PQ2614BLA-100K - Bourns

PQ2614BLA-100K Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  Bourns recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with a solid ground plane, and keeping the input and output traces as short as possible to minimize parasitic inductance and capacitance.
• How do I ensure the inductor is properly soldered to the PCB?
  Use a soldering iron with a temperature of 250°C to 260°C, and apply a small amount of solder to the pads. Ensure the inductor is centered and evenly spaced on the pads to prevent mechanical stress.
• What is the maximum allowable voltage across the inductor?
  The maximum allowable voltage across the PQ2614BLA-100K is 150% of the rated voltage (100 kHz) for a maximum of 100 ms, and 120% of the rated voltage for continuous operation.
• How does the inductor behave in high-temperature environments?
  The PQ2614BLA-100K is rated for operation up to 125°C, but the inductance value may decrease by up to 20% at high temperatures. Ensure proper derating and thermal management to prevent overheating.
• Can I use this inductor in a high-frequency switching application?
  Yes, the PQ2614BLA-100K is suitable for high-frequency switching applications up to 1 MHz, but be aware of the potential for core losses and ensure proper design considerations for EMI and thermal management.
