#B966AS-100M=P3 - Murata Electronics

#B966AS-100M=P3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for this inductor?
  Murata recommends a land pattern with a minimum pad size of 2.5mm x 1.5mm and a spacing of 0.5mm between pads to ensure reliable soldering and minimize thermal resistance.
• How do I handle the inductor's thermal derating?
  The inductor's temperature derating curve is typically provided in the datasheet. To handle thermal derating, ensure the inductor is operated within the recommended temperature range (e.g., -40°C to +125°C) and consider the derating factor when calculating the maximum current rating.
• What is the self-resonant frequency (SRF) of this inductor?
  The SRF of the #B966AS-100M=P3 inductor is typically around 100 MHz to 200 MHz, but it's recommended to consult the datasheet or contact Murata support for the exact value, as it may vary depending on the specific part number and manufacturing lot.
• Can I use this inductor in a high-frequency application (e.g., >100 MHz)?
  While the #B966AS-100M=P3 inductor is suitable for high-frequency applications, its performance may degrade above 100 MHz due to increased core losses and skin effect. It's recommended to consult Murata's high-frequency inductor offerings or consider alternative components specifically designed for high-frequency applications.
• What is the recommended soldering profile for this inductor?
  Murata recommends a soldering profile with a peak temperature of 260°C to 280°C, a dwell time of 10 seconds to 30 seconds, and a cooling rate of 3°C/s to 6°C/s to ensure reliable solder joints and minimize thermal stress.
