Frequently Asked Questions
What inductance value and current rating does the PA4338.104NLT provide for DC-DC converter designs?
The PA4338.104NLT is a fixed SMT inductor rated at 100 µH inductance with a 1 A maximum DC current and 20% tolerance. This makes it suitable for output filter stages in low-current buck or boost DC-DC converters where moderate inductance and compact SMT packaging are required.
How does the 4.2 mm height of PA4338.104NLT affect PCB layout in space-constrained applications?
At 4.2 mm total height, the PA4338.104NLT fits within typical SMT component height clearances found in portable electronics and compact industrial power boards. Designers targeting low-profile assemblies under 5 mm height should verify that 4.2 mm clears any heatsink, cover, or mating board above the PCB surface.
For EMI filter networks requiring 100 µH inductance, when is PA4338.104NLT preferable to a wire-wound through-hole inductor?
The PA4338.104NLT SMT package eliminates lead-forming and manual insertion steps required for through-hole inductors, making it the preferred choice in automated reflow assembly lines. Its 100 µH value at 1 A suits EMI filter networks on low-current power input stages where component height is limited to approximately 4.2 mm.
What should procurement teams check when sourcing PA4338.104NLT for a production program?
Procurement teams should verify RoHS lead-free compliance, stock availability, and lead time for the PA4338.104NLT from Pulse or authorized distributors. For this 100 µH, 1 A, 4.2 mm height SMT inductor, confirming minimum order quantity and checking for equivalent alternatives ensures supply chain continuity during production ramp-up.
