I need to pick an inductor for my Mini-Aleph PSU. I'm thinking about the Jantzen coils, something around 2-2mH.
There are the big ones:
Jantzen 2.2mH 15 AWG Air Core Inductor | Parts-Express.com
And there are models with a core, that supposedly takes more to saturate than a ferrite core:
Jantzen 2.2mH 15 AWG P-Core Inductor | Parts-Express.com
Now, I'm not sure at all what the cored inductor can take as DC, before it saturates. I guess I'll be drawing something like 3A trough them. Any ideas if they're usable or I should stick to the heavy air-cores?
