Air Coil Inductors vs. Iron Core Inductors
Characteristics |
Air Coil Inductors |
Iron Core Inductors |
Magnetic core |
No magnetic core, relies on air to create magnetic field |
Uses an iron core or other magnetic material to enhance the magnetic field |
Applicable frequency |
Suitable for high frequency applications |
Suitable for low to medium frequency applications |
Inductance |
Low inductance, more turns needed to increase inductance |
Higher inductance values can be obtained with fewer turns |
Loss |
Lower eddy current losses and hysteresis losses |
Higher hysteresis and eddy current losses, especially in high frequency applications |
Dimension |
Larger, especially in low-electric induction use |
Smaller for applications with limited space |
Application |
High-frequency filtering, audio equipment, RF communication, power supply |
Power supply filtering, transformers, low frequency current applications |
Air Core Chokes are based on the principles of electromagnetic induction and inductance. The core idea is to store energy by generating a magnetic field through the flow of current through a conductor coil. Unlike iron core inductors, air coil inductors do not have magnetic materials such as iron cores, so their magnetic field is formed entirely by air.
