S1812R-101K - API Delevan

S1812R-101K Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for the S1812R-101K?
  The recommended land pattern for the S1812R-101K is a rectangular pad with a size of 1.8 mm x 1.2 mm, with a non-solder mask defined (NSMD) pad shape.
• How do I handle the inductor's thermal considerations?
  The S1812R-101K has a maximum operating temperature of 125°C. Ensure good airflow around the inductor, and consider using a heat sink or thermal interface material if operating in high-temperature environments.
• What is the inductor's self-resonant frequency (SRF)?
  The SRF of the S1812R-101K is approximately 150 MHz. This is the frequency at which the inductor's impedance peaks, and it's essential to consider this when designing filters or impedance-matching networks.
• Can I use the S1812R-101K in a high-reliability or aerospace application?
  While the S1812R-101K is a high-quality inductor, it may not meet the specific requirements of high-reliability or aerospace applications. Consult with API Delevan or a qualified engineer to determine the inductor's suitability for such applications.
• How do I ensure the inductor's magnetic field does not interfere with nearby components?
  Keep the S1812R-101K at least 5 mm away from sensitive components, and consider using shielding or mu-metal to contain the magnetic field. You can also use simulation tools to model the inductor's magnetic field and optimize the layout accordingly.
