SFAPI Series

Fixed Axial Power Inductors

The SFAPI Series is an entirely new line of fixed axial leaded power

inductors. When the current flowing through the coil changes, the time-

varying magnetic field induces a counter electromotive force in the

conductor which opposes the change in current that created it. As such,

inductors oppose any changes in current that pass through them. In power

supplies, an inductor’s role is to prevent sudden changes in current used.

Working alongside a capacitor, an inductor prevents sudden changes in the

power supply’s output voltage and current.

Due to the ferrite core material grade, these fixed power inductors have

high permeability, increased electrical resistivity, and low eddy current

losses such that their characteristics make them suitable for multiple high-

frequency applications. Power Inductors are used in variety of functions

including differential mode filtering, as output chokes and energy storage

devices in power supply topologies such a buck, boost, SEPIC and Cuk etc.
