RLB0913-223K - Bourns

RLB0913-223K Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB land pattern for RLB0913-223K?
  Bourns provides a recommended PCB land pattern in their application note AN204, which can be found on their website. The recommended land pattern ensures proper soldering and thermal management.
• Can I use RLB0913-223K in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, RLB0913-223K is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. Bourns specifies a vibration test per IEC 60068-2-6, which ensures the inductor can operate reliably in applications with high mechanical stress.
• How do I handle the inductor's thermal derating?
  Bourns provides thermal derating information in the datasheet. To ensure reliable operation, the inductor's current rating must be derated based on the ambient temperature. A thermal derating curve is provided in the datasheet to help with this calculation.
• Is RLB0913-223K compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
  Yes, RLB0913-223K is compatible with lead-free soldering processes. Bourns specifies a peak reflow temperature of 260°C, which is compatible with most lead-free soldering processes.
• What is the inductor's self-resonant frequency (SRF)?
  The self-resonant frequency (SRF) of RLB0913-223K is not explicitly stated in the datasheet. However, Bourns provides an impedance vs. frequency curve in the datasheet, which can be used to estimate the SRF. Alternatively, contact Bourns' technical support for more information.
