MD-1000-E datasheet by Triad Magnetics

MD-1000-E Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  Triad Magnetics recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with the transformer centered on the board, and the primary and secondary windings on opposite sides of the board to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Can I use the MD-1000-E in a high-temperature environment?
  While the MD-1000-E is rated for operation up to 130°C, Triad Magnetics recommends derating the transformer's power handling by 1.5% per degree above 100°C to ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments.
• How do I ensure proper creepage and clearance distances around the transformer?
  Triad Magnetics recommends maintaining a minimum creepage distance of 3.2 mm and a minimum clearance distance of 2.5 mm around the transformer to ensure safe and reliable operation.
• Can I use the MD-1000-E in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the MD-1000-E is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10 G peak acceleration, but Triad Magnetics recommends securing the transformer to the PCB or chassis to prevent mechanical stress and ensuring that the transformer's leads are properly secured to prevent fatigue.
• What is the recommended wire gauge for the primary and secondary windings?
  Triad Magnetics recommends using a minimum wire gauge of 20 AWG for the primary winding and 22 AWG for the secondary winding to ensure reliable operation and minimize power losses.
