Precautions for Use of Inductors
Inductors in General

 
The characteristics of L/Q values etc. of inductors have the characteristics of frequency dependence. Confirm L/Q values etc. by the frequency for use on the actual machine.
 
In case of resin coating/potting or molded sealing, fully confirm the evaluation of reliability and use those that have small contractile stress at a resin stiffening time because the protection coat of the inductor may be peeled off by the stress at the resin stiffening time, cracks may occur at the solder connection, inductance value may change or disconnection may occur. Take care especially for urethane sealing compounds because they are apt to adsorb humidity and may cause an electric erosion.
 
Pay attention to that the magnetic characteristics of the core and inductance may be changed by the stress of molded sealing.
  Keep the inductors away from magnetic tweezers or magnets because magnetization may change the inductance. For prevention of disconnection, the wire wound portion of the chip inductor should not be touched by sharp things like tweezers etc.

Impressed current

 
Please confirm before use because there is a risk of disconnection (open), when excessive current (inrush current) is flown by the occurrence of the transition phenomenon in the circuit of the electric charge and discharge. Also confirm taking the dispersion of the constants of other components on the actual circuit into the consideration. Inquire of us attaching the circuit diagram and waveform of the current when you are uncertain.

Precautions for Use of Chip Inductors
Soldering

 
Solder by reflowing at a 240 peak 2 times or less. Ask us if 3 times or more are needed.
 
Solder at the shortest possible time if a soldering iron is used.
 
For non-mold type inductors, during and after soldering, take care not to give mechanical stress on the wound wire and flat top film.

TOP


Placement

 
When mounting, do not give an excessive shock or strong force to inductors as it may change electricity and magnetic characteristics of inductors.
 
Some high frequency inductors have polarity in the characteristics of inductors. When mounting, those directions must be arranged.
 
As chip inductors are of open-magnetic constructions, other components, chassis, substrate constructions, patterns, etc. may affect them to change L and Q. When high density mounting is applied, check the characteristic in advance on the actual conditions. Further, take care of positioning components as small spaces between inductors may cause magnetic interference. Do not place big magnetic materials like audio speakers etc. around the inductors.
  Do not give inductors heat radiation from other high temperature parts.

TOP

Washing

 
Ultrasonic washing is based on within 5 minutes at 20W/ or lower. Check it with actual equipment in advance as vibration levels and mode vary with washing equipment.
 
Do not use acid and alkali for cleaning solvents. Consult with us in advance about cleaning solvents made from substitute CFC and water systems as some of them may deteriorate inductor characteristics.
  For ultrasonic cleaning of KL73, use volatile detergents such as isopropyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, etc.

TOP
Ambient for use

 
Do not use inductors in an atmosphere filled with corrosive gas such as chlorine, sulfide, acid, etc.
 
Keep inductors away from all magnets and magnetic objects (magnetic body metal tweezers) and equipment generating magnetic field (audio speakers).


TOP
Storage

 
In bulk storage, take care to avoid chipping core or disconnection caused by rubbing each other.
  Store inductors indoor without drastic temperature changes, away from direct sun rays, high temperature/humidity, magnetic field, vibration, dust, and corrosive gas (sulfide, chlorine, acid) that may deteriorate solderability and taping strength.

TOP
Other precautions

 
After placement, be sure to earth the equipment that measures the circuit with inductors assembled, etc. and to use a wrist band at the operation.

TOP
Quality factor

 
Quality factor is shouing the quality of a coil and asks by the below formula.

Precautions for Use of Leaded Inductors
Soldering

 
Solder at not more than 260degree within 10 sec.
 
During and after soldering, take care not to give mechanical stress on lead wires.
 
When using a soldering iron, do not directly touch the tip of the iron to lead wires to heat.

TOP


Placement (Automatic insertion)

 
Insert the parts at the center of the PWB holes.
 
During insertion, take care not to cause chucking or driving damage on the parts.
 
Do not use inductors that once fall down as electrical and magnetic characteristics of ferrite cores may change when excessive stress or impact is given.
 
Do not have inductors contacted with other components to avoid capacitive coupling, magnetic interference, and magnetic combining with other inductors.
 
Keep away from heat radiation from other high temperature parts.
 
Ensure open space and insulation distance from high-voltage components and power supplies, conforming to applicable safety regulations. Take special care of contacts with lead wires of different potentials.
 
Keep away from a metal board in order to avoid the influence on electrical characteristics.
 
Mount in such a way that inductors do not rise out of the board.
 
When using parts feeders, check beforehand the influence of the magnetic field on core.
 
When bending lead wires during forming, take care to ensure the straight part of the lead and never give excessive mechanical stress on the base of the lead wires.

TOP

Washing

 
Ultrasonic washing should be based on within 5 minutes at 20W/ or lower. An excessive power may generate sympathetic vibration of the board that may cause disconnection and/or terminal strength deterioration.
 
Do not use acid and alkali for cleaning solvents. Consult with us in advance on cleaning agents made from CFC and water-system as some of them may spoil the inductor characteristics.

TOP
Storage

 
Do not pile individual inductors in bulk or mountain-high.
 
Store inductors indoor without drastic temperature changes, away from direct sun rays, high temperature/humidity, magnetic field, vibration, dust, and corrosive gas (sulfide, chlorine, acid) that may deteriorate soldering strength.
