Arrays, Signal Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PM3602-15-RC to confirm exact electrical tolerances and thermal characteristics before integration. Ensure that the PCB footprint matches the specified 11.48 mm x 11.48 mm dimensions and 5.72 mm height. Cross-reference the manufacturer's official documentation for any updates regarding material composition or RoHS compliance status to guarantee regulatory adherence.

Arrays, Signal Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a coupled inductor with 15 µH parallel inductance is required for space-constrained designs. The dual-coil structure supports both series and parallel configurations, offering design flexibility. Consider the 125 °C maximum operating temperature for high-thermal applications. Verify that the 250 mΩ maximum DC resistance aligns with the efficiency requirements of the target power circuit.

Arrays, Signal Transformers Part Context

This part belongs to the Bourns PM3602 series of coupled inductors. The series provides various inductance values and package options for different power management needs. The PM3602-15-RC specifically addresses applications requiring moderate inductance with a compact surface-mount form factor, fitting within the broader category of signal transformers and inductor arrays.

Arrays, Signal Transformers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as the PM3602-10-RC or PM3602-25-RC if different inductance values are acceptable. Ensure any replacement maintains the same 11.48 mm x 11.48 mm footprint and 5.72 mm height to avoid PCB redesign. Verify that the thermal and electrical specifications of alternative parts meet or exceed the original requirements.
