The ELC6GN4R7N is a fixed inductor manufactured by Panasonic. These inductors are commonly used in a wide range of electronic circuits for filtering, energy storage, and impedance matching. The '4R7' in the part number typically indicates an inductance value of 4.7 μH (microhenries).

Applications

• DC-DC converters
• Power supplies
• RF circuits
• Filtering circuits

Features

• Fixed inductance value
• Compact size
• Shielded construction (depending on series)
• High current carrying capacity (depending on series)

Benefits

• Provides stable inductance for reliable circuit performance.
• Saves board space due to its small size.
• Reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) with shielded options.
• Handles high currents without saturation (depending on the series).

Additional Details

The specific characteristics of the ELC6GN4R7N, such as its tolerance, DC resistance (DCR), saturation current, and self-resonant frequency (SRF), depend on the particular series within the Panasonic ELC family. Designers should consult the datasheet for the ELC6GN series to obtain detailed specifications. These inductors are often surface-mount devices (SMD) for automated assembly. They are typically constructed with a ferrite core and wound with copper wire. The ELC series from Panasonic offers a variety of inductance values and current ratings to suit different applications. Proper selection of the inductor is crucial for optimal circuit performance, taking into account factors such as inductance value, current rating, DCR, and SRF.
