TEST METHODS
ITEM STANDARD TEST METHOD
DC SUPERPOSITION
CHARACTERISTICS
∆L/L Within -10%
When the allowable current was applied, the inductance was
measured with a YHP 4262A and compared with the initial
value.
TEMPERATURE
RISE
Within 20°C
When the allowable current was applied, the amount of
temperature rise was measured by the change in resistance.
TEMPERATURE
RISE
∆L/L Within ± 5%
Measurements were taken in a temperature range of -25°C to
85°C and the value at +20°C was used as the standard value.
OVERCURRENT
TEST
No smoke and no fire
Twice the allowable current was applied for a period of five
minutes.
SOLDERING HEAT
RESISTANCE TEST
No pronounced abnormality
in appearance
Immersion twice for a period of 5 ± 0.5 seconds in H63A
solder at a temperature 260°C ± 5°C
SOLDERABILITY Not less than 90% bonding to
electrode surfaces
Immersion for a period of 2 ± 0.5 seconds in H63A solder at a
temperature of 230 ± 5°C. Flux used was a rosin-core solution
containing approximately 25% methanol.
INSULATION
RESISTANCE
Not less than 1000 M
0.3mm diameter copper wires were wound around the coils
three times and measurements were taken after 250VDC was
applied between the wire and the terminals for a period of 1
minute.
TENSILE
STRENGTH TEST
No separation from substrate
After the inductors were soldered to substrates, a force of
1.0kg was applied in both the x and y directions for a period
of 5 seconds.
STRESS TEST No breakage After the inductors were mounted on substrates, 1-mins. 10-
55-10 cycle per seconds sweeps 1.5mm stroke vibrations were
applied for 2 hrs. each in the X, Y and Z directions
DROP TEST
No pronounced abnormality in appearance
The inductors were dropped 10 times from a height of 1.0
metre onto a concrete floor.
VIBRATION TEST ∆L/L Within ± 10%
Q Not less than 30
After the inductors were mounted on substrates, 1-mins. 10-
55-10 cycle per seconds sweeps 1.5mm stroke vibrations were
applied for 2 hours each in the X, Y and Z directions
HUMIDITY RESISTANCE
LOAD TEST
∆L/L Within ± 10%
Q Not less than 30 Measurements were taken after the allowable current was
applied while the inductors were stored at 60°C ± 2°C in 90 to
95% RH for a period of 500 hours.
LOW TEMPERATURE
RESISTANCE TEST
∆L/L Within ± 10%
Q Not less than 30 Measurements were taken after the inductors were stored at -
40°C ± 2°C for period 1000 hours
TEMPERATURE
CYCLE TEST
∆L/L Within ± 10%
Q Not less than 30 Measurements were taken after the inductors were stored for
30 minutes, during which they were subjected to 20
temperature cycles of between -25°C and +85°C.
HIGH TEMPERATURE
RESISTANCE
LOAD TEST
∆L/L Within ± 10%
Q Not less than 30 Measurements were taken after the allowable was applied
while the inductors were stored at 85°C for a period of 1000
hours.
