DANSK DSF/PREN IEC 62024-2 PDF

This part of IEC 62024 specifies the measuring methods of the rated direct current limits for small inductors as defined below. Standardized measuring methods for the determination of ratings enable users to accurately compare the current ratings given in various manufacturers’ data books. This document is applicable to leaded and surface mount inductors with dimensions according to IEC 62025-1 and generally with rated current less than 125 A, although inductors with rated current greater than 125 A are available that fall within the dimension restrictions of this document (no larger than a 625 mm2 footprint). These inductors are typically used in DC-to-DC converters built on PCBs, for electronic and telecommunication equipment, and small size switching power supply units. The measuring methods are defined by the saturation and temperature rise limitations induced solely by direct current.
