Good source of Chokes/Inductors

pjpoes · 17th May 2007, 10:24 PM

Hey Guys, can anyone recomend a place to get larger value high current inductors. I'm thinking I would prefer Toroidal designs, but could go with a typical air gap design too. Triad has an air gap type at a relativly affordable price. Toroid Corp is going to give me a quote, Plitron gave me a quote, bit too high. I'm wondering if there are places that carry some ready to order in low quantities at decent prices. I would need one that can handle around 15 amps or so and around 10mh inductance. Thanks.

Thanks but I need milli not micro. I think 8 microhenries will be too small. Good price though.

They show milli on the side, click the link.

oh I just noticed it is 8mh, ok I think I will be ordering those soon, that is one heck of a deal.

Steve,

Can those be used for passive XO's?

What wattage rating or wire gauge are they?

EDIT: spelling

At 16A, I suspect the wire is big enough.

pjpoes · 17th May 2007, 11:36 PM

Don't buy them all up, I need them, hehe. I think I will get 4 if I can, but at least 2, which is what I need.

Thank you. I thought so too but without a bottle of beer beside it, I couldn't get an idea how big it was.
