hi
gee that was quick I just posted a link to the little DIL type that I dont want checked
yes the one thats in the link could be put on a pcb, but thats the style of coil that I am interested in
why i need the inductance value is I need a pick up coil for a project , I need something greater then 1MH, but I would prefer something larger.
I can wind one but if a reed relay coil inductance value is bigger
I will give it a try.
The actual value of the coil does not realy matter, its only function is a magnetic pickup
and a reed relay coil would be nice and usefull given its size vs inductance
in a small package.
Most 1MH chokes have very little wire in them, and the inductance is boosted by a chunk of ferrite.
I need lots of wire and I think a RR coil should be ok, I dont have an inductance meter.
