Applications:

As a general-purpose inductor, the HM15-21000LF is suitable for a variety of low-power applications where an inductor is needed to:

Filtering and Smoothing: Inductors are commonly used in power supply circuits (like DC-DC converters or AC-DC rectifiers) to smooth out ripples in the current and provide a more stable output voltage.


Energy Storage: Inductors store energy in their magnetic field. This property is crucial in switching power supplies (e.g., buck, boost, buck-boost converters) where they are used to store and release energy to regulate voltage.



Impedance in AC Circuits: Inductors offer impedance that varies with frequency. This makes them useful in:


Resonant Circuits: In combination with capacitors, they form LC circuits for frequency selection or oscillation.


Chokes: To block high-frequency AC signals while allowing DC or low-frequency AC to pass.

EMI/RFI Suppression: The shielding characteristic of this inductor, along with its ability to present impedance to high frequencies, makes it useful for suppressing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) in sensitive electronic circuits.

Other Low Power Applications: Any circuit requiring a compact, encapsulated inductor for general inductance needs, within its specified current and temperature limits.
