IHLP2020BZER5R6M01 datasheet by Vishay Dale

IHLP2020BZER5R6M01 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB footprint for the IHLP2020BZER5R6M01?
  The recommended PCB footprint for the IHLP2020BZER5R6M01 is a rectangular pad with a length of 2.5 mm, a width of 2.0 mm, and a thickness of 0.5 mm. The pad should have a non-solder mask defined (NSMD) pad shape to ensure proper soldering.
• How do I handle the inductor's thermal derating?
  The IHLP2020BZER5R6M01 has a maximum operating temperature of 125°C. To handle thermal derating, ensure that the inductor is operated within the recommended temperature range, and consider using a heat sink or thermal interface material to reduce the temperature rise.
• What is the self-resonant frequency (SRF) of the IHLP2020BZER5R6M01?
  The self-resonant frequency (SRF) of the IHLP2020BZER5R6M01 is not explicitly stated in the datasheet, but it can be estimated using the inductor's inductance and capacitance values. Typically, the SRF is around 100-200 MHz for this inductor.
• Can I use the IHLP2020BZER5R6M01 in a high-frequency application?
  Yes, the IHLP2020BZER5R6M01 is suitable for high-frequency applications up to several hundred MHz. However, it's essential to consider the inductor's impedance, core losses, and self-resonant frequency when designing the circuit.
• How do I ensure the inductor's reliability and prevent failure?
  To ensure the reliability of the IHLP2020BZER5R6M01, follow proper storage and handling procedures, avoid exceeding the maximum ratings, and ensure proper soldering and PCB design. Additionally, consider using a fuse or overcurrent protection to prevent excessive current and voltage stress.
