Those inductor can run hot. Do yours? Insulating them may create thermal
problems.

Thanks for the tip. I ran them on the bench for a couple of days and
couldn't detect any significant heat issues. Time will tell if there is
a longevity issue, although I've had several fail already due to
components on the board. They're just low quality, and the sooner they
die, the sooner I can replace them with something better.
