Title: Inductors
Post by: dan.schumaker on January 22, 2018, 02:12:31 PM
Looking at making a circuit with a wah inductor fit in a 1590A enclosure.  I'm thinking that a typical wah inductor will not allow the lid to close due to height.

So my question is, what is the difference between a 500uH wah inductor and one of these (besides mojo, of course)?

The typical wah inductor is 500mH (that is MILI-henries). Far more than 500uH (MICRO-henries)

So missed it by thaaaat much  ;)

I'm wondering if I could take a few, wire them in series to get the correct inductance....

I thought you were trying to get this into a 1590A. Won't that kind of defeat the purpose?

Yes, but you'd need 1000 of them!

Yeah, I might not be able to fit 1000 of them on there.  I definitely have room for 5 of these:
