KEMET Ferrite Power Inductor, 680µH, Unshielded

The KEMET SBC Series Ferrite Power Inductor is a high-performance component crucial for managing power and filtering noise in modern electronic circuits. Featuring a compact drum core construction, it utilises a high-frequency nickel-zinc (NiZn) ferrite core material. This makes it exceptionally suitable for demanding applications such as DC/DC converters and various types of noise filters, where stable inductance and efficient power handling are required.

Typical Applications

This 680µH inductor is designed for integration into a wide array of electronic devices. Its robust design supports use in:

• LED lighting drivers and fixtures
• xDSL broadband modems and routers
• Office equipment, including photocopiers and printers
• Flat-screen televisions and monitors
• Smart meters for utility monitoring
• General-purpose switch-mode power supplies (SMPS)

Key Features & Specifications

The component is an unshielded (magnetic non-shield) type, allowing for a compact form factor suitable for dense PCB layouts. It is engineered to operate reliably in environments with an ambient temperature of up to +105°C. Key electrical specifications ensure predictable performance in circuit design, with a rated RMS current of 360mA and a saturation current of 380mA. Its DC resistance is kept to a maximum of 1.62 ohms to minimise power loss, and the inductance tolerance is maintained at ±10%.

With its proven reliability and versatile application range, this KEMET power inductor is an excellent choice for designers seeking a dependable component for power management and EMI suppression in commercial and industrial electronics.
