inductor identification..
 
need to id an inductor..its marked up 220..

i should know this but my minds gone blank...how does the coding go??
obviously first 2 digits are the value and last multiplyer so to speak..so
22 what..nh?uh? etc

thanks..

22 pico-henries? A 220 cap would be a 22 pico-farad. Sorry, my advise would
be measure. And you are right, we both should know this.

Hi all

But red/red/black should be 22 micro Henry's , shouldn't it ?

22 pico-henries?


Flippin' 'eck! 22pH is probably less than the stray inductance of the
device itself!
Actually, I can never rememeber these codings either. I believe it's
22uH but if someone more knowledgable can post the key to the inductor
multipliers here it would be very helpful!

220 is red-red-brown, usually, but you never know which standard they
follow, or perhaps they have their own standard, so even when they
write figures 220 could mean 22 or 220 µH, and pF if it was a
capacitor....

i know there is a code (japanese) that most/all the manufactors use, but i
just dont remember it!!!its the multiplier i cant remember!!
its not colour coded as i know that and thats always the same ie 22uh would
be red red black..2.2uh red red gold.
220nh red red silver.....

so i reccon its 22uh... taking the 0 as black. 220uh would be 221? 2.2mh 222

Most likely 22 micro Henries or possibly 220 micro Henries.

It is 22uh

Look it as if it was a resistor but instead of ohms you express it in microhenrys

Red red black is 22ohms so your inductor is 22uh

The multipliers are
Brown 10
Black 1
Gold 0.1
Silver 0.01

So if the colors was red red gold then it would be 2.2uh and so on

It took me weeks to realize that I was reading an 22uh inductor as 220uh

ISTR a simple LC oscillator that, when coupled to a frequency counter,
enabled unknown/dubious inductors to be classified when oscillating
with a known Capacitor. Where did I see it?.

One thing I've used ... if you simply put the inductor in series with a
resistor, and then put RF across it, you can then measure the voltage drops
across the resistor and the inductor with your RF probe and from there
calculate the inductance ... or capacitance for that matter.

The oscillator idea sounds a little more convenient, once you built up the
oscillator, with a few capacitance choices to get the resonance on the right
planet.

==============
Realising that not every ham has a MFJ 259B or similar analyser , this is a
really useful instrument and well worth considering ,not only for antenna
matching.
The 259B has among its facilities a capacitance and inductance measuring
capability.

When mesasuring inductances and capacitances it is very revealing that the
measured values do change dramatically at higher frequencies ,especially
useful to know when using components in HF and VHF circuits.

BTW I also use an inductance & capacitance meter with LCD readout
,operating with an internal 1000 Hz oscillator , which measures the
inductance / capacitance ,obviously at that frequency and is fine for up to
the lower HF frequencies.
