PM3602-150-RC

Arrays, Signal Transformers Overview

The PM3602-150-RC is an unshielded power inductor array manufactured by Bourns Inc. It features a wirewound construction with an iron core, designed for surface mount technology (SMD) applications. The component offers dual inductance configurations: 150 µH when connected in parallel and 600 µH when connected in series. It supports a maximum DC current of 470 mA in parallel mode and 240 mA in series mode, with corresponding DC resistances of 600 mΩ and 2.4 Ω respectively. The device operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Arrays, Signal Transformers Feature Summary

• Dual-coil configuration allowing flexible series or parallel connectivity
• Wirewound design with iron core for stable inductance performance
• Unshielded structure suitable for general power filtering tasks

Arrays, Signal Transformers Applications

• Power supply input filtering
• DC-DC converter circuits
• Signal conditioning networks

Arrays, Signal Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RC against official Bourns documentation to confirm tolerance and packaging details. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest datasheet. Ensure the selected variant matches the required current ratings for your specific circuit topology before ordering.

Arrays, Signal Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when dual inductance values are required from a single footprint. Compare parallel and series current limits against peak load requirements. Verify that the unshielded nature does not interfere with nearby sensitive components due to potential magnetic field emission.

Arrays, Signal Transformers Part Context

This part belongs to the PM3602 series of coupled inductor arrays. These components are distinct from single-channel power inductors like the PM3340 series. The series designation indicates a two-coil arrangement optimized for space-constrained power electronics designs requiring multiple inductive elements.

Arrays, Signal Transformers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the PM3602 family with different inductance values. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics if considering alternative manufacturers' coupled inductor arrays.
