#B953AS-180M=P3 - Murata Electronics

#B953AS-180M=P3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for this inductor?
  The recommended land pattern for the #B953AS-180M=P3 inductor is a rectangular pad with a size of 2.5mm x 1.5mm, with a non-solder mask defined (NSMD) pad shape. This ensures proper soldering and minimizes the risk of solder bridging.
• How do I handle the inductor's thermal considerations?
  The #B953AS-180M=P3 inductor has a maximum operating temperature of 125°C. To ensure reliable operation, it's essential to provide adequate thermal relief by using a thermal pad or via under the inductor, and ensuring good airflow around the component.
• What is the inductor's self-resonant frequency (SRF)?
  The self-resonant frequency (SRF) of the #B953AS-180M=P3 inductor is approximately 250 MHz. This is the frequency at which the inductor's impedance peaks, and it's essential to consider this when designing the circuit to avoid unwanted resonances.
• Can I use this inductor in a high-vibration environment?
  The #B953AS-180M=P3 inductor is designed to withstand moderate vibration levels. However, if your application involves extreme vibration, it's recommended to consult with Murata's application engineers to determine the inductor's suitability and potential derating requirements.
• What is the inductor's moisture sensitivity level (MSL)?
  The #B953AS-180M=P3 inductor has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1, which means it can withstand a maximum of 30 days in a humidity-controlled environment before soldering. Proper storage and handling procedures should be followed to prevent moisture absorption.
