Inductor 'polarity' ?

09-07-2011, 03:38 AM

Just noticed an inductor I bought has a short lead and a long lead.

Does this indicate something? All I can think of is winding direction or such, but does that actually matter?

As far as I know - no. That's probably just how it came out of the factory.
