KEMET SBC Series Ferrite Power Inductor, 220µH

The KEMET SBC Series Ferrite Power Inductor is a high-reliability passive component designed for demanding electronic power applications. Built on a drum core construction using a nickel-zinc (NiZn) ferrite core, this inductor offers excellent magnetic performance. Its unshielded, magnetic non-shield type design provides an efficient and compact solution for circuit designers seeking stable inductance in power conversion and filtering stages.

With an inductance value of 220µH and a tolerance of ±10%, this component ensures consistent performance in your circuits. It is engineered to handle a maximum RMS current (Irms) of 390mA and a saturation current (Isat) of 320mA, making it suitable for medium-power applications. The maximum DC resistance is kept low at 1.2ohm, which helps to minimise power losses and heat generation during operation.

This inductor is constructed to endure the thermal stresses of continuous operation, featuring an operating temperature range of up to +105°C. This makes it a robust choice for applications where components are placed near heat-generating elements or within enclosed spaces.

Typical Applications

• Power Conversion: Ideal for use in DC/DC converters, where it helps to smooth and regulate voltage.
• Noise Filtering: Effectively suppresses electromagnetic interference (EMI) in noise filter circuits.
• Consumer Electronics: Commonly found in LED lighting drivers, xDSL modems, copying machines, and flat-screen televisions.
• Industrial & Utility: Suitable for integration into smart meters and various types of switch-mode power supplies (SMPS).

With compact dimensions of 33mm in width, 43mm in height, and 15mm in depth, and a light weight of just 0.6 grams, the KEMET 220µH inductor saves valuable board space without compromising on electrical performance or thermal resilience.
