Inductance of a straight conductor of thin flat section

Inductance (and DC resistance) of a straight conductor of thin flat section

Straight conductor
of thin flat section

Conductor material:

σ : conductance ×10⁶ S/m

k : thermal conductivity W/m/K

T : temperature °C

δ : skin depth μm

f : frequency MHz

ℓ : wire length mm

w : wire width mm

t : wire thickness mm

L_flat : Inductance nH

R_dc : DC resistance mΩ

θ : thermal resistance K/W

R_dc : valid for -50°C ≤ temp ≤ 150°C

Formulas used

[μH]

where
L_flat : inductance of the conductor [μH]
ℓ : length of the conductor [mm]
w : width of the conductor [mm]
t : thickness of the conductor [mm]
