The recommended PCB land pattern for the 4426R-5 can be found in the API Delevan application note AN-113, which provides detailed guidelines for PCB layout and footprint design.
While the datasheet specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, API Delevan recommends derating the inductor's current rating by 1.5% per degree Celsius above 80°C to ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments.
Yes, the 4426R-5 is suitable for high-frequency applications up to 1 GHz. However, it's essential to consider the inductor's self-resonant frequency (SRF) and ensure that the operating frequency is below the SRF to avoid unwanted resonances.
API Delevan recommends storing the 4426R-5 in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Handling should be done with electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions, such as using ESD-safe gloves and wrist straps, to prevent damage to the component.
Yes, the 4426R-5 is compatible with lead-free soldering processes, including RoHS and WEEE compliant soldering. However, it's essential to follow the recommended soldering profile and temperature guidelines to ensure reliable assembly.
