Bourns provides a recommended PCB layout and land pattern in their application notes and design guides. It's essential to follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance, low thermal resistance, and minimal electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Bourns recommends following the JEDEC J-STD-020 standard for soldering temperature and profile. The recommended peak temperature is 260°C, with a maximum time above 217°C of 30 seconds. It's crucial to follow these guidelines to prevent damage to the component.
The TC42X-2-102E has a maximum allowable voltage derating of 80% of the rated voltage. This means that if the component is rated for 100V, the maximum allowable voltage derating would be 80V. Exceeding this limit may compromise the component's reliability and lifespan.
Bourns recommends handling the component by the body, avoiding touching the leads or electrical contacts. Store the component in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid bending or flexing the leads, and use anti-static packaging and handling procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
The TC42X-2-102E has a thermal resistance of 10°C/W. To ensure optimal thermal management, it's essential to provide adequate heat sinking, such as a thermal pad or heat sink, and ensure good airflow around the component. This will help prevent overheating and ensure reliable operation.
