SURFACE MOUNT INDUCTORS: COMPACT SOLUTIONS FOR MODERN ELECTRONICS
What Are Surface Mount Inductors?
Surface mount inductors, also known as SMD (Surface Mount Device) inductors, are miniature electromagnetic components designed for direct mounting onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). These inductors store energy in a magnetic field when current flows through them, making them crucial for various electronic functions.
