KEMET Ferrite Power Inductor, 10µH

The KEMET Ferrite Power Inductor is a high-performance component designed for demanding power applications. This 10µH inductor features a drum core construction using a nickel-zinc (NiZn) ferrite core, offering an excellent balance of magnetic properties and stability for DC/DC converters and noise filtering circuits. Its unshielded (magnetic non-shield) design makes it suitable for a wide range of compact electronic assemblies where space is at a premium.

Engineered for reliability, it operates within a temperature range of up to +105°C, ensuring consistent performance in various environmental conditions. Key electrical specifications include an RMS current (Irms) rating of 4.2A and a high saturation current (Isat) of 9.6A, providing robust current handling capabilities. With a low maximum DC resistance of just 0.03ohm, it helps to minimise power loss and improve overall circuit efficiency.

Typical Applications

This versatile inductor is a common choice in modern power electronics. It is ideally suited for use in:

• LED lighting drivers and ballasts
• xDSL modems and broadband communication equipment
• Office machinery such as copying machines and printers
• Flat-screen television power supplies
• Smart meter and metering infrastructure
• General-purpose switch-mode power supplies (SMPS)

Part of the KEMET SBC Series, this component is built to deliver dependable performance in compact, power-dense designs, making it an excellent choice for engineers seeking a reliable inductive solution.
