Notes from Tables

1. Temperature

of

the

component

(ambient

plus

temperature rise) must be within specified operating

temperature range.

2. The rated current as listed is either the saturation current

or the heating current depending on which value is lower.

3. The saturation current is the current which causes

the inductance to drop to 75% of its initial inductance at

zero bias. This current is determined by placing the

component at room ambient (25°C), and applying a short

duration pulse current (to eliminate self-heating effects) to

the component.

4. The heating current is the DC current, which

causes the temperature of the part to increase by

approximately 40°C. This current is determined by extend-

ing the terminals of the component with 30mm length 28

gauge buss wires and applying the current to the device

for 30 minutes. The temperature is measured by placing

the thermocouple between the winding and the shield.

5. In high volt*time applications, additional heating in the

component can occur due to core losses in the inductor

which may necessitate derating the current in order to limit

the temperature rise of the component. In order to deter-

mine the approximate total loss (or temperature rise) for a

given application, both copper losses and core losses

should be taken into account.
