PWB-1-BLB - COILCRAFT

PWB-1-BLB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for PWB-1-BLB?
  Coilcraft recommends a land pattern with a pad size of 1.3 mm x 1.3 mm and a spacing of 0.5 mm between pads. The recommended land pattern is available on Coilcraft's website.
• Can I use PWB-1-BLB in a high-temperature application?
  PWB-1-BLB is rated for operation up to 125°C. However, it's recommended to derate the current rating by 1.5% per degree above 80°C. For high-temperature applications, consider using Coilcraft's high-temperature inductors, such as the PWB-H series.
• How do I handle the PWB-1-BLB during assembly to prevent damage?
  Handle the PWB-1-BLB by the body, avoiding touching the leads or the core. Use a vacuum pickup or tweezers to handle the component. Avoid bending or flexing the leads, as this can cause damage to the internal wires.
• What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of PWB-1-BLB?
  The MSL of PWB-1-BLB is 1, which means it can be exposed to a maximum of 30°C/85% RH for 168 hours. Follow standard moisture-sensitive device handling procedures to prevent damage.
• Can I use PWB-1-BLB in a high-vibration application?
  PWB-1-BLB is designed to withstand moderate vibration. However, for high-vibration applications, consider using Coilcraft's vibration-rated inductors, such as the PWB-V series, which are designed to meet the requirements of IEC 60068-2-6.
