As a very common electronic component, ferrite wound inductor has many package types. When we do the selection of ferrite wound inductors, we will emphasize two aspects: one is the package size;The second is electrical performance information. So, are the package sizes of two ferrite wound inductors with the same electrical properties the same?
In fact, this question is relatively simple, and the answer is not necessarily. Although they have the same electrical property information, their package sizes cannot be exactly the same. We know that the package size of an inductor has an impact on electrical performance, but it is not only the package size that affects the electrical performance of an inductor. For example, the production materials of the inductor, the manufacturing process of the inductor, the formula of the magnetic core, the winding method of the inductor, etc., will have an impact on its electrical properties. The reverse is also true – two inductors of the same type in the same series with the same package may not have exactly the same electrical properties.
In general, even if two ferrite wound inductors have the same performance, they may not be the same size. If you are looking for a corresponding alternative inductor, you can match it accordingly in combination with the actual application scenarios and usage requirements to meet different application needs.
