SRP7028C-100M - Bourns

SRP7028C-100M Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of the SRP7028C-100M?
  Bourns recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with a solid ground plane, and keeping the input and output traces as short as possible to minimize inductance and radiation. A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated ground plane is recommended for high-frequency applications.
• How do I ensure the reliability of the SRP7028C-100M in high-temperature applications?
  To ensure reliability in high-temperature applications, it is recommended to derate the current rating of the inductor according to the temperature derating curve provided in the datasheet. Additionally, ensure that the inductor is properly soldered and that the PCB is designed to handle the thermal stresses.
• Can I use the SRP7028C-100M in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the SRP7028C-100M is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10g peak acceleration. However, it is recommended to follow proper mounting and soldering techniques to ensure the inductor's reliability in high-vibration environments.
• How do I measure the inductance of the SRP7028C-100M?
  The inductance of the SRP7028C-100M can be measured using an impedance analyzer or an LCR meter. It is recommended to measure the inductance at the desired frequency and with the inductor in the same orientation as it will be used in the application.
• Is the SRP7028C-100M compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
  Yes, the SRP7028C-100M is compatible with lead-free soldering processes. The inductor's termination is made of a lead-free material that meets the requirements of the RoHS directive.
