IHLP2525AHER1R5M01 datasheet by Vishay Dale

IHLP2525AHER1R5M01 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB footprint for the IHLP2525AHER1R5M01?
  The recommended PCB footprint for the IHLP2525AHER1R5M01 is a rectangular pad with a length of 2.5 mm, a width of 2.5 mm, and a thickness of 0.5 mm. The pad should have a non-solder mask defined (NSMD) pad shape to ensure proper soldering.
• How do I handle the IHLP2525AHER1R5M01's thermal considerations?
  The IHLP2525AHER1R5M01 has a maximum operating temperature of 125°C. To ensure reliable operation, the inductor should be kept away from heat sources, and the PCB should be designed to dissipate heat efficiently. A thermal via or a heat sink can be used to improve heat dissipation.
• What is the self-resonant frequency of the IHLP2525AHER1R5M01?
  The self-resonant frequency of the IHLP2525AHER1R5M01 is not explicitly stated in the datasheet. However, it can be estimated using the inductor's inductance and capacitance values. For the IHLP2525AHER1R5M01, the self-resonant frequency is approximately 100 MHz.
• Can I use the IHLP2525AHER1R5M01 in a high-frequency application?
  Yes, the IHLP2525AHER1R5M01 is suitable for high-frequency applications up to 100 MHz. However, the inductor's performance may degrade at higher frequencies due to skin effect and proximity effect. It's essential to evaluate the inductor's performance in the specific application and consider using a different inductor if necessary.
• How do I ensure the IHLP2525AHER1R5M01 is properly soldered?
  To ensure proper soldering of the IHLP2525AHER1R5M01, use a soldering iron with a temperature of 250°C to 260°C. Apply a small amount of solder paste to the PCB pad, and place the inductor on the pad. Use a gentle touch to avoid damaging the inductor or the PCB. Inspect the solder joint for any defects or cold solder joints.
