The SM7035P is an adjustable step-down DC-DC converter. It works by converting a DC input voltage to a lower, adjustable DC output voltage, typically between 3.3V and 18V. This conversion is achieved through a series of switching actions within the converter, which effectively “steps down” the voltage while providing a stable output.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

  • Input Voltage: The SM7035P accepts an input voltage ranging from 1 to 265 VAC.
  • Step-down Conversion: The converter uses a switching regulator design to reduce the input voltage to a lower, adjustable output voltage.
  • Adjustable Output: The output voltage can be set between 3.3V and 18V, allowing for flexibility in different applications.
  • Maximum Current: The device is capable of providing a maximum current of 200mA.
  • Efficiency and Power Conversion: The SM7035P is designed for high efficiency and power conversion, making it suitable for various applications.
  • RoHS Compliance: The device is RoHS-compliant, indicating it meets environmental standards.
  • SOP-8 Package: The SM7035P is housed in a SOP-8 package, a common type of surface mount integrated circuit package.

UU = form und dimension?
UF = material dicke? oder ferrite core material?

  • what is an uf10.5 inductor?
  • what is an UU9.8 inductor?
  • what is the maximal ac voltage of a uu9.8 inductor?
  • what is the maximal current of a UU9.8 choke?

Die Pitch für UF10.5 Gleichtaktdrosseln liegt bei 10*13mm. Dies bezieht sich auf die Abmessungen des Drahtes, der in der Induktivität verwendet wird, wie z.B. bei AliExpress.

The “UF10.5” in the context of electronic components refers to a type of common mode choke inductor. These chokes are used to filter out unwanted high-frequency noise and interference in electronic circuits. The “pitch” of an inductor refers to the spacing between the turns of the coil, which affects its inductance and overall performance.

A UU inductor, also known as a UU common mode inductor, is a dual coil inductive component that is mainly used in applications such as power supply filtering and EMI (electromagnetic interference) filtering.

An UU inductor is a type of inductor characterized by its core shape, which is composed of two U-shaped ferrite pieces joined to form a complete loop. It’s often used in common mode choke applications, typically designed to suppress noise in power supply circuits.

The UU refers to the shape of the core used: it’s two U shaped bits of ferrite put together to make a complete loop shape. As for a common mode choke, there are two separate coils on this inductor, which share the same core.

An UF10.5 inductor is a type of common mode choke inductor, designed for filtering out high-frequency noise and interference, specifically in electronic circuits. The “UF10.5” designation indicates a specific type and size, with a 10.5mm core material (UF stands for a specific ferrite material).

An UU9.8 inductor is a common mode choke, a type of inductor designed to suppress common mode electromagnetic interference (EMI) in electrical circuits. The “UU” refers to the shape of the ferrite core, which is two U-shaped pieces joined together. The number “9.8” likely refers to a specific core size or model.

UF10.5: This likely refers to a specific type and size of ferrite core material used in the inductor.

The maximum AC voltage an UU9.8 inductor can handle is 1500V AC when tested at 50Hz and 4mA for 1 minute, according to Miracle Electronic Devices and Prismatic Engineering. This voltage rating refers to the insulation between windings and between windings and the core. The insulation resistance is also specified to be greater than 100 MΩ at 500V DC.

The maximum current for a UU9.8 choke depends on the specific part number and application, but generally ranges from 0.06 Amps to 15 Amps, according to Coilcraft. Some manufacturers provide specific current ratings in milliAmps, as seen on Prismatic Engineering, while others, like Falco Electronics, list maximum current values up to 2 Amperes. It’s important to consult the datasheet for the specific UU9.8 choke you are using to determine its maximum current rating.

The maximum current for a UU10.5 choke can vary depending on the specific model, but generally ranges from 0.18A to 2A. Some suppliers like Coilcraft offer models with higher current ratings, even up to 15A.
