From TE Connectivity - Circuit Protection

Good hand soldering techniques are important even in today's world of surface-mount, auto-placed components. Often prototypes and rework require hand-soldering skills which are becoming more of a rarity on the production line. The DX/DZ series inductor solder pad recommendation, designed for SMD solder reflow practices, poses a special challenge for hand soldering/desoldering.

Soldering techniques vary greatly depending on the terminal size, terminal style, thermal mass of the component, solder type and pad size. This document focuses on soldering CoEv Magnetics DX/DZ Series inductors.

Circuit Protection Devices
Circuit protection devices are used to protect electronic components from unwanted transients such as current and voltage surges, electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning, spikes and other signals that can imperil the operation or damage the component.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Suppressors
ESD suppressors are semiconductors that protect electronic components and systems from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Dataline and DC Signal Surge Suppressors
Dataline and DC signal surge suppressors protect equipment from transient overvoltages present on data or DC signal lines.
Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs)
Metal oxide varistors (MOV) are semiconductors that protect electronic components and systems from transient voltages.
