What is the parasitic capacitance between two screw connector terminals on the 691137710002?

I estimate it to be on the order of 5 pF looking at the dimensions and insulator material in the datasheet. C = (3.8ɛo)(7mm ⋅ 11mm) / 0.7mm. If that’s the right order of magnitude, then great! If the capacitance significantly higher than this, I’ll have to settle for removing solder and resoldering everytime I want to switch out the inductor for my unclamped inductive stress test.

Hello allbrand,

Welcome to the DigiKey TechForum.

I have sent a request for our engineers to take a look at this. We will get back to you as soon as we can. If anyone else knows the answer, they can post it here as well.

Greetings,

5pF would seem like a reasonable guesstimate to me, though since it’s not characterized for the part it’s the sort of figure that one would do well to characterize/validate for oneself.
