PCV-0-472-20L - COILCRAFT

PCV-0-472-20L Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for PCV-0-472-20L?
  Coilcraft recommends a land pattern with a pad size of 2.5 mm x 1.5 mm, with a non-solder mask defined (NSMD) pad and a minimum clearance of 0.5 mm around the pad.
• Can I use PCV-0-472-20L in a high-temperature environment?
  While the PCV-0-472-20L is rated for operation up to 125°C, it's recommended to derate the inductor's current rating by 1.5% for every degree above 80°C to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I handle the inductor's magnetic field in my design?
  To minimize the impact of the inductor's magnetic field, keep the inductor at least 5 mm away from sensitive components, and consider using a shield or a magnetic shield can to contain the field.
• What is the PCV-0-472-20L's self-resonant frequency?
  The self-resonant frequency of the PCV-0-472-20L is typically around 100 MHz, but this can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• Can I use PCV-0-472-20L in a high-vibration environment?
  While the PCV-0-472-20L is designed to withstand normal vibration, it's recommended to secure the inductor using a suitable adhesive or mechanical fastening to prevent movement and ensure reliable operation in high-vibration environments.
