Increductor - Any use or information?

Figured someone might know more about this. Looks like a saturatable inductor?

No datasheet avaliable from what I can tell, heck I dont even remember where I got it from!

Yeah. Never seen a datasheet for one, but have seen an ad or two.  Should be pretty easy to figure out from measured characteristics.

Interesting, I wonder if someone, deep outside the realms of the internet, had a datasheet sitting in a musty old box.   

I am assuming these are usually from RF use? I dont do much past 20khz  , but I think playing around with this may be fun. What applications have you seen them used in?

They can work down into the audio and power line frequency range in magnetic amplifier applications.  High reliability power applications still use them because they are essentially blow out proof short of continuous overload.
