The Difference Between Magnetic Ring Inductance And Chip Inductance

2022 02/15

Friends who are familiar with inductors know that inductors can be divided into many types according to different angles such as shape or function, such as welt inductors, integrated inductors, color ring inductors, I-shaped inductors, etc. Today, I will share with you the difference between chip inductors and magnetic ring inductors.Although both chip inductors and magnetic ring inductors belong to inductors, they are still very different.


Today, we mainly analyze the difference between the chip inductance and the magnetic ring inductance from the perspective of the current that is allowed to pass through the inductance.

Chip inductors have the characteristics of miniaturization, high quality, and high energy storage, and are one of the most commonly used inductor types. Due to its particularity, chip inductors are usually small current in terms of production requirements.

For example, the current of some magnetic ring inductors can reach more than ten A, while the current of conventional chip inductors is only a few A. When the inductance value is tens of MH, the inductance current of the magnetic ring can reach 1A, but the current of the conventional SMD inductance can not be so large, even if the current is achieved, it is UA level (UA level usually refers to the quiescent current below 0.1mA .ie around 1-100UA, usually around 10UA).

Magnetic ring inductance and chip inductance are still very distinguishable in appearance. We can see the magnetic ring inductance at a glance, why do you say that? Because the magnetic ring inductor generally has a ring, its enameled wire is wound on the magnetic ring. SMD inductors are generally white, wire wound, etc. The inductance value is generally marked on its surface, such as 2R2 and so on.

Magnetic ring inductance has the characteristics of high saturation magnetic induction intensity, small temperature rise and large inductance. Magnetic ring inductance generally can pass large current and have high inductance value. However, there is little difference in the inductance value of the power type inductors. The main difference between them is the size of the current that is allowed to pass through during operation.
In addition, their uses are also different. Chip inductors are mainly used in converters, communication equipment and other fields. Magnetic ring inductors are mainly used in fields such as automobiles.
