Transformer
Types of Transformers
Informational Transformer
Standard transformer used to transfer electrical energy through electromagnetic induction
Audio Transformer
Subminiature Pulse Transformer
Inductors
Types of Inductors
Informational Inductors
Inductors inhibit the flow of electrical current in alternating current or transient applications. Inductors are used in some A.C. circuits to reduce the voltage reaching the intended load. They may be used to lime the amount of A.C. current flow.
Toroidal Inductors
Among inductors, toroidals are the high performers. They offer the smallest size and lower electromagnetic interference (EMI). They have a proportionally larger surface area. A 360 degree wound toroidal transformer has a high degree of symmetry, its geometry leads to near complete magnetic field cancellation outside of its coil, hence , it has less EMI when compared against other inductors of equal power rating. Windings that are less than 360 degrees exhibit more EMI. Toroidal inductors with a round core cross-section are better performers than toroidal inductors with a rectangular cross section because the cancellation is more complete for the round cross section. The round cross section also gives a shorter turn length of cross sectional areas lowering winding resistance.
Surface-mount Inductors
Converters
Coverters
Informational Converters
A converter is an electrical mechanical device used for converting electrical energy in the forms of AC/DC or Voltage and Frequency
PCBoard Assemblies
PC Board Assemblies
Information
A printed circuit board (PCB), is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive pathways, or traces, etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive subatrate.Alternative names are printed wiring board (PWB) and etched wiring board.A PCB populated with electronic components is a printed circuit assembly (PCA), also known as a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). PCBs are highly reliable and although there is a higher initial cost than either wire-wrapped or point-to-pint constructed circuits, they are much cheaper and faster for high-volume production.
Planer Magnetics
Planer Magnetics
Information
The planar core consists of two flat pieces of magnetic material, one above and one below the coil. It is typically used with a flat coil and often becomes part of a printed circuit board. This design allows for a high power, small volume transformer..
