If you already have inductor designs, we will be pleased to quote for their manufac-
ture. Just send us your drawings!
If you would like us to design inductors to meet your requirements, please send us
the following information. If you do not have all the information available, please just
give what you can.
1.
Specify the application. (For example, Energy Storage Choke for a Switched
Mode Power Supply). Please give as much information as you can.
2.
Specify the maximum dimensions of the space you have available for the
inductor.
3.
Specify if you require surface mounting or through-hole mounting.
4.
If you have a preference for a particular hardware design (for example rod or
toroidal), please state it.
5.
Specify your estimated requirements of quantities and delivery dates both for
short term and long term. This is important because it may influence what hardware
is specified for the design.
6.
If you have a target or maximum price level, please state it.
7.
Specify maximum average direct current flow.
8.
Specify maximum peak current flow.
9.
Sketch or describe any alternating current waveform (other than interference
current). If the waveform is variable, please specify the extremes.
FOR ENERGY STORAGE CHOKES (INDUCTORS):
10.
Specify inductance and widest acceptable tolerance at near zero current, at
maximum average current and at maximum peak current.
FOR ALL OTHER INDUCTORS:
10.
EITHER specify inductance and widest acceptable tolerance
OR specify minimum required impedance at particular frequencies or sketch
a
graph of minimum required impedance
versus frequency.
11.
Specify if common mode (current compensated) design is required.
(Examples of common mode chokes are shown on page 13.)
12.
Specify maximum working voltage between windings if common mode.
13.
If this working voltage is a.c., please specify the frequency.
