Anyone tried these inductors?

Hi,

These inductors seems to work good I think in a power supply
Anyone got an opinion about these coils?
These are originally used for speakers.

again just in case..;-)

Tritec coils

blank,

I´ve looked at them for my upcoming Aleph-X but think they´ve got a bit too much dc-resistance (0.24R), are a bit too big and probably a waiste of money for a Pi-filter. (2.2mH)

After a bit of searching I think I´ll buy some "torobar" chokes (also from Intertechnik) wich have much lower dc-resistance (0.12), a saturation current of almost 11A, are a lot smaller and only cost a fraction of the tritecs.

How did you find the saturation current on the page of Intertechnik ?

I looked at http://www.intertechnik.de/cgi-local...att.pl?1340580 and there are the data of the torobars

Disculpe Sorry Entschuldigung. Ich hatte es nicht gesehen.

Thanks for the link. Interesting supplier.

Hi,

I am using Intertechnik I-Point Coils with 3.9 mH and 0,16 Ohm resistance...

http://www.schuro.de/Downloads/PDF-P...Punkt_I_BR.PDF

They are cheap (about € 8.00 = $ 8.00) and according to Intertechnik they can handle high amounts of current without satturation. They are a bit long though...

Greetings,

Lucas.

Hi william,
the Torobar chokes have a lower dc-resistance as 0.12, dont they?
Have a look

Or am i wrong?

I think they made some error. On the Intertechnik site you see other DCR values. E.g 0.12 ohm for 2.2 mH.

Hi,

For my AlephX-200 I want to use this schematic.

http://web.vip.hr/pcb-design.vip/power-2.html

Of course the values in the schematic are not correct for a AlephX so here are the values that I am going to use:

Voltage rails: +31V/-31V
Bias current: 8A
Capacitors: 8x47000uF
coils: 3.9mH

For the choise of the 3.9mH coils I looked at the torobars and the tritecs. The torobars are cheaper and have a lower resistance but the only thing that worries me is the saturation current. According to the specs. the torobars have a saturation current of 11.5 amps. According to the specs. the tritecs don't have a saturation current.

How important is the saturation current for coils when using them for a psu? And can I use the torobar coils for my psu?

Mensing,

8A is less than 11 so it should be ok to use the torobars. (I will also use them for my X).

Question,

why do you choose 3.9mH instead of 2.2mH?
