I am looking for a source for inductors in the 100uH to about 5mH range
suitable for use in switching power supplies.  Active Electronics does
not appear to carry such items, nor does ALL and Digi-Key's listings of
inductors shows very low current limits (I assume this is due to  core
saturation as well as power disipation in the parasitic resistance).
I only need up to about an amp of current capability.

Can anyone suggest a source for such inductors, or, failing that, for cores
suitable for winding one's own inductors?
