Axial Lead Type Inductor 1.8uH 0.5W

Description:

An Axial Lead Type Inductor is a type of passive electronic component that stores energy in a magnetic field when current flows through it. The “axial” refers to the lead configuration, where the leads extend from either end of the inductor, allowing for easy integration into circuits, especially on a breadboard or PCB (printed circuit board).

Inductors are an integral part of any electronic circuit as they help us to protect the circuit from the current surges that might happen of you start any high-power device and other RF interference in the circuit. But the inductors that come in different size and shapes like toroidal shaped, iron core, laminated core etc. For PCB application you need a small size inductor package that can be easily mounted to the PCB board like SMD package or this 1/2W Inductors for Through Hole Package that you can use simply as you use a resistor. You don’t have to worry about the big packaging size of the inductor and space on the PCB. They have color bands on them to read its inductance value. They do not have any polarity so that you can use them in any orientation. They can be easily used in filter applications, and in DC-DC converters etc..

An axial inductor provides inductance for small, low-power, low-current electronics projects. It is very similar in form factor with a resistor, but is usually colored green.

Features:

• Compact and Easy to Mount: The axial lead design allows it to be easily mounted onto PCBs or through-hole components.
• Low Power Loss: The low resistance helps in reducing energy dissipation, making it efficient in handling power up to 0.5 watts.
• Versatile: Widely used in electronic applications ranging from consumer electronics to industrial machinery, depending on inductance and power requirements.
• Resistance: Low DC resistance to minimize power loss and heating.
• Operating Frequency: Often used in low to medium-frequency applications (up to several MHz depending on the type).
• Construction: The wire leads are often made of tinned copper or similar materials to ensure durability and ease of soldering.
