Molded Inductor Test Procedure

The new testing procedure from Würth Elektronik, Waldenburg, Germany, defines the maximum operating voltage, Vop, in its data sheets. This represents the voltage at which an inductor can be operated continuously in the application without impairing performance, risking damage, or overheating. The operating voltage is therefore a limit value for the input voltage, up to which the inductor can be used reliably in an application, without irreversible damage.
