Q.
Please explain the specifying conditions for the rated current of inductors for power circuits (Power Inductors).
- Inductors (Coils)
A. The rated current of an inductor for power circuits (Power Inductors) is either Isat (current value based on inductance change) or Itemp (current value based on self temperature rise). The value of Isat (inductance change) or ltemp (self temperature rise) is different for each product; please refer to the catalog, etc., of each product. Please check here for the maximum current value that can be applied momentarily.
