KEMET SBC Series Ferrite Power Inductor, 6.8mH

The KEMET SBC Series Ferrite Power Inductor is an essential high-frequency component designed for demanding electronic applications. Its drum core construction utilises a nickel-zinc (NiZn) ferite core in a non-shielded, magnetic design. This robust build ensures reliable performance in power circuits where consistent inductance and current handling are critical.

This 6.8mH inductor is specifically engineered to operate efficiently in DC/DC converters and noise filters, making it a versatile choice for modern power management systems. It supports an operating temperature range of up to +105°C, allowing for stable performance in a variety of environmental conditions, from consumer electronics to industrial equipment.

• Typical applications include:
  • LED lighting drivers and systems
  • xDSL modems and broadband equipment
  • Office machinery such as copying machines
  • Consumer electronics like flat-screen televisions
  • Smart meters and energy monitoring devices
  • General-purpose and switched-mode power supplies

Key electrical specifications include an RMS current (Irms) rating of 180mA and a saturation current (Isat) of 420mA, ensuring it can handle transient peaks without performance loss. With a maximum DC resistance of 8.92ohm and an inductance tolerance of ±10%, it provides predictable and repeatable circuit behaviour. The compact physical footprint makes it suitable for densely populated printed circuit boards.
