SRN3012BTA-100M - Bourns

SRN3012BTA-100M 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. A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated power plane is also recommended.
• How do I ensure the inductor is properly soldered to the PCB?
  Bourns recommends using a soldering iron with a temperature of 250°C to 260°C, and applying a small amount of solder paste to the pads. The inductor should be placed on the PCB with the terminals aligned with the pads, and then soldered using a gentle touch to avoid applying excessive force.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for this inductor?
  The SRN3012BTA-100M has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, with a derating of 1.25% per °C above 80°C.
• Can I use this inductor in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the SRN3012BTA-100M is designed to withstand high-vibration environments, with a vibration rating of 10-2000 Hz, 10 G peak acceleration, and a shock rating of 100 G, 11 ms duration.
• How do I handle ESD protection when handling the inductor?
  Bourns recommends handling the inductor with ESD-protective equipment, such as wrist straps, mats, and bags, to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge. The inductor should also be stored in its original packaging or an ESD-protective container when not in use.
