LQW18AS24NG00D - Murata Electronics

LQW18AS24NG00D Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for the LQW18AS24NG00D?
  The recommended land pattern for the LQW18AS24NG00D is a rectangular pad with dimensions of 1.8mm x 1.2mm, with a non-solder mask defined (NSMD) pad shape. The pad should be centered on the component and have a minimum clearance of 0.2mm from the component body.
• How do I handle the LQW18AS24NG00D's sensitivity to PCB layout and routing?
  To minimize the impact of PCB layout and routing on the LQW18AS24NG00D's performance, keep the following guidelines in mind: keep the inductor away from high-current carrying traces, avoid routing high-frequency signals near the inductor, and use a solid ground plane under the inductor to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LQW18AS24NG00D?
  The maximum operating temperature range for the LQW18AS24NG00D is -40°C to +125°C. However, the inductor's characteristics may degrade at temperatures above 85°C, so it's recommended to operate within the -40°C to +85°C range for optimal performance.
• Can I use the LQW18AS24NG00D in a high-vibration environment?
  The LQW18AS24NG00D is designed to withstand moderate vibration levels, but it's not suitable for extreme vibration environments. If your application requires high vibration resistance, consider using a more robust inductor or taking additional mechanical design precautions.
• How do I ensure the LQW18AS24NG00D is properly soldered to the PCB?
  To ensure proper soldering, follow these guidelines: use a soldering iron with a temperature range of 250°C to 300°C, apply a small amount of solder paste to the pad, and use a reflow oven with a peak temperature of 240°C to 250°C. Avoid using excessive solder or applying excessive force, which can damage the component.
