MOS6020-104MLC - COILCRAFT

MOS6020-104MLC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB land pattern for the MOS6020-104MLC?
  Coilcraft provides a recommended PCB land pattern in their documentation, which includes a pad layout and dimensions for optimal soldering and thermal performance.
• How do I handle the inductor's thermal derating in high-temperature applications?
  Coilcraft provides thermal derating curves in their documentation, which show the inductor's current rating reduction as a function of temperature. Engineers should consult these curves to ensure the inductor operates within its rated current and temperature range.
• What is the inductor's self-resonant frequency (SRF) and how does it affect my design?
  The SRF of the MOS6020-104MLC is typically above 100 MHz. Engineers should ensure that their design does not operate near the SRF, as it can cause unwanted resonances and affect the inductor's performance.
• Can I use the MOS6020-104MLC in a high-vibration or high-shock environment?
  Coilcraft's MOS6020-104MLC is designed to meet the vibration and shock requirements of various industry standards, such as IEC 60068-2-6 and IEC 60068-2-27. However, engineers should consult Coilcraft's documentation and perform their own testing to ensure the inductor meets their specific application requirements.
• How do I ensure the inductor's magnetic field does not interfere with nearby components?
  Engineers should consider the inductor's magnetic field and take steps to minimize its impact on nearby components, such as using shielding, orienting the inductor to minimize field strength, and keeping sensitive components at a safe distance.
