105-271K datasheet by API Delevan

105-271K Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  API Delevan recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with a solid ground plane underneath the inductor to minimize radiation and ensure optimal performance.
• How does the inductor behave under high-frequency switching?
  The 105-271K is designed to handle high-frequency switching up to 1 MHz, but it's essential to consider the skin effect and proximity effect to minimize losses and ensure reliable operation.
• What is the maximum allowable voltage across the inductor?
  Although the datasheet doesn't specify a maximum voltage, API Delevan recommends limiting the voltage across the inductor to 50% of the rated voltage to ensure reliable operation and prevent damage.
• Can I use this inductor in a high-temperature environment?
  The 105-271K is rated for operation up to 125°C, but derating is required for temperatures above 85°C. Consult the datasheet for derating curves and ensure the inductor is suitable for your specific application.
• How do I ensure the inductor is properly soldered to the PCB?
  API Delevan recommends using a soldering iron with a temperature of 250°C to 270°C and a solder with a melting point above 180°C. Ensure the inductor is properly aligned and the solder fillet is smooth and even.
