PCB coil

Dheeraj Jain

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have few questions regarding PCB coil for this design.  

- What are the electrical specs (inductance, rated current, saturation current, Q) for this PCB coil?

- What are LxBxH for this PCB coil?

- Is there any particular reason to go for PCB based Inductor inplace of standalone coil? As per my understanding, the non PCB solution will have higher Q which means higher efficiency/higher performance.

- Any plan to look into this non PCB coil solution?

Thank you.

Regards,

DJ

    Hello DJ,

    I'm sorry, what PCB coil are you referring to?

    PCB coils are usually cheaper than wound inductor.

    We have no plans of supporting wound inductors because they come in all sizes and shapes. We cannot cover every single possible configuration.

    Hi Evgeny,

     

    Thank you for you reply. The PCB coil, I am referring to is the round PCB inductor coil connected in parallel to C_tank capacitor to make LC tank circuit.

    As per my undestanding the non PCB solution in similar form factor will have Q which means higher performance and efficiency.It will be good to know the electrical characterstics (Inductance, size, rated current, saturation current and Q) of this coil. It will be apprecited if if you please help to share this info.

    Regards,

    DJ

    Hello DJ,

    It is impossible to tell coil electrical parameters, until we have a coil design, i.e. its diameter, # of layers, # of turns etc.

    Coil design is dictated by the application: requirements for the accuracy/precision and geometrical constrains.

    What problem are you trying to solve?
