Mentech Magnetic Product Line

We take great delight in the fact that Mentech is always developing reliable solutions for the electronics market. We are able to provide first-rate goods that adapt to our customers' changing demands because we are dedicated to quality and innovation. Essential components in filtering electrical signals, our selection of inductors (often called reactor chokes) is something we'd like to offer to you today.

Understanding Inductors: The Backbone of Electrical Circuits

Inductors, also called reactor chokes, are passive electrical components made by wound coils. They play a crucial role in resisting sudden changes in current, which is vital for maintaining the integrity of electrical signals in various applications. So, what does a inductor do in a circuit? Simply put, it stores energy in a magnetic field when electrical current flows through it, thereby smoothing out fluctuations and providing stability in power delivery. At Mentech, we offer two main types of molded power inductors: the MHA series and the MHC series. Each series is tailored to specific applications and is based on different magnetic materials. The MHA series utilizes an iron-silicon-chromium alloy powder, while the MHC series is crafted from carbonyl iron powder. Both series boast compact designs that excel in handling unsaturated transient current peaks, ensuring that your devices operate smoothly and efficiently.

MHA Series: Low DCR and High LRM Performance

Our MHA2213SG SERIES exemplifies the advanced engineering behind our products. With dimensions of 22.5 mm in length, 22.0 mm in width, and 12.7 mm in height, this inductor is designed to fit seamlessly into a variety of circuits. It features an inductance of 100 µH (±20%), a maximum DCR of 51.6 mΩ, and can handle saturation currents up to 13 A with an RMS rating of 9 A. The MHA series is particularly known for its low direct current resistance (DCR), which enhances efficiency by minimizing power loss, and its high inductive reactance (LRMs), making it ideal for applications that require fast response times. This series is perfect for those seeking high-performance solutions in compact designs.

MHC Series: High Current Capability

On the other hand, our MHC series is engineered for high current capability, making it suitable for applications demanding robust performance. While it may not have the same low DCR as the MHA series, its strength lies in its ability to handle higher currents without compromising on efficiency. This makes the MHC series a preferred choice for applications where current spikes are common. When we consider the question, "what does a inductor do in a circuit?" the answer becomes even clearer. Inductors not only stabilize current but also filter out unwanted signals, ensuring that only the desired frequencies pass through. This capability is critical in maintaining signal integrity, especially in complex electronic systems.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Mentech stands out as a leader in providing high-quality inductors tailored to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Our MHA and MHC series offer unique advantages that cater to different application requirements. Whether you need low DCR for energy efficiency or high current capability for demanding environments, we have the right solution for you.
