Inductors

Inductors, along with capacitors and resistors are the passive elements that make up electric circuits. Inductors are often used in alternating current applications. They are used to block the flow of alternating current (AC) while allowing direct current (DC) to pass. Inductors designed for this purpose are called chokes. Inductors are also used in combination with capacitors to make timing circuits.

An inductor consists of a coil of conducting material wrapped around a core of material designed to create a magnetic field. Inductors are characterized by their inductance, which is the ratio of the voltage to the rate of the change in the current. The unit of measurement used for inductors is called a Henry. The type of material used to resistor the current will affect the level of performance for the inductor. Many inductors have a magnetic core that is made of iron or ferrite inside the core.

R&J Components has a tremendous inventory of both leaded and surface mount inductors in stock in some of the industries most popular brands, We stock inductors made by API/Delevan, Central Technologies,  Gowanda, Inductor Supply and TOKO to name just a few.
