    Inductor naming convention

    Coilcraft typically uses the following convention, similar to resistor marking, but the basis units are nH: xyz - where x = first digit, y = second digit, z = multiplier (units nH) For example: 220 is 22 x 10^0 = 22 nH 470 is 47 x 10^0 = 47 nH 103 is 10 x 10^3 = 10,000 nH = 10 uH Some other...

    Is my buckboost inductor running too hot?

    Hi, A 64°C temp rise is too much if you intend to operate at the maximum ambient temperature for the LPS6235 series (85°C). The datasheet shows a current derating curve from which it is evident the max. part temperature is 125°C. If you ambient does not exceed ~60°C it will be ok. For the...

    DCM Boost LED driver....inductor will overheat due to core loss?

    Hi - You are correct to be concerned with core loss. Any losses will contribute to temperature rise. The warning message on the Coilcraft Inductor Core & Winding Loss Calculator is just there to let you know that the estimate of losses and temperature rise may be off (likely too low) if the...

    seeking sepic inductor

    Hello, Coilcraft offers coupled inductors in sizes 7.5 x 7.5 x 4.6 mm and 12.3 x 12.3 x 6.2 (and by 8.05) mm as well as others at this link: Not aware of a 10mm package.

    Flyback transformer modifying output for off the shelf part

    Re: Flyback transformer modifying output for off the shelf p The 4.2Arms rating is based on temperature rise, so if you exceed it you may get a hot part (could affect the performance and life). :cry: If you ambient temperature is low (well below 85°C) it may be OK. If you ask Coilcraft for...
