Performance Graph
The rated current is specified as the maximum DC current (A or mA) that causes a defined temperature rise (namely ΔT = 40K). The temperature rise plus the ambient temperature must not exceed the maximum operating temperature. For high current applications, please select the specific air core inductors: WE-KI HC, WE-ACHC and WE-CAIR.
