KEMET Ferrite Power Inductor 6.8µH

The KEMET Ferrite Power Inductor is a high-performance component essential for modern electronic design. Featuring a 6.8µH inductance and a robust drum core construction, it is engineered to provide reliable power management in demanding applications.

Constructed with a nickel-zinc (NiZn) ferrite core, this inductor offers excellent magnetic properties while maintaining a compact, unshielded form factor. It is capable of handling an RMS current (Irms) of 4.9A and a high saturation current (Isat) of 12.1A, ensuring stable operation under varying loads. With a low DC resistance of just 0.03ohm, it helps to minimise power loss and improve overall circuit efficiency.

Designed for versatility, it operates effectively across a wide temperature range of up to +105°C, making it suitable for use in environments where thermal management is critical. Its non-shielded magnetic design allows for flexible PCB layout while providing the necessary inductance for filtering and energy storage.

Key Applications

This inductor is a fundamental component in power conversion and noise suppression circuits. It is ideally suited for use in:

• DC/DC converters for efficient voltage step-down or step-up.
• Noise filters to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensure clean power delivery.
• LED lighting drivers and control systems.
• Telecommunications equipment, including xDSL modems.
• Office machinery such as copying machines.
• Consumer electronics, including flat-screen televisions.
• Smart metering systems for utility monitoring.
• General-purpose switch-mode power supplies (SMPS).

Part of the reliable SBC Series, this component combines performance with the quality assurance of the KEMET brand, providing engineers with a dependable solution for their power design challenges.
