HC1-2R3-R - Eaton

HC1-2R3-R Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB land pattern for the HC1-2R3-R?
  The recommended PCB land pattern for the HC1-2R3-R is a rectangular pad with a size of 2.5mm x 1.5mm, with a 0.5mm clearance around the pad to ensure proper soldering and to prevent electrical shorts.
• Can I use the HC1-2R3-R in a high-temperature environment?
  The HC1-2R3-R is rated for operation up to 125°C, but it's recommended to derate the current rating by 1.5% per degree Celsius above 80°C to ensure reliable operation. Consult the Coiltronics application note for more information on high-temperature operation.
• How do I handle the HC1-2R3-R during PCB assembly to prevent damage?
  Handle the HC1-2R3-R by the body, avoiding touching the leads or the core. Use a vacuum pickup or tweezers to place the component on the PCB. Avoid bending or flexing the leads, and ensure the component is properly seated on the PCB before soldering.
• What is the self-resonant frequency of the HC1-2R3-R?
  The self-resonant frequency of the HC1-2R3-R is approximately 150 MHz, but this can vary depending on the specific application and PCB layout. It's recommended to consult the Coiltronics application note or perform simulations to determine the self-resonant frequency in your specific design.
• Can I use the HC1-2R3-R in a high-current switching application?
  The HC1-2R3-R is designed for high-frequency switching applications, but it's essential to ensure the component is properly sized for the expected current and voltage ratings. Consult the Coiltronics application note and perform thermal and electrical simulations to ensure the component can handle the expected stresses.
