Two Gently Used Homemade 1.5 mH 12 gauge inductors

Jimmy154 · 14th February 2011, 12:41 AM

Solen.ca wants $80 for a pair of inductors similar to these. Why buy those when you can get these custom made gems for half that

I like the style of the one on the right.

MisterTwister · 14th February 2011, 01:23 AM

yeah, neat job with one on the right

Precision.

I think someone is having a bad day.

Peace,

I had some problems removing the right one from an enclosure. It's always the first time you try to do something it turns out not so good.

I have 4 - .7082 mH 12 gauge cores that look like the one on the left. I wound and bonded them myself

I also have many 1 mH and .5 mH 16 gauge inductors wound on a machine. Although I like my hand wound ones better.

For real? Is the one on the right for sale? Or do we plan on rewinding it?

They want $80 for $2 worth of wire? Sheesh.

The 1.5 mH inductors I think I need, but I have a bunch of 18 gauge (I made a mistake, they are not 16 gauge) 1 mH (I think) inductors that I need to sell. Also I have four .7082 mH 12 gauge inductors I wound and bonded myself. Then I have others, I'm not sure of there value, but I can estimate it pretty close buy taking the DCR and/or measuring the winding dimensions. If I remember correctly the .7082 mH inductors are wound pretty well, not perfect though. It's the 1.5 mH inductors once I got past around 1 mH or so the windings started to become somewhat irregular, you could say.
