The recommended PCB footprint for IHLP3232CZER5R6M01 is a rectangular pad with dimensions of 3.2mm x 2.8mm, with a 1.1mm x 1.1mm thermal pad in the center. The pad should have a solder mask defined (SMD) and a non-solder mask defined (NSMD) thermal pad.
To ensure proper thermal management, it is recommended to provide a thermal path from the inductor to a heat sink or a large copper area on the PCB. The thermal pad of the inductor should be connected to the heat sink or copper area using a thermal interface material (TIM) with a thermal conductivity of at least 1 W/m-K.
The maximum operating temperature range for IHLP3232CZER5R6M01 is -40°C to +125°C. However, the inductor's performance may degrade at higher temperatures, and the maximum current rating may need to be derated accordingly.
Yes, IHLP3232CZER5R6M01 is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. However, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for vibration testing and to ensure that the inductor is properly secured to the PCB to prevent mechanical stress.
To select the correct inductor value, you need to consider the operating frequency, current rating, and inductance value required for your application. You can use Vishay's online inductor selection tool or consult with a Vishay application engineer to determine the best inductor value for your specific application.
