kent120 Posted August 29, 2000 Share Posted August 29, 2000 Hi guys, I just got my inductors and ready to drop them in the crossover. I wonder if they are direction critical? In other word, which terminal is the input and output? (inner terminal or outer terminal) I have spent hours searching the archeive, but could not find anything. Thanks for any helps.

Randy Bey Posted August 29, 2000 Share Posted August 29, 2000 Nope. An inductor is a piece of wire. A long, coiled, piece of wire, but still a piece of wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted August 29, 2000 Share Posted August 29, 2000 kent, Yep, Randy is right, polarity is not a factor. One thing though. The mounting position might matter. The direction a coil is wound (C.W or C.C. W) and its position relitive to other inductors can cause differences in energy induced into it. So, try to keep it away from other inductors and metal objects (like mounting screws!). Remember, two coils next to each other is a transformer! Al K.
