0805HP-12NXGRC - COILCRAFT

0805HP-12NXGRC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for this inductor?
  Coilcraft recommends a land pattern with a pad size of 0.85 mm x 1.45 mm, with a non-solder mask defined (NSMD) pad shape, and a gap of 0.2 mm between the pads.
• How do I handle the inductor's thermal derating?
  The inductor's current rating is derated for temperatures above 40°C. Use the temperature derating curve in the datasheet to determine the maximum current rating at your operating temperature.
• What is the inductor's self-resonant frequency (SRF)?
  The SRF of the 0805HP-12NXGRC is not specified in the datasheet, but it can be estimated to be around 1-2 GHz based on the inductor's physical characteristics and Coilcraft's general SRF guidelines.
• Can I use this inductor in a high-frequency application?
  While the 0805HP-12NXGRC is suitable for high-frequency applications, its performance may degrade above 100 MHz due to its physical size and construction. Coilcraft offers other inductor series specifically designed for high-frequency applications.
• How do I ensure the inductor's reliability in a high-vibration environment?
  Coilcraft recommends following their recommended land pattern and soldering guidelines to ensure a reliable connection. Additionally, consider using a potting or encapsulation material to secure the inductor and prevent movement during vibration.
