Despite the industry's shift toward surface-mount technology, through-hole radial inductors maintain crucial advantages in power supply designs. Their robust mechanical connections provide superior stability for high current inductor applications, better thermal management, and increased resilience in demanding environments. This makes them particularly valuable in buck converter designs where stability and current handling outweigh space constraints.
When selecting inductors for noise-sensitive applications, three parameters demand special attention:
DC Resistance (DCR) significantly impacts efficiency and thermal performance. Low DCR inductors minimize I²R losses, reducing heat generation and improving overall system efficiency—especially critical in high-current applications where even small resistance values cause substantial power dissipation.
Current handling requires understanding both saturation current (where inductance drops) and RMS current (thermal limitations). The ideal inductor provides sufficient margin in both parameters.
Tolerance precision affects performance predictability. A ±10% tolerance inductor ensures consistent power supply characteristics across production runs, reducing manufacturing tuning requirements.
Switching regulators inherently generate electrical noise through rapid switching operations. The inductor serves as a crucial filter, but its effectiveness depends on proper selection. High-frequency performance characteristics, including self-resonant frequency and quality factor, determine how well the inductor filters switching noise without introducing new resonances.
Through-hole components often allow for better grounding and shorter connection paths, reducing opportunities for noise pickup and transmission. This structural advantage, combined with proper inductor for buck converter selection, significantly contributes to cleaner power output.
In critical applications, high reliability radial inductor performance becomes paramount. Construction quality—including wire-wound techniques with proper terminations—ensures mechanical stability through thermal cycling and vibration. Operating temperature range (typically -55°C to +125°C for high-reliability components) indicates performance stability under extreme conditions.
Choosing a high reliability radial inductor supplier involves evaluating factors beyond specifications. Consistent manufacturing processes, technical support capability, and application-specific guidance distinguish superior suppliers. Quality documentation, including detailed specifications and application notes, demonstrates commitment to designer success.
Our LCHB series through-hole radial inductors exemplify the convergence of these critical characteristics. Designed for switching regulator applications, these components offer:
These inductors support various applications including power supplies, RFI suppression, filters, and switching regulators—making them versatile solutions for diverse design challenges.
Selecting the optimal inductor involves evaluating operating parameters, current requirements, efficiency needs, physical constraints, and reliability requirements. By systematically addressing these considerations, designers can identify components that deliver required parameters with sufficient margin for safety and reliability.
The right through-hole radial inductor—particularly one with high current capability, low DCR, and precision tolerance—can transform a problematic design into a robust, reliable product.
