PM3604-100-B-RC

Arrays, Signal Transformers Overview

The PM3604-100-B-RC is an unshielded surface-mount inductor array manufactured by Bourns Inc. It features two coils with a nominal inductance of 100 µH per coil. When connected in parallel, the total inductance is 100 µH with a maximum DC resistance of 210 mΩ and a rated current of 980 mA. In series configuration, the inductance rises to 400 µH, the maximum DC resistance increases to 840 mΩ, and the rated current drops to 490 mA. The component has a ±20% tolerance and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.
