Brief Introduction to Flat Spiral Coil Inductors

 Hi guys! Today JRPanel would like to share a few points about Flat Spiral Coil Inductors with you.


Basically, a flat coil inductor is an inductor wound with flat copper wire. The picture below is the side view, we can see that each circle of copper wire is arranged very compact.



Here are some of the application characteristics of flat coils:


1. High current inductance

2. Lowest DC resistance         

3. Can ensure smooth drop of current-resistant inductance

4. Suitable for reflow SMT process

5. Lead-free, RoHS compliant


This pciture shows a flat coil product. 

It is generally used in power supplies, personal computers and other handheld electronic devices.



Advantages of Flat Coil Inductors are:


1. Scientific and reasonable space design.


2. Tight and flat between turns ensures the effective cross-sectional area of the wire, which greatly reduces the copper loss and increases the temperature rise current of the product.


3. Flat Coil Inductors offer superior shielding over conventional chip inductors. The shape of the core matches the coil design, reducing magnetic field leakage to a minimum.

Core airgap can be adjusted at will to allow for higher current shocks.


4. The coils have superb solvent resistance, thermal stability, radiation resistance, and freezing resistance.


In the actual manufacture and application process, we generally perform two kinds of tests on Flat Coil Inductors.


First, we need to test its resistance with a resistance meter, to make sure that the resistance value is within a reasonable range.




Next we measure the inductance and Q value with an inductometer. Q value, also known as the quality factor of an inductor, is the main parameter for measuring inductor components. It is the ratio of the inductor's inductance to its equivalent loss resistance when operating at a certain frequency of AC voltage. The higher the Q value of an inductor, the smaller its losses and the higher its efficiency.



Such an important parameter, JRPanel also has to ensure that it meets the customization needs of our user.

What Exactly Is the Difference Between IP66 and IP67?

  What is IP67 and what is the difference between it and IP66?   This is probably the question that JRPanel engineers have been asked most often recently.   On the  online pricing page  of JRPanel's website, a new option appears in the Rear Adhesive section: 3M300LSE & Waterproof ( IP67 ).   In fact, this is a waterproof process recently upgraded by the JRPanel factory. This process can bring more possibilities to your products, and it also marks that JRPanel's products have reached a new level.   So what is the difference between IP67 and the previous  IP66 process ? In this article, we will explain in detail.   In the previous article  Criteria for the Classification Ratings of Ingress Protection , we introduced that the ingress protection rating is composed of two digits. The first  digit  represents the level of the electrical appliance's ability to prevent intrusion of foreign objects, and the second  digit ...

The Main Use and Classification Methods of Transformer Bobbins

  Hi guys, this blog is still about   high frequency transformers .   JRPanel   would like to introduce you the main use of transformer bobbins and how we classify them.   In the pictures are the transformer bobbins.        Following are the main uses of that JRPanel has summarized for you:   1. The bobbins provide space for winding copper wires in transformers.   2. Wire channel in the bobbins provides path for transformer winding.   3. The bobbins help to fix the core in the transformers.   4. The metal pins in the bobbins are connected to the  PCB  after soldering, which play an important role in conducting electricity when the transformer is working.   5. The baffle at the bottom of the bobbins isolates the core from the tin stack to avoid poor volta ge resistance.       From this it can be seen that the importance of bobbins in transf...
