Pics of the the two inductor samples I received.
Both are 1.8mH in value. The one with blue core uses Epcos core and has high permeability of around 4300 and Al value of around 9740nH. It has 13 turns to achieve 1.8mH. outer dia is 20mm and inner dia is 10mm.
These inductors require to handle current of max 5A at 16V. If I use the one with blue color core due to its small size, will it be able to operate at 5A without saturating?
Looking at the no of turns on the bigger one it appears to have low permeability and Al values.
Which is more suitable for operation at 5A at 16V in terms of core saturation?
I couldn't get any more details from the supplier.
Thanks Sridhar
