Inductor Analysis On MIT Speaker Cable MITerminator 5

I never thought that my post about the mysterious box of the MIT Cable MITerminator 5 here is become the most views in this blog.

Continue from the last post, I will going deeper with the inductor specification.



So I open up again this MITerminator 5 box.

I clean up the inductor from the remaining glue for better looking and it is now ready to measure.

The outer diameter of the inductor is 25 mm.

The height is 10 mm.

The wire diameter is 0.7 mm.

The inside diameter is 16 mm and the iron core diameter is 15 mm. 





When measure the inductor value using Atmel based LCR meter, the value is 0,25 mH with the total resistance is 0,7 ohm.


The iron core is just an insert to the coil housing, so it is very easy to remove it.


Without the iron core, the inductance is reduce and become 0,21 mH with the resistance at 0,7 ohm.


That is all I can share about the inductor specification from the "secret" box of the MIT speaker cable. 

Hope this information can pay-off our curiosity so far.

  1. according to your schematic drawing no effect of the inductor because 18awg cable bypassing the inductor or if its a bi wire cable then there is a effect on 22awg cable for Mid and HF definitly
