Kemet SBC Series Ferrite Power Inductor 1mH

The Kemet SBC Series Ferrite Power Inductor provides 1 mH inductance for power management and noise filtering in electronic designs.

Overview

This drum core power inductor uses a nickel-zinc (NiZn) ferrite core, a material selected for its high-frequency characteristics and low core losses. It is designed for power conditioning and noise filtering, supporting stable inductance and efficient operation in DC/DC converters and noise suppression circuits. The inductor is a magnetic non-shielded type, offering a compact form for board-level mounting.

Key Specifications

• Inductance: 1 mH with a tolerance of ±10%
• RMS Current (Irms): 560 mA
• Saturation Current (Isat): 1.1 A
• DC Resistance: Maximum of 1.21 ohm, which helps minimise power loss in the form of heat
• Ambient Operating Temperature: Up to +105°C
• Dimensions: 43 mm height, 33 mm width, 15 mm depth

Typical Applications

This inductor is commonly specified for a range of electronic systems, including:

• LED lighting drivers for efficient current regulation
• xDSL modems and broadband communication equipment for power filtering
• Office equipment such as copying machines and printers
• Consumer electronics including flat-screen televisions
• Smart metering infrastructure for reliable power management

With an operating range of up to +105°C, it suits environments with elevated temperatures, such as within power supplies or close to other heat-generating components. Its combination of inductance, current ratings and compact dimensions makes it a practical choice for designers working with power conditioning and noise filtering in communication equipment, office electronics and smart metering systems.
