Hi Geo,
coil for PD3200 should have:
less than 1ohm resistance
less than 400uH inductance ->
If you go over this limits P-channel mosfet can become very hot.
I use usually 0.75mm2 threaded wire.
Geo,
You can use large variety of coils for PD3200 - depends on what you want.
.. there is no recipie for one and only best coil...
Kasnimir gave folowing data for suitable coils:
1) Diameter 38cm, 20 turns, 1mm-PVC insulated wire (390uH)
2) Diameter 25cm, 25 turns, 1mm wire (380uH)
I've made lots and lots of coils just for experimenting with PD3200,
and my best coil is spider-web wound, 25cm diameter, 310uH, threaded wire 0.75mm.
results -> 50 Eurocents at 35cm!
But as you say: experimenting will be the best to find out what you want.
