When choosing a conductor for use in an electronic circuit, there are several important properties that may need to be considered. The wire thickness and resistivity determines the current carrying ...

Radio amateurs often have a love-hate relationship with home-made inductors, sharing all kinds of tips and tricks as to how the most stable nanohenry inductor can be wound. But there’s another group ...

If you are a novice electronic constructor, you will become familiar with common electronic components. Resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes, LEDs, integrated circuits. These are the fodder for ...

Question: How do you measure inductor current? Answer: Switched-mode power supplies commonly use inductors to temporarily store energy. In the evaluation of these power supplies, it’s often useful to ...

Total Frequency Control (TFC) has added to its SMTE5S series of adjustable coils with an smd version of its existing E5-type tunable inductor coil. The standard inductance values for the SMTE5S range ...

Inductors of all types — whether discrete, chip, bead or coil — are trying to keep pace with the demands of modern power-supply designs by using diverse forms and materials, such as thin films, ...
