSL modems, and copying machines.
• Commonly used in flat TVs, smart meters, and power supplies.
