I think an article like this would benefit by including the specs for each of the coils, such as weight, winding material, number of turns, effective area, resistance, and inductance, as well as covering the differences between air cores and ferromagnetic cores. One of the biggest time sinks in selecting components like these is getting suppliers to give you data sheets and converting their specs into a comparable format.
- kartikkumar 7y agoThanks for the feedback! That's exactly the direction we're heading towards :) We've already noticed that suppliers are starting to open up their product data because of the value we can bring to them through our website. Our long-term plan is indeed to structure data sheets, so that you can actually start comparing products without having to spend hours wading through PDFs docs. We've soft-launched our API [1], which we're using to build tools like our Data Explorer [2], to help engineers navigate design choices much more easily. Under the hood, we're working with suppliers to convert their data sheets to a standardized format. We'll work on trying to extend this article specifically with your feedback. Thanks again!
