SRR0908-470ML - Bourns

SRR0908-470ML Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for the SRR0908-470ML?
  The recommended land pattern for the SRR0908-470ML can be found in the Bourns Application Note SRR-AN-001, which provides detailed information on land pattern design and layout considerations.
• How do I handle the high current rating of the SRR0908-470ML in my PCB design?
  To handle the high current rating of the SRR0908-470ML, it is recommended to use a thick copper trace (at least 2 oz) and to ensure that the PCB has adequate thermal management, such as thermal vias and heat sinks, to dissipate the heat generated by the inductor.
• Can I use the SRR0908-470ML in a high-temperature environment?
  The SRR0908-470ML has a maximum operating temperature of 125°C, but it is recommended to derate the current rating of the inductor at higher temperatures to ensure reliable operation. Consult the datasheet for derating curves and guidelines.
• How do I select the correct inductor value for my application?
  To select the correct inductor value, consider the operating frequency, current requirements, and voltage ripple of your application. Use an inductor selection tool or consult with a Bourns application engineer to determine the optimal inductor value for your specific design.
• Is the SRR0908-470ML compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
  Yes, the SRR0908-470ML is compatible with lead-free soldering processes and meets the requirements of the RoHS directive.
