Bourns recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with a central ground plane, and keeping the input and output traces as short as possible to minimize parasitic inductance and capacitance.
The CW252016-15NK is designed to operate up to 1 MHz, but it's essential to consider the skin effect, proximity effect, and core losses when operating at high frequencies. Consult Bourns' application notes for guidance on high-frequency design.
The CW252016-15NK has a maximum DC current rating of 15A, but it's crucial to consider the inductor's temperature rise, core saturation, and wire resistance when operating at high DC currents.
The CW252016-15NK has a maximum operating temperature of 125°C, but it's essential to derate the inductor's current rating and consider the temperature coefficient of inductance when operating in high-temperature environments.
Consult Bourns' safety and regulatory documentation, and ensure the CW252016-15NK meets the necessary standards and certifications for your application, such as UL, IEC, and RoHS compliance.
