Technical Specifications

The SSL0804T-471M-N inductor has an inductance of 470μH (471 = 47 x 10^1). The 'M' indicates a ±20% tolerance on the inductance value. The saturation current (Isat) and RMS current (Irms) are crucial parameters for determining the inductor's ability to handle high current levels without significant performance degradation. Consult the datasheet for the specific Isat and Irms values. The operating temperature range typically spans from -40°C to +125°C. The 'N' suffix likely refers to a specific termination or packaging style. The shielded construction is achieved using a ferrite core material that surrounds the inductor coil, effectively containing the magnetic field and minimizing EMI.

This inductor is commonly used in buck converters, boost converters, and SEPIC converters. In a buck converter, it stores energy when the switch is on and releases it to the output when the switch is off, providing a stable and regulated output voltage. Its low EMI characteristic is particularly beneficial in applications where electromagnetic compatibility is critical, such as in medical devices, automotive electronics, and aerospace equipment. It can also be used for filtering noise in power lines and signal lines.
