SER1052-402MLC - COILCRAFT

SER1052-402MLC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for SER1052-402MLC?
  Coilcraft recommends a land pattern with a minimum pad size of 1.3 mm x 1.3 mm and a non-solder mask defined (NSMD) pad shape to ensure reliable soldering and minimize thermal resistance.
• Can I use SER1052-402MLC in a high-temperature environment?
  While the SER1052-402MLC is rated for operation up to 125°C, it's essential to consider the derating curves and thermal management strategies to ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments. Consult with Coilcraft's application engineers for specific guidance.
• How do I handle the inductor's sensitivity to mechanical stress?
  To minimize the impact of mechanical stress, ensure that the inductor is handled carefully during assembly and installation. Avoid bending, flexing, or applying excessive force to the component. If you need to attach the inductor to a PCB or other surface, use a suitable adhesive or mounting method that won't compromise the component's integrity.
• What is the recommended storage and handling procedure for SER1052-402MLC?
  Store the SER1052-402MLC in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Handle the components by the body, avoiding touching the leads or core. Use anti-static packaging and follow ESD precautions to prevent damage during storage and handling.
• Can I use SER1052-402MLC in a high-vibration or high-shock environment?
  While the SER1052-402MLC is designed to be robust, it's crucial to evaluate the specific vibration and shock requirements of your application. Coilcraft recommends consulting with their application engineers to determine the suitability of the inductor for your specific use case.
