Allowable coil current

Explains the allowable current of a coil based on magnetic flux density.
Below is the basic formula for calculating magnetic flux density.

When the current is increased in a coil wound around a core, the inductance decreases.
When it becomes completely magnetically saturated, it has the same inductance as a coil without a core.

Drum-type choke coil

【Features】Low cost.

Core:LH14 DR2W7.8×7.5
Nickel-Zinc
Ferrite core
Inductance:680μH±10%

Toroidal type choke coil

【Features】Closed magnetic circuit for low noise.

Core:CH203060
HIGH FLUX
Ni-Fe alloy powder cores
Inductance:180μH±10%

Transformer type choke coil

【Features】The allowable current and inductance can be changed by adjusting the core gap.

Core:EER28/34
Manganese-Zinc
Ferrite core
Inductance:260μH±10%
