help me to know the basics of tapping an inductor
For small air-core inductors there are a couple of methods that I have used. 1. Wind 10 turns and carry the end lead out about 1 inch away from the coil, then carry the wire back next to the 1 inch lead, back to the coil and continue winding for another 30 turns. Scrape off the insulation of the double-wire lead and use that as the tap. 2. Wind 10 turns. Scrape off the insulation at the 10th turn, leaving an opening to solder a wire on the coil. Continue winding 40 turns. Solder a wire onto the scraped off opening for use as the tap. I like the first method best, but both will work. .
