Frequently Asked Questions

What inductance and DC resistance does the RLB9012-122KL provide for DC-DC converter designs?

The RLB9012-122KL provides 1200 µH nominal inductance with a DC resistance of 3.4 Ω. These parameters suit low-frequency DC-DC converter output filters where high inductance is needed to reduce ripple current, though the 3.4 Ω DCR should be factored into efficiency calculations for battery-powered or high-current designs.

How does the ferrite core of the RLB9012-122KL compare to air-core alternatives in converter filtering?

The ferrite core in the RLB9012-122KL allows it to achieve 1200 µH in a compact cylindrical body, whereas an air-core inductor of equivalent inductance would be significantly larger. Ferrite provides higher permeability enabling dense energy storage, though designers must verify the saturation current rating matches converter peak currents, as ferrite cores saturate at defined current levels unlike air-core types.

For a battery charger operating at low switching frequencies, how suitable is the RLB9012-122KL's 1200 µH inductance?

At 1200 µH, the RLB9012-122KL is well suited for battery charger circuits operating at switching frequencies below 100 kHz, where high inductance values are needed to limit inductor current ripple to acceptable levels. For example, at 20 kHz with a 12 V input, the 1200 µH inductance produces less than 500 mA peak-to-peak ripple in a typical buck converter stage with moderate output current.
