Dayton Audio IC185-5 | 5.5 mH | 0.50 Ω | 3% | 18 AWG

The Dayton Audio IC185-5 is a premium iron core inductor coil engineered to deliver precise frequency filtering in high-fidelity speaker crossover networks. This 5.5 mH component ensures accurate signal division, allowing tweeters, midrange drivers, and woofers to operate within their optimal frequency ranges for a balanced, immersive soundstage. Ideal for audiophiles, DIY speaker builders, and professional audio technicians, this inductor excels in custom crossover designs, loudspeaker repairs, and upgrade projects where consistent performance is paramount.

Technically, the IC185-5 features a 5.5 mH inductance with a tight ±3% tolerance, guaranteeing reliable and repeatable filtering. Its low 0.50 Ω DC resistance minimises power loss and heat generation, preserving amplifier efficiency and sound clarity. Wound with 18 AWG wire (1.02 mm diameter), the coil handles up to 25 watts RMS continuous power, making it suitable for moderate to high-power applications. The iron core construction provides high inductance density in a compact form factor, while the ±3% tolerance ensures minimal deviation from specified values. Whether you are building a new crossover or refining an existing design, this Dayton Audio inductor offers the precision and durability required for superior audio reproduction.
