IEC 62024-2:2008 High frequency inductive components - Electrical characteristics and measuring methods - Part 2: Rated current of inductors for DC to DC converter
This part of IEC 62024 specifies the measuring methods of the rated direct current limits for
small inductors.
Standardized measuring methods for the determination of ratings enable users to accurately
compare the current ratings given in various manufacturers' data books.
This standard is applicable to leaded and surface mount inductors with dimensions according
to IEC 62025-1 and generally with rated current less than 22 A, although inductors with rated
current greater than 22 A are available that fall within the dimension restrictions of this
standard (no larger than 12 mm x 12 mm footprint approximately). These inductors are
typically used in DC to DC converters built on PCB, for electric 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.
