UP2B-100-R - COILTRONICS

UP2B-100-R Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout and land pattern for optimal performance?
  Coiltronics recommends a PCB layout with a solid ground plane underneath the inductor, and a land pattern with a minimum of 1.5 mm clearance around the component to minimize parasitic capacitance and ensure proper heat dissipation.
• How does the inductor perform in high-temperature environments?
  The UP2B-100-R is rated for operation up to 125°C, but derating is recommended above 85°C to ensure reliability. Coiltronics provides a temperature derating curve in their application notes, which can be used to determine the inductor's performance at elevated temperatures.
• What is the self-resonant frequency (SRF) of the UP2B-100-R?
  The SRF of the UP2B-100-R is typically around 150-200 MHz, but this can vary depending on the specific batch and manufacturing process. Coiltronics recommends consulting their application notes or contacting their technical support for more information.
• Can the UP2B-100-R be used in high-current applications?
  While the UP2B-100-R is rated for 10 A, it's essential to consider the inductor's thermal performance and PCB layout when designing for high-current applications. Coiltronics recommends consulting their thermal derating curves and application notes to ensure the inductor can handle the desired current.
• Are there any specific EMI shielding or filtering recommendations for the UP2B-100-R?
  Coiltronics recommends using a shielded enclosure or a metal can to minimize EMI radiation. Additionally, they suggest using a common-mode choke or a filter network in conjunction with the UP2B-100-R to reduce EMI emissions and improve overall system performance.
