API Delevan recommends a PCB layout with a solid ground plane and a thermal pad connected to a heat sink or a thermal management system to ensure optimal thermal performance. A minimum of 2 oz copper thickness is recommended for the PCB.
API Delevan recommends using a soldering iron with a temperature of 250°C to 260°C and a solder with a melting point of 180°C to 190°C. The inductor should be soldered to the PCB within 3 seconds to 5 seconds to prevent overheating.
The PT150-1250-VM can withstand a maximum voltage stress of 1500 Vrms for 1 minute, as per the IEC 62368-1 standard. However, it's recommended to derate the voltage stress to 1200 Vrms for continuous operation.
The PT150-1250-VM is designed for high-frequency applications up to 1 MHz. However, the inductor's performance may degrade at frequencies above 500 kHz due to skin effect and proximity effect. API Delevan recommends consulting with their application engineers for custom designs and optimization.
The SRF of the PT150-1250-VM is approximately 2.5 MHz, which may affect the inductor's performance in high-frequency applications. API Delevan recommends using the inductor below its SRF for optimal performance.
