1206CS-101XFLC - COILCRAFT

1206CS-101XFLC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for the 1206CS-101XFLC?
  Coilcraft recommends a land pattern with a pad size of 1.3 mm x 1.3 mm and a spacing of 0.5 mm between pads. The recommended land pattern is available on the Coilcraft website.
• Can I use the 1206CS-101XFLC in a high-temperature application?
  The 1206CS-101XFLC is rated for operation up to 125°C. However, the inductor's performance may degrade at high temperatures, and the core material may saturate. Coilcraft recommends derating the inductor's current rating at high temperatures.
• How do I handle the 1206CS-101XFLC inductor during PCB assembly?
  The 1206CS-101XFLC is a sensitive component and requires careful handling during PCB assembly. Avoid touching the component's leads or body, as the oils from human skin can cause damage. Use ESD-safe handling procedures and tools to prevent damage from static electricity.
• Can I use the 1206CS-101XFLC in a high-vibration application?
  The 1206CS-101XFLC is designed to withstand moderate vibration levels. However, extreme vibration can cause the inductor's leads to fatigue or the core material to crack. Coilcraft recommends testing the inductor in the specific vibration environment to ensure its reliability.
• How do I determine the 1206CS-101XFLC's self-resonant frequency?
  The self-resonant frequency of the 1206CS-101XFLC can be determined by measuring the inductor's impedance versus frequency using a network analyzer or impedance analyzer. The self-resonant frequency is typically above 100 MHz for this inductor.
