 Topic: Wirebound inductorPosted: 03 Mar 2021 at 5:55am |

Hi to all:
I am trying to create a footprint of a wirebound inductor, Murata LQW18AN5N6G80D. I configured my component as an SMD/Chip/Inductor and as the metalization of the pin part is not the height of the component, I configured the height of the part as the height of the metalization.  How do you resolve that kind of components? Thanks for your comments. dramos |

These Inductors are becoming more popular these days. There should be a mfr. recommended pattern for the footprint. If not, the pad size is:
Heel = 0.00 but you need to compensate for the +/- body length tolerance of 0.10 Side = 50% of the metal thickness height up the side (Maximum) Toe = 100% of the metal thickness height up the side (Maximum) So the pad size for this part is 0.56 L X 1.20 W. Add 0.05 for the Heel to compensate for the tolerance. Here's a SolidWorks 3D model:  |

Hi Tom:
Yes you are right . We are using more and more this kind of components in our designs. Many thanks for your recommendations. Regards. David

I actually just did a footprint for one of these types of inductors.
Coilcraft seems to have pretty good guidelines for footprints in their datasheets. Here's an example: https://www.coilcraft.com/en-us/products/rf/ferrite-core-chip-inductors/0603-(1608)/0603ls/ |

Continue to use the mfr. recommended pattern for this new package style and new terminal lead form.
Automating a software program to calculate the pad stack would need to identify a new terminal lead form and then the solder joint goal table for a 3-Tier density level. It's too late to put it in IPC-7351C and it's not in IPC-J-STD-001 yet for assembly solder joint acceptability. |

You must use the Manufacturer's Recommended Pattern.

Hi all, I'm trying to create footprint for an inductor like on the next picture: 
What would be the best type to use for this inductor (Chip Inductor or DFN 2 pins Inductor). I'm asking this because I want to have IPC name for this footprint and when I create footprint with both types I got different name. So what would be the best solution for this. It's Murata LQH44PN150MPRL |

This Murata LQH44PN150MPRL have a trapezoid pad shape.
It cannot be created in Footprint Expert, but we can build it in a CAD tool and export/import the ASCII file into FPX format.  |
