Arrays, Signal Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RC' against official Bourns documentation to confirm RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure the requested quantity matches standard reel sizes to avoid partial reel handling issues. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor databases to validate authenticity and current production status before finalizing procurement orders.

Arrays, Signal Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-inductor functionality is required in a compact surface-mount footprint. Consider the 15 µH inductance value and 1.10 A parallel current rating for power management applications. Evaluate the 44 mΩ parallel DC resistance for efficiency requirements. Confirm that the non-shielded construction aligns with electromagnetic interference constraints in the target design.

Arrays, Signal Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the PM3604 series of inductor arrays from Bourns Inc. The series offers various inductance values, including 20 µH and 200 µH variants, all sharing similar physical dimensions and mounting characteristics. These parts are designed for general-purpose electronic applications requiring reliable inductive components in space-constrained designs.

Arrays, Signal Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other PM3604 series variants such as PM3604-20-RC or PM3604-200-RC if different inductance values are acceptable. Verify pin compatibility and thermal performance when considering cross-brand alternatives.
